s the beer safety experts from Germany, BIOTECON Diagnostics has been developing and producing
molecular rapid tests for breweries for over two decades and is now a global leader in real-time
PCR kits and cyclers for the detection, identification, and quantification of all major brewing spoilage
organisms. With a vision of a better and safer planet where no one gets sick from the food and drink they
consume, BIOTECON Diagnostics develops best-in-class products to increase the efficiency, accuracy and
reproducibility of the food safety testing process. ATPGroup is proud to be the exclusive U.S. distributor of
REAL-TIME PCR KITS
The foodproof® detection and quantification kits developed and produced
by BIOTECON Diagnostics allow fast, simple and reliable detection of
pathogens, spoilage organisms, allergens, genetically modified plants,
and viruses in beer and other beverages. Analyses are based on real-time
PCR, a simple and proven solution for the reliable detection of genetic
information (nucleic acids). The high quality of BIOTECON’s foodproof®
products has repeatedly been validated and confirmed by independent
institutes such as AOAC, NordVal and MicroVal.

foodproof® Beer Screening Kit
Allows detection and identification of the 30 most important beer-spoiling bacteria in a
single reaction.
y Detects the genera Lactobacillus, Pediococcus, Megasphaera and Pectinatus.
y The most important representatives of these genera (including Lactobacillus
acetolerans, Lactobacillus brevis, Lactobacillus lindneri, Pediococcus damnosus or
Megasphaera cerevisiae) can also be identified by melting curve analysis in the same test.
foodproof® Beer Screening LyoKit 1
Allows detection of the 32 most important beer-spoiling bacteria in a single reaction.
y Identifies Lactobacillus brevis and detects the hop tolerance genes horA and horC in one
test in three different fluorescence channels.
foodproof® Beer Screening LyoKit 2
Allows detection of >30 different types of beer spoilage bacteria.
y Differentiates between the lactic acid bacteria, Lactobacillus and Pediococcus, and the
obligate anaerobic bacteria, Pectinatus and Megasphaera.
y Detects the hop tolerance genes horA and horC in a single test using four different
fluorescence channels.
foodproof® Spoilage Yeast Detection 1 LyoKit
Allows detection of the spoilage yeasts Zygosaccharomyces, Dekkera / Brettanomyces and
Saccharomyces spp.
y Quantification available if required.
y Detects only the DNA of viable organisms.
