Beer spoilage
The history of beer spoilage bacteria and yeast detection.
Since several thousand years, lots of ancient cultures discovered the nice effect wet storage cereal might have by alcohol production — without knowing scientific details of the process. However, the beer production by trial and error was one of the first human-driven industrial biotechnological processes.

Rapid beer screening using QuickGEN & MyGo Pro
In this video, we show you how to use the real-time PCR cycler “MyGo Pro” for beer analysis. This is a very fast and comfortable way to test beer for various beer spoilage bacteria.
Compact Dry: Food microbiology testing made easier with R-Biopharm
Tune in and explore the world of food microbiology made easier with Compact Dry! Compact Dry is a reliable test system for analytical evaluation of microbial safety in food and pharmaceutical products. Compact Dry plates can be used anywhere at any time since they are stable at common temperatures for long periods of time as they do not require reconstitution. Chromogenic agents present in all Compact Dry media allow easy counting of colonies after incubation.
PCR: Time to cut costs – with reliable results
Do you still pay so much for external analysis costs? Or do you have trouble with false-positive results or cross-reactions? You haven’t thought about in-house testing using real-time PCR yet? Being independent from external service labs? It is so easy. That’s see!
PCR analysis the easy way
Real-time PCR has proved to be a reliable and efficient analysis method in many areas. For laboratories who have avoided up to now the investments for PCR analysis, the new compact RIDA®CYCLER now makes it easy to get started. In this short video, Ronald Niemeijer presents the instrument in more detail.
Brettanomyces in wine
Brettanomyces yeasts cause the so-called “Brett“ off-flavor: an unpleasant smell of horse stable, leather, sweat or even urine. Early detection of a possible contamination is of great interest for winemakers. In this video, Ronald Niemeijer presents a fast and precise method for this.
On the trail of beer spoilage bacteria
In general, beer is not a likely habitat for microorganisms: the alcohol content, the low pH value, the anaerobic atmosphere, the hop bitters and the limited nutrient supply make beer a rather hostile environment. However, some bacteria have adapted to this environment. In this video, Ronald Niemeijer explains how to detect them.
How effective is your Salmonella monitoring?
Salmonella is the most common cause of food poisoning in the EU with over 100,000 reported illnesses every year. In this video, Ronald Niemeijer shows you how to detect Salmonella contamination in an effective way.
