Flow VIT Alicyclobacillus Kit

Fast and reliable Alicyclobacillus spoiler monitoring

Test kit for the specific detection of living Alicyclobacillus spp. as well as Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris cells in fruit juices, fruit concentrates and similar samples after short pre-enrichment. The specifically programmed VIT (VIT = Vermicon Identification Technology) gene probes bind to target structures within the corresponding living bacteria in the fruit sample material and deliver maximum specificity and speed for the detection.

The Flow VIT Solution is an innovative, highly specific, and automated detection system for industrial microbiology. By combining the reliability and specificity of VIT gene probe technology with the speed and objectivity of flow cytometric detection, it allows you to detect beverage spoilers faster and with less effort than classical culture methods, while at the same time avoiding false-positive results.

Maximum detection specificity and reliability

Flow VIT Alicyclobacillus detects all species of the genus Alicyclobacillus. In addition, Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris (including its spores) is specifically detected in parallel. Only living cells are detected, thus avoiding false-positive results.

Fast and uncomplicated analysis

The Flow VIT technology has been specifically designed to meet the requirements of the beverage industry. Sample preparation and the analysis step are simple and quickly done. Due to the automated analysis using the CyFlow Cube 6 flow cytometer, results for your samples are available within a few minutes.

  • Technology:         Fluorescence in-situ hybridization (FISH)
  • Specificity:         Complete Alicyclobacillus genus and the most harmful spoilage organism |  Alicyclobacillus acidoterrestris are identified in parallel.
  • Packaging:       50 tests per kit
  • Storage:            15–25 °C. Store solutions in upright position.
  • Shelf life:            9 months
