Detect common beer spoiling microorganisms via polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Our PCR package tests for the presence of the wild yeasts Saccharomyces cerevisiae var diastaticus and Brettanomyces and the lactic-acid producing bacteria Lactobacillus and Pediococcus. While traditional microbial detection methods take many days to get results, PCR results are available in a few hours allowing brewers to confidently make time-sensitive decisions sooner.
