Flow VIT® technology
Flow VIT® technology combines the specificity and speed of the patented VIT® gene probe technology with the power of flow cytometry. This innovative combination enables the precise and automated detection of Brettanomyces bruxellensis and other microorganisms in winemaking. Thanks to its unique ability to detect only live cells, Flow VIT® technology offers the highest reliability in analysis - from fermentation to storage.
With the CyFlow™ BrettCount test kit, wine producers not only get fast and accurate results, but also the assurance that their processes can be continuously monitored and optimized. This technology sets new standards in microbiological quality control by enabling comprehensive automation and robust, specific detection. This takes wine production to a new level of quality.

Microbiological quality control in wine
Innovative solutions for fast and reliable control of the microbial status at various stages of cider and wine production.

CyFlow™ BrettCount
Test kit for the rapid and automated analysis of Brettanomyces bruxellensis (Dekkera bruxellensis) in wine production samples. Identification and quantification of vital Brettanomyces bruxellensis cells is available in a few minutes.

Flow VIT® technology
The Flow VIT® technology is based on the reliable VIT® gene probe technology. The analysis method was specially developed for use with flow cytometers and enables the rapid, highly specific and automated analysis of microbiological samples.
