Alicyclobacillus, also known as thermophilic acidophilus (TAB), is a spoilage organism in the juice industry. Contamination of these non-pathogenic bacteria may occur at various stages of the process. We provide you with rapid detection and identification of TAB corruption.
For rapid detection and identification of TAB spoilage
1. Allow simultaneous detection and identification of beer spoilage bacteria within a few days, and colony identification within 2 hours.
2. Designed for daily use. Implementing PCR (polymerase chain reaction) has never been easier.
3. The method is based on the detection of stable genes.
