Beer Yeast Counting With the NucleoCounter® YC-100

Laboratory personnel in the brewing industry usually employ microscopic techniques to determine yeast cell concentrations. Done manually, this approach is often time-consuming and can lead to results that are dependent on the subjective judgment of the operator.

ChemoMetec A/S has released an application to take over the task of manual counting. The YC-100 features a new-patented novel technology. The integrated fluorescense microscope is designed to detect signals from individual yeast cells. The obtained results are presented on the integrated display or via the optional software program the NucleoView. Beer yeast counting can be made easy with the NucleoCounter® YC-100
