WHY USE THE BEER SPOILERALERT™ ASSAY?

The Rheonix Beer SpoilerAlert assay runs on the fully automated Encompass Optimum™ workstation. The low-cost, easy-to-use workstation minimizes hands-on time and eliminates complicated technical steps. Rheonix has made comprehensive beer spoilage testing faster, easier and more affordable than ever.

One simple test is all it takes.

“In its [the Beer SpoilerAlert assay's] short time here, we have learned an enormous amount about the bacteria we find in our plant. This is a first for us, and it is already shaping our cleaning procedures and frequencies. In addition, we also discovered that the results from two tests of the same vessel may reveal if a particular bacteria is lingering between washes. Prior to this, we relied solely on counts with rudimentary characterization. This tool is very powerful, and we intend to use it to make process improvements around the entire plant.”
