Pall Corporation will introduce new developments for beer and beverage production at Brau Beviale, November 9-11, 2011 in Nuremberg, Germany. The company also will hold a panel discussion on the subject of kieselguhr-free beer filtration on November 9th. During the discussion, users of PROFi technology will have the chance to share experiences with beer filtration experts.
Innovations being spotlighted by Pall during the show include the Pall GeneDisc(R) Rapid Microbiology System.
Pall's GeneDisc system is a new easy-to-use instrument for quick and reliable detection of beer-spoiling microorganisms. Based on real-time PCR technology, the flexible, modular GeneDisc system helps optimize work flow and offers the capability to process different applications simultaneously. Its intuitive touch-screen interface and built-in, user-friendly software and barcode reader allow for easy adoption of the technology. A clear, straightforward display of results enables minimally trained personnel to routinely perform sophisticated biological sample testing for rapid decision-making.
The Pall GeneDisc system recently helped German authorities screen for a deadly strain of E.coli that disrupted the nation's food industry. The technology was used by Germany's national reference laboratory to expedite testing of food samples for the toxic strain of the pathogen known as E.coli O104:H4 (STEC).
