Detection and identification of microbial contaminants with real-time PCR

Detection of trace bacterial contamination in the brewery using conventional culture methods is often a long, complex process. Since bacteria multiply only very slowly under certain conditions, the time required to achieve reliable analysis results is equally lengthy (5 – 10 days). A modern method, such as real-time PCR shortens analysis times significantly (24 – 48 hours). With the foodproof Beer Screening Kit from Biotecon Diagnostics, almost all beer spoilage contaminants can be identified without any additional effort or loss of time. With this essential information, the risk management response can be improved and costs reduced dramatically.
