Scorpion Microbial Assay
South Australian wine technical consultants Provisor Pty Ltd and Advanced Analytical Australia Pty Ltd are teaming up to deliver a new DNA-based spoilage evaluation service to the wine industry in Australia and New Zealand. Developed by ETS Laboratories in the United States, the Scorpion assay detects spoilage microbial organisms in grape juice and wine. Known as the "Scorpion assay", the technology gives the wine industry the ability to detect spoilage organisms, such as bacteria and yeast, fast and at very low concentrations (10 cells/mL). Coupled with volatile metabolite analysis (i.e. 4-EP, 4-EG), and also often in conjunction with traditional plating analysis, this technology offers a powerful tool in monitoring and combating potentially harmful organisms and their spoilage metabolites. The Scorpion assay is complementary to traditional methods, which have high detection limits, take many days to perform, and cannot detect viable but non-culturable organisms. Useful Links
