Flow cytometry, a new chapter in yeast research in Weihenstephan
After much effort, flow cytometry has finally become established in yeast research in Weihenstephan. Since end of October 2008, the Faculty of Technology of Brewing II has had the Cell Lab Quanta SC available, a well known and, in future, a prospectively important analysis method. Not least thanks to special funding from VeW e.V. (Association of Weihenstephan Alumni at the Brewing Department) on the occasion of the 110th anniversary of the Association, evaluations for assessing yeast physiology in breweries are being carried out. The extensive possibilities for measuring yeast physiology, already identified particularly by K.-J. Hutter at the turn of the millennium, can now be fully utilised.
