PRODUCTION OF AN ASPERGILLUS CONTAMINATION IMPRINT BASED ON DETECTION OF MVOC

摘要

This invention proposes a method comprising the steps of: (a) taking an air sample in an indoor environment, then (b) detecting Microbial Volatile Organic Compounds (MVOCs) in the sample. The step (b) comprises searching for a chemical imprint comprising at least one target molecule that is an MVOC associated with an aspergillus metabolism. Thanks to the invention, detection of such target molecules is easier and faster than detection of aspergillus strains or soluble aspergillus metabolites
