More information on beer screening
You can find more information on our real-time PCR test kits for beer analysis in our free brochure.
Do you want to test beer, wine or juices for beverage spoilers? For fast and specific screening and detection of microbiological spoilage parameters in beverages, a wide product line of qPCR kits is offered.
Spoilage bacteria and yeasts can cause turbidity, change of taste and off-flavors in beverages. To avoid losses or recalls, it is important to test for spoilage organisms in all areas of production. For fast and specific screening and detection of microbiological spoilage parameters in food and beverage production, we offer a wide product line of test kits.
The following spoilage bacteria and yeasts are of special interest in the beverage industry and should be monitored:
Beer analysis can help you to avoid product recalls, to minimize production losses and to prevent damage to brand image. We offer test systems for in-process control and/or for on-line final product control. Use different analytical modules to establish your customized monitoring of microbiological beer spoilage organisms in beer and beer products: Either extremely fast or maximal sensitive detection and specific identification is possible by combining different methods of sample preparation and detection with real-time PCR.

Our portfolio includes QuickGen screening kits, GEN-IAL® screening kits and beer-specific kits. The new QuickGEN line is characterized by a simple and rapid sampling and assay process, providing results within two hours after sampling. The test is based on filtration or centrifugation with subsequent qPCR and allows an extreme rapid and specific screening and detection in beer without pre-enrichment (reduced sensitivity, no differentiation in vitality). Analysis is very easy to perform even for untrained users.
The established qPCR kits based on pre-enrichment of the sample allow a sensitive screening and specific detection. The new concept of pre-coated 8-well qPCR strips (TPBD, TPYB) enables the user to screen and identify safely over 30 beer spoilage bacteria and yeasts in one qPCR run without misinterpretation and can be performed on common multiplex blockcyclers.
We offer several test kits for wine analysis, e.g. for detection of the yeast Brettanomyces (Dekkera bruxellensis) which may spoil the taste and flavour of the wine.
