Brief Instructions The PCR reagents and the samples are prepared. After the addition of the sample to the PCR reagents, the PCR is started. The resulting PCR products are detected by a simple lateral flow test
This test discovers beer germs in a timely and precise manner
Method/Platform
PCR
Range/Assay Sensivity
10^4 – 10^5 cfu/mL
Test Principle
The technological basis for the GenLine tests is the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) combined with lateral flow tests.
Labelled specific primers are used to amplify specific DNA fragments. In addition to the target gene, a control gene, which is also present in the PCR mixes, is amplified in order to make sure that the PCR process works properly.
The resulting PCR products carry the labels of the incorporated primers.
In a second part of the test, the created PCR products are detected by a lateral flow Test Strip. A “molecular sandwich” is formed and becomes visible as a line on the test Strip.

The Digestible and Resistant Starch Assay Kit (K-DSTRS) for the determination of digestible, resistant and total starch in starch samples, plant and other materials.
This method is based on the research of Englyst et al. (Ref) with some modifications. Digestion is performed using saturating levels of pancreatic α-amylase (PAA) and amyloglucosidase (AMG), but in stirred containers rather than shaken tubes, to simplify sample removal.
In line with Englyst definitions:
Rapidly digestible starch (RDS) is that starch which is digested within 20 min.
Slowly digestible starch (SDS) is that starch which is digested between 20 and 120 min.
A new term, ‘Total digestible starch (TDS)’ is introduced (and measured) to cover all starch that is digested within 4 h (the average time of residence of food in the human small intestine).
Resistant starch (RS) then, is that starch which is not digested within 4 h.
The incubation conditions parallel those used in AOAC Method 2017.16, a new, rapid integrated procedure for the measurement of total dietary fiber (Megazyme method K-RINTDF). This method is physiologically based and designed to fit the definition of DF announced by Codex Alimentarius in 2009.
The Digestible and Resistant Starch Assay Kit (K-DSTRS) for the determination of digestible, resistant and total starch in starch samples, plant and other materials.
The α-D-Glucuronidase test kit is a simple, reliable and accurate method for the measurement and analysis of α-D-glucuronidase in various enzyme preparations. The kit contains a pure aldotriouronic acid substrate and an α-D-glucuronidase (GH67) control enzyme.
New, improved substrate.
This kit contains highly purified, borohydride reduced aldotriouronic acid with a terminal α-D-glucuronic acid substitution, which is an excellent substrate for α-D-glucuronidases from GH67. This substrate can be also used for the measurement of α-D-glucuronidases from GH115, however the rate of hydrolysis compared to GH67 is reduced. Previously this kit contained a mixture of borohydride reduced aldouronic acids (tri:tetra:penta).
