Wine
Oeno Yeast Reagent
Oeno Yeast Reagent kit for detecting and counting metabolically active yeast cells, both of which are relevant parameters in samples from growing yeast cultures.
Brett Count
BrettCount Test kit for the specific detection of living Brettanomyces bruxellensis cells in wine and pre-mature wine sample. The specifically programmed VIT® (VIT® = vermicon identification technology) gene probes bind to target sequences within the yeast in the wine sample material, delivering maximum specificity and speed for the detection.
Juice
Test kit for the specific detection of living Alicyclobacillus spp. as well as Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris cells in fruit juices, fruit concentrates and similar samples after short pre-enrichment. The specifically programmed VIT® (VIT® = vermicon identification technology) gene probes bind to target sequences within living bacteria in the fruit sample material, delivering maximum specificity and speed forthe detection.
Water
CyStain BacCount Total
CyStain BacCount Total Reagent kit to stain all bacteria in water samples with a green fluorescence. Important in water treatment process controls as well as microbial ecology.
CyStain BacCount Viable
CyStain BacCount Viable – Reagent kit to stain dead bacteriain water samples with a red fluorescence. Important in drinking water treatment to monitor successful inactivation of harmful bacteria.
Viability
Reagent kit for yeast cell counting and viability testing (differentiation between living and dead cells), to determine the growth phase of yeast cultures in product manufacturing.
Trehalose
Reagent kit for measuring trehalose in yeast after a cell fixation step. Trehalose assists in stabilising the yeast cell membrane during nutrient depletion and starvation, and other stresses such as heat shock or ethanol exposure. It thus serves as a major stress tolerance indicator.
Cell Cycle
Reagent kit for staining of yeast nuclear DNA after cell fixation by ethanol. This allows determination of total DNA and cell cycle analysis, which varies during the fermentation process.
Neutral Lipids
Reagent kit for measuring neutral lipids in yeast. Neutral lipids serve as a storage substance and confer stress tolerance to yeast by stabilising the membrane and protect cells against bacterial contaminants.
Glycogen
Reagent kit for staging yeast growth cycle through glycogen measurement of glycogen. Glycogen content varies during the fermentation process: it is accumulated in yeast during the early exponential phase and utilised during nutrient depletion.
