|
|
Hey guys,
To be transparent, I work for a company that sells an instrument that is used for cell culture and fermentation monitoring. I want this to be a discussion and not an advertisement so I will not plug the instrument or company name unless it's requested.
We recently developed an Optical Density assay for the instrument for use in monitoring bacterial and yeast growth. It was developed for the pharmaceutical market, but as an avid beer fan myself I thought it may be of interest to brewers such as yourselves. It also has the ability to monitor the below metabolites that we've identified as important to the pharmaceutical market:
-Glucose
-Lactate
-Ammonia
-Sodium
-Potassium
-Phosphate
-Magnesium
-Calcium
-Galactose
-Sucrose
-Acetate
Would this instrument be of interest in a brewery environment? What assays would be relevant and are there any you would like to see that aren't offered?
Appreciate any feedback you guys have. Thanks!

Hi Kal,
Thank you so much for your speedy and extensive reply! Though it sounds like this technology may be useful, I think the cost may be outside the scope of what would be feasible at a home brewing level. I appreciate the link to the pro brewer forum. It may be more feasible at a higher production volume, but I do have concerns about the price barrier at that level too. Thanks again for your help and the upkeep on this great forum!
