Analyses of cereals and malt are centralised at our Research Institute for Raw Materials. Modern equipment, trained personnel and extensive experience guarantees optimal results at competetive prices. All analyses are conducted on the basis of current specifications (e.g. MEBAK, EBC).
Our testing laboratories are accredited according to DIN EN ISO/IEC 17025:2005
Analyses of barley, wheat and other cereals
Mechanical analyses
e.g. volume weight, sieving tests (MEBAK or EBC), thousand kernel weight
Physiological analyses
e.g. germinative energy, germinative capacity, water sensitivity
Grain condition
e.g. pregermination, grain anomalities, detection of moulds or grain pests
Contents
e.g. protein, crude fibre, fat, starch, water
Variety indentification (Elektrophoresis)
Group analyses
e.g. sieving test, protein, germinative energy
Micro maltings (50 g to 50 kg)
Analyses of malt and grind
Mechanical and physiological analyses
e.g. hand assessment, sieving tests, acrospire length, volume weight
Micromalting
Mikro- and minimalting (batch sizes: 50 g, 500 g, 25 kg)
Extraction
e.g. masching (Congress, Hartong) malt extract, final attenuation
Cell wall modification
e.g. friability, homogeniety, β-glucan, extract difference
Proteolytic modification
e.g. total nitrogen of malt, soluble nitrogen, kolbach index, α-amino nitrogen
Analyses of congress and hartong mash
e.g. DMS precursor, turbidity, pH, colour, viscosity
Variety indentification (Elektrophoresis)
Other analyses
e.g. roughage, gushing, moulds, toxine, EPS test (fusarium), oxalate, malting additives, thiobarbituric acid number
Group analyses of malt
e.g. standard and extended malt analysis, cytolytic and proteolytic modification, hartong analysis
DNA diagnostics
Isolation of plant DNA
e.g. cereals, malt, grist, flour, seeds, fruits, roots, leaves, seedings
Isolation of fungal DNA
e.g. pure liquid culture or agar plates, contaminted cereals and processed cereals, contamiated food and foodstuff
Molecular diagnostics plants/microorganisms
e.g. genotyping of plants and funghi, PCR analysis, development of markers for palnt breeding, indentification of cereal varieties, PCD-based indentification of beer spoilage organisms, gen charaterisation
Customised PCR strategies
e.g. design and check of PCR primers, set-up and optimisation of PCR protocols for LightCycler
