Suspected mold contamination on textiles

Is every stain you notice a case of mold?

YCM Microbiology Research Center (MRC) concluded the answer is… not necessarily!

Sometimes stains observed can look similar to a mold spot, but this does not always end up being the case. Very often, it can be difficult to identify the differences at plain sight. Because of this common misjudgment, products are sometimes scrapped and remade, causing environmental pollution that could have been avoided.
For this, YCM MRC has developed an ISO-certified technical service that solves this kind of problems. In this new research article, we share about this case study in particular, for your reference.
