Microbiology

&   Wine Spoilage Monitoring

Stab Vida Dekkera/Brettanomyces Differential Media include ready-to-use agar plates or broth, which differentiates it from other yeast species in 7-14 days.  DBDM media is the top-of-the-line Brettanomyces differential growth media, avoiding false-positive results and encouraging growth of ‘non-culturable’ Brett

Compact Dry media store at room temperature; yeast & mold differential media and total aerobic counts media differentiate organisms based on colony color.

Our Sartorius 100-Monitors make microbial concentration easy, reliable and affordable. These Monitors are sterile-packaged, microbiological filtration & growth funnels - ready to connect for vacuum filtration and then convert to Petri dishes for direct incubation/growth.  Our Sartorius line includes 17 types of traditional food & beverage media in convenient ampulized and ready-to-reconstitute dry disk formats; e.g. the Differential WL media provides the traditional Wallerstein-cycloheximide media for bacteria/Brett assessment. 

 Z-Brett 3-hour EIA test provides rapid, sensitive & accurate on-site monitoring of Brettanomyces from Z-Wine Co.  Unitech also offers Z-Brett Laboratory Service testing by Z-Brett EIA &culture methods.
