Rapid and Innovative Technique for Detection of Beer Spoilage Microorganisms

Ensuring excellent product quality is essential for microbiological quality control in breweries. Our HybriScan™ assays provide rapid and accurate molecular detection of beer spoilage microorganisms at a faster rate as compared to conventional methods.

Culture Method for Beer Quality Control

Traditional methods are based morphology, staining methods, enzyme reactions (metabolism) and diverse media.

Microbiological Media and Detection

Molecular biology-based methods, like PCR, can be used for lactobacilli detection. However, they are often quite expensive. We provide a revolutionary molecular biology method that is rapid, easy, and cost-effective.

Probiotics and Human Health

Probiotics exhibit an inhibitory effect on pathogens, help prevent chronic intestinal inflammatory diseases or atopic syndromes, and support the immune system.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
