Contamination can alter the odor, flavor or turbidity of a beverage, so spoilage organism testing is crucial to enable the safe release of drinks to the market. Spoiled ingredients or finished products can have a huge impact on your business, leading to financial losses or, at worst, product recall.
Our microbiology safety testing solutions include a full range of culture media and rapid tests covering the most important spoilage organisms to ensure the microbiological quality of your beverages.
Culture media and tests are used to check the presence or absence of undesired microorganisms such as yeasts and bacteria in your beers, wines, soft drinks, water and juices.
Rapid spoilage organism detection
If you are looking for a rapid method for the detection of spoilage organisms in your beverage products, our HybriScan® test is a simple, sensitive and inexpensive method which could help lead to a faster and easier product release.
Accurate results can be obtained after only 2 hours of testing, and with this two-probe method for detection of microbial rRNA, false-positives are almost impossible.

Media fill simulations for beverage bottling
When producing low-acid aseptic beverages, all filling equipment needs to be sterilized to ensure that there is no contamination from spoilage bacteria, yeasts or molds. This can lead to the loss of huge number of products, but any contamination can result in considerable reprocessing, disposal and product-recall costs, as well as damage to brand reputation and consumer confidence.
