The foodproof® Beer Screening Kit is a comprehensive beer spoilage test kit using real-time PCR technology for brewery quality control. This molecular beer spoiler detection system identifies 31 spoilage bacteria species across Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Pectinatus, and Megasphaera genera with validated sensitivity of 1 to 10CFU/mL. Designed for detection of Pediococcus in beer and other critical spoilage organisms, the kit provides species-specific identification through melting curve analysis. Beverage quality professionals can pinpoint contamination sources for targeted corrective action, with complete results in 48 to 72 hours to accelerate batch release and protect product quality.
- Accurate results: trust results due to a high sensitivity and specificity, differentiates closely related species, meaning fewer re-tests and less waste of truly safe food
- Robust procedure: streamlined workflows minimises user errors and cross-contamination
- Easy-to-use: few pipetting steps, simple sample and reagent handling
- Superior sensitivity: detects small organism numbers with low DNA levels (or low levels of DNA), easily detects low-level contamination, keeping affected food from being released and decreasing risk of recalls
- Broad compatibility: suitable for a variety of real-time cyclers, allows fast integration into existing PCR labs
- Multiplex assays: detect multiple organisms in one single test, identify several targets in one assay to save sample volume and time by improving workflows
- Kit contains 96 reactions
