Description
Pectinatus spoils beer by producing an unpleasant smell similar to rotten eggs. Because it is an anaerobic bacteria extremeley sensitive to oxygen, it is difficult to detect by enrichment alone.
The PIKA 4e Pectinatus test kit screens for and quantifies all Pectinatus species. Includes all reagents needed to extract and amplify DNA using Real-Time PCR. 48 reactions/test kit.
