Benefits of BBGT growing media
- Significant savings in time(10 seconds vs. 10 minutes) and cost (€1–3 per sample).
- Ease of use: Ready-to-use media with vivid color indicators; no sterile laboratory or specialized personnel are required.
- Safety: Free of antibiotics or toxic substances such as “Cycloeximide”.
- Accuracy: Ability to analyze large sample volumes for greater statistical significance.
Major crops and growing regions
Drip-free design with a wide opening for easy, sterile sampling:
- ALP (Culture Nectar): For general hygiene status and total bacterial count.
- AFG (Culture Nectar): For bacteria that spoil non-alcoholic beverages (juices, tea, soft drinks).
- BPO (Culture Nectar): For bacteria harmful to beer in samples containing active yeast.
- BOB (Culture Nectar): For bacteria and yeasts that spoil beer (filtered beer, pasteurized beer).
- Booster Media (HBK & FPK): Concentrates for samples with or without active yeast.
- SPW & PWA: Concentrates for detecting bacteria in rinse and process water without membrane filtration.
- Gas test kit: Sterile, single-use kit for microbiological sampling of technical gases such as compressed air or CO2.
The land types (ALP, AFG, BOB, BPO, SPW, PWA) are available in:
- Ready-to-use plastic bottles: sterile wide-mouth bottles designed for direct sampling. The bottles are optimized to hold approximately 100 ml of sample, ensuring statistically reliable volumes.
- 250 mL plastic bottles: sterile bottles containing 250 mL of broth, sufficient for analyzing up to 10 different samples. Can also be used for filtration analysis.
