Specific rapid detection test for beer-spoilage bacteria using fluorescently labelled gene probes
VIT-Bier plus L. brevis is a novel rapid test for detection of beer-spoilage bacteria. It is based on fluorescently labelled gene probe technology. Using these gene probes following incubation in NBB for 1 to 2 days, all beer-spoilage lactic acid bacteria can be reliably and rapidly made visible and identified in all stages of the brewing process. Both filter feed as well as filtrate samples can be tested.
