Partnering For Proactive Solutions
With PCR as a proactive screening tool, we're helping our brewery partners enhance quality control with genomic-level detail. To further aid brewers, we've developed the first PCR solutions specifically designed for yeast pitches and propagations.
We are proud to be a true partner to the brewing industry, helping brewers move from simple test results to in-depth, actionable insights. Have a complex problem you can’t solve? We’d love to take a crack at it. Partnering with global beverage manufacturers and focusing on innovation, we’re developing onsite detection solutions and augmented diagnostic services for spoilage organisms, quality indicators, and pathogens. From hand-in-hand consulting to the development of custom assays, we won’t back down from any challenge.
Molecular Test Kits
HEX: Saccharomyces species; FAM: Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus spoilage genes; Cy5: Dekkera/Brettanomyces species; Cy5.5: Internal Amplification Control
GENE-UP® BREWPRO™ WILD YEAST PLUS delivers complete, accurate, and actionable results through the addition of proprietary and predictive gene targets. The resulting data empowers brewers to increase speed and confidence in their product release decisions, driving greater operational efficiencies.
FAM: Lactobacillus/Pediococcus species; ROX: horA/horC hop-resistance plasmid genes; Cy5: Megasphaera/Pectinatus species; HEX: Internal Amplification Control
GENE-UP® BREWPRO™ BACTERIA PLUS provides genomic-level detection of the lactic-acid bacteria species paired with risk-based detection by targeting the horA/horC hop resistance genes in the same assay. In addition, the test screens for strict anaerobes that can be near impossible to culture effectively via traditional microbiological methods and severely affect products with lower levels of dissolved oxygen, ABV, and IBU.
FAM: Lactobacillus/Pediococcus species; ROX: Acetobacter/Gluconobacter/Bacillus species; Cy5: Internal Amplification Control
GENE-UP® BREWPRO™ YEAST SLURRY (YS) Bacteria and Yeast assays are the first PCR solutions available to the beer industry specifically designed for yeast pitches and propagations. Co-developed and validated with White Labs Yeast, this comprehensive system optimizes performance & sensitivity in cell dense, highly-competitive matrices instead of simply adapting finished beer assay workflows.
FAM:Dekkera/Brettanomyces species, Saccharomyces cerevisiae var. diastaticus (STA1); ROX: Candida/Pichia/Wickerhamomyces species; Cy5: Internal Amplification Control
