Hygiena foodproof Beer Screening 2 LyoKit, 5'Nuclease, Low Profile KIT230074

The foodproof Beer Screening 2 LyoKit is a manufacturer-provided real-time PCR assay for detection of beer spoilage bacteria in beer, enrichment broth, and pitching yeast samples. The kit uses ready-to-use lyophilized reagents in a 2 LyoKit format with 5' nuclease chemistry and a low-profile design to enable high-throughput screening (96 reactions per kit; up to 94 samples per run). The assay simultaneously detects Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Pectinatus, and Megasphaera species and includes detection of hop-tolerance genes horA and horC. The kit also incorporates UNG to prevent carry-over contamination for reliable quality-control testing in beer production environments.

Key Features:

• Technology: Real-time PCR with 5' nuclease chemistry
• Format: 2 LyoKit, low-profile design
• Reactions: 96 reactions (provides testing for up to 94 samples per run)
• Targets: Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Pectinatus, Megasphaera species; horA and horC hop-tolerance genes
• Contamination control: Includes UNG (uracil-N-glycosylase) to prevent carry-over contamination
• Reagent format: Ready-to-use lyophilized reagents

Advantages:

• High sensitivity and specificity for accurate detection and differentiation of closely related spoilage species
• Lyophilized, ready-to-use reagents and low-profile format support streamlined workflow and high-throughput testing
• Integrated UNG contamination control reduces false positives from carry-over and improves result reliability
• Simultaneous detection of multiple spoilage organisms and hop-tolerance genes enables comprehensive beer quality screening
