QUICK FACTS
FastOrange B Bouillon Broth 12-pack
Detect beer spoiling bacteria in samples throughout the production process, from yeast all the way to finished product, with one simple method using FastOrange® B Bouillon (Broth).
In a sterile flask, simply mix a sample 1:1 with PIKA FastOrange B Bouillon and incubate for 5-7 days. If beer spoilers are present, these are easily visible to the naked eye via both a color change of the medium from violet to yellow and an accompanying haze formation.
Since FastOrange B Bouillon comes as a ready-made broth, there is neither a need to prepare nor autoclave the medium. Depending upon the sample size, aliquots of any volume can easily be made from the 240 mL bottles.
When using FastOrange B Bouillon prior to PCR analysis, sample sensitivity can be improved and turnaround time reduced by performing a 3-5 day enrichment step.
