Description

Lactobacillus and Pediococcus can spoil beer by the production of lactic acid. However of the over 200 species of these genera, only thirteen species have been proven to spoil beer.

The PIKA 4e Real Beer Spoiler test kit screens for only those thirteen specific species, preventing the false positives common in less-sensitive kits, or kits relying on hops resistance genes. Read more about the Real Beer Spoilers of Lactobacillus and Pediococcus.

Spoilers are quantitatively detected using probe-based Real-Time PCR. Includes all reagents needed to extract and amplify DNA. 48 reactions/test kit.
