Dave Alburty, CEO, InnovaPrep explains the important differences and values in efficiency vs concentration factors for pathogen detection.
InnovaPrep’s tools for concentration include:
The Concentrating Pipette – provides concentration factors of 10,000X or more.
The Large Volume Concentration (LVC) Kit- provides concentration factors of 2,000X or more.
Dave Alburty, CEO, InnovaPrep provides an overview of rapid sample concentration using the InnovaPrep Concentrating Pipette.
The poster A Rapid and Efficient Sample Preparation Method for Spoilage Organism Detection in American Lager Beer was presented at the 2018 ASBC Brewing Summit, by Michael Hornback, PhD.
