Veriflow Brett system same-day test for <em>Brettanomyces bruxellensis</em>

Brettanomyces bruxellensis (Brett) is a commonly occurring organism in the brewing and wine industries that can alter the taste and aroma of finished product.

Since Brett can cause varying degrees of spoilage of wine, it is important for winemakers to check for the presence of this organism in their wine and production environment throughout the process.

When caught early, there are various intervention methods available in order to prevent spoilage from occurring. However, until recently, Brett detection methods were relatively time consuming and/or unreliable.

The Invisible Sentinel Veriflow Brett system, available from Australasian Medical and Scientific Limited, provides results in 4 h, which allows same-day action to be taken. The system has a simplified sample preparation that minimises hands-on time and provides visual, easy-to-interpret results. This means users do not need highly specialised staff or equipment to perform the test on-site.

The technology allows for the sensitivity of real-time PCR tests, but with the ease of use associated with flow-based assays.
