Hygiena foodproof Beer Screening Kit, Hybridization Probes (LC 1.x, 2.0, 480 II) KIT230066

The foodproof Beer Screening Kit is a real-time PCR test kit for detection and species-specific identification of beer spoilage bacteria. The kit uses hybridization probes and enables detection of Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Pectinatus and Megasphaera from beer, enrichment broth and pitching yeast samples, with species-level identification (e.g., L. brevis, L. lindneri, P. damnosus, P. inopinatus, M. cerevisiae) via melting curve analysis. The assay is provided for use with LC 1.x, LC 2.0 and LC 480 II instruments and is intended for rapid molecular quality-control testing in brewery and beverage production environments.

Key Features:

• Reactions: 96
• Technology: Real‑time PCR with hybridization probes
• Targets: Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Pectinatus and Megasphaera (species-level identification including L. brevis, L. lindneri, P. damnosus, P. inopinatus, M. cerevisiae)
• Compatible with LightCycler® LC 1.x, LC 2.0 and LC 480 II instruments
• Format includes integrated internal control and melting curve analysis

Advantages:

• High sensitivity and specificity for accurate detection of beer spoilage bacteria
• Species differentiation reduces repeat testing and waste
• Streamlined workflow with few pipetting steps to minimize user error and cross-contamination
• Rapid molecular results to detect contamination early and help maintain product quality
