Outsourcing wine spoilage testing can become costly, especially when multiple samples need to be analyzed throughout fermentation, aging, and before bottling. External laboratory fees, shipping expenses, and waiting for results can add up. With R-Biopharm’s GEN-IAL® QuickGEN Wine Screening solution and RIDA®CYCLER, wineries can bring targeted microbial screening in-house for faster, more cost-effective quality control.
Reduce testing costs: Minimize reliance on outsourced laboratories and recurring shipping fees. In-house screening offers the potential for meaningful savings, particularly for wineries testing samples routinely. Additionally, when most of your outsourced analysis shows no evidence of wine spoilage, such as with post-bottle sterility testing, wouldn't it make sense to bring that in-house and save on third party analysis costs?
Get results in approximately two hours: The GEN-IAL® QuickGEN workflow delivers rapid results, helping winemakers identify potential spoilage concerns and make timely decisions.
High specificity for targeted detection: Real-time PCR offers high sensitivity and specificity in must and wine samples, supporting the detection and differentiation of relevant spoilage yeasts and bacteria.
Open-system flexibility: The RIDA®CYCLER is an open-system real-time PCR instrument, providing flexibility for compatible assays beyond a single wine-screening application. This can help wineries make greater use of their in-house testing investment as analytical needs evolve. In fact, GEN®-IAL test kits work with many open-system real-time PCR instruments!
The bottom line: Combining the RIDA®CYCLER with GEN-IAL® QuickGEN Wine Screening gives wineries a practical way to bring microbial screening closer to the winemaking process—with rapid results, targeted detection, and the potential to reduce routine testing costs while maintaining greater control over quality decisions.
