Invisible Sentinel brewSTAT Saccharomyces diastaticus detection tool

There are a variety of yeast and bacteria that act as beer spoilers and can cause unintended fermentation. Saccharomyces diastaticus, a wild yeast, presents a challenge for brewers and quality personnel due to its persistence in the environment, its evasiveness and its ability for spoiling beer and risking unstable packaged product.

An incident of Saccharomyces diastaticus can cause the need for a massive clean-up of the brewery and possibly a wide-scale recall. Detection methods such as traditional culturing and sensory perception can often be inaccurate and inefficient.

brewSTAT, powered by Veriflow, is a molecular platform that is designed to be accurate and easy to use. The Veriflow platform utilises DNA Signature Capturing Technology to detect and quantify Saccharomyces diastaticus with easy-to-interpret data available in as little as four hours from sample collection. brewSTAT can be deployed on-site at any sized brewery, with only minimal equipment and training required.

brewSTAT is available from AMSL Scientific.
