Simple Rapid Test for Establishing the Presence of Beer-Spoilage Organisms

Constant monitoring of cleanliness of the operation is routine in a brewery. Microbiological checks are an important part of hygiene monitoring. Swab samples from plants and equipment and their surroundings were cultivated. Depending on microorganism exposure, these exhibit hazes or colour changes in culture media at various rates. Additional analyses of these samples require a lot of experience and are often imprecise. A rapid test detecting PCR products on a test strip could be useful in evaluating difficult samples. This test strip might work in a similar way to a pregnancy test strip.
