Design and Optimization of Dry Rot Fungus Detection

New scientific breakthrough in detecting dry rot!

Article by Noémie Tremblay, Mérule Québec

A research team from TransBIOTech, in collaboration with Air-Diagnostic, began the first phase of development last year on a new molecular detection technique that would enable rapid and reliable identification of dry rot (Serpula lacrymans) directly in the field. This promising advance opens up interesting prospects, both in terms of scientific research and for organizations involved in dry rot prevention and awareness, such as Mérule Québec.
