Marcia Torres, senior winemaker at Jackson Family Wines, led an R&D project with Invisible Sentinel, a company belonging to the bioMérieux group, to find a fast, effective and accurate solution for the detection of brettanomyces bruxellensis in the winery, based on molecular biology.
This solution had to be not only economical, but also viable in terms of implementation and capable of being adaptable to different winery profiles of the Jackson Family Wines group.
We will review the main current detection techniques, but above all we will delve into proactive monitoring, its economic advantages and protocol management.
We will demonstrate the VERIFLOW® solution live with real samples and the corresponding readout of results.
