Qualitative or quantitative detection?
Qualitative

Which method is applied?
The reliable VIT® gene probe technology.

Which requirements are important?
Product and raw material samples:

  • Beer and mixed beer drinks, minimum 100 ml


Pre-enriched samples:

  • Pre-enriched bouillons (10 ml) or agar plates with colonies: this allows a shorter time-to-result.

 

You would like to analyze your samples directly in your on-site laboratory? No problem with our test kits VIT® Beer plus L. brevis, VIT® Beer Megasphaera/Pectinatus and VIT® Lactococcus lactis.
