Spoilage bacteria, yeasts and molds — before quality fails.
Spoilage-ID is a QAID-designed DNA microarray for the bacteria, yeasts and molds responsible for spoilage, shelf-life and quality failures. Where Microbe-ID is safety-oriented, Spoilage-ID is quality-oriented: it helps producers troubleshoot production, protect shelf life, and prevent the economic losses and recalls that follow spoilage defects.
A QAID-designed DNA microarray product: Spoilage-ID microarray slides, run in your own laboratory and analyzed in the QAID App.
Food & beverage producers, breweries, wineries, dairy and meat processors, fresh produce packers, and any manufacturer with strict quality control and shelf-life requirements.
One microarray run screens for many spoilage organisms at once, in place of multiple culture plates or single-target PCR tests.
Common spoilage organisms such as Pseudomonas spp., Brochothrix thermosphacta, lactic acid bacteria (Lactobacillus, Leuconostoc, Pediococcus, Weissella), Bacillus and Geobacillus spore formers, spoilage yeasts (Zygosaccharomyces bailii, Brettanomyces spp.), and molds (Penicillium, Aspergillus).
Microarray data are analyzed in the QAID App, using product-specific workflows and reference libraries. Access to the QAID App is by subscription.
QAID Spoilage-ID microarray slides, a compatible microarray scanner, and a QAID App subscription — with training and implementation support from QAID scientists.
Implementation, laboratory training, result interpretation and ongoing scientific support from QAID scientists, through QAID Training & Consulting.
