The Spoilage Panel screens the three threats brewers care about most, right on the brewery floor, with a clear answer the same day.
SENTRI Spoilage Panel
As low as $12 / sample- 28 beer spoilage bacteria across 13 genera: 22 lactic acid bacteria species plus 6 Megasphaera and Pectinatus species, the organisms behind off-flavors, acidity, haze and hydrogen sulfide.
- 3 hop-resistance genes (HorA, HorC, HitA) show whether bacteria can survive in finished beer.
- Diastatic wild yeast via the STA1 gene, with 19 strains validated.

Food safety
In development
Catch contamination before it ships.
Panels for produce and production lines, run at the facility instead of days later at an outside lab, so a food-safety check happens where the product is.
Agriculture
In development
Crop health, read in the field.
Panels that track crop pathogens and plant health right in the field, so growers can protect a season's yield before an outbreak spreads across the acreage.
Have a different target?
If it has DNA, it's a candidate. Bring us the organism or gene and we'll build a panel that runs on SENTRI.
