Detection of beer contamination: Why EnBase?

The implementation of the EnBase media system can significantly shorten the contaminant detection time for Lactic acid bacteria in breweries. The advantage of the EnBase method for the cultivation of bacterial contaminents is the unique abiliity of EnBase to supply more glucose to the cells without having to increase the initial glucose concentration in the medium. This has traditionally caused osmotic shock to the cells. The EnBase kits contain the designated number of vessels with gel bottom, minimal media and complex Booster compounds to aid cell growth.
