Thermo Scientific™ SureTect™ Brettanomyces spp. and Saccharomyces cerevisiae Multiplex PCR Assay

Beschreibung

Brettanomyces is responsible for the presence of 4-ethyl phenol in wine, juice and high sugar beverages. The presence of Brettanomyces may affect S. cerevisiae fermentation and can impact the color, odor and taste of the produced beverages, leading to bottle recalls, production shut down, damage to brand reputation and loss in consumers' confidence. Maintaining the high quality of each product starts with regular monitoring of environment and early detection in semi-finished and finished products for a rapid cleaning action.

Designed specifically for control programs in beverage production, the Thermo Scientific™ SureTect™ Brettanomyces spp. and S. cerevisiae Multiplex PCR Assay rapidly detects and differentiates both targets using a simple and optimized workflow. The assay has been extensively tested and verified to address the process challenges by offering accuracy, highly-specific results and efficiency in environment monitoring and product release.

The SureTect™ Brettanomyces spp. and S. cerevisiae Multiplex PCR Assay is an optimized solution combining speed and performance in an easy-to-use and cost-effective platform, giving robust results that you can always trust.
