Pall
has released a new GeneDisc technology application for the relative quantification
of Alicyclobacillus and the four main
Alicyclobacillus spoiler strains in
filterable samples within 2 to 3 hours.
Ingredient
and beverage industries can achieve higher profitability with this new
informative protocol enabling effective decision making with early in-process
controls at critical points of production flow:
Highly
contaminated products can be diverted in real time for further processing to
eliminate or reduce the risk to an acceptable level
Efficacy
of countermeasure for TAB contamination reduction can be evaluated
Final
product contamination can be quantified
Combined
with already available protocols for detection of TAB Spoilage, the GeneDisc
method is a complete and flexible tool for controlling beverage processes
impacted by Alicyclobacillus contamination.
Quantification:
Confirm relative Alicyclobacillus
level in filterable samples in as fast as 2 to 3 hours
Detection:
Detect the presence of over 200 Alicyclobacillus
strains in filterable and unfilterable samples using this highly sensitive test
Identification:
Individually and simultaneously identify the four specific Alicyclobacillus species most often associated with spoilage
including A. acidoterrestris, A.
acidophilus, A. cycloheptanicus, A. herbarius.
