Product overview

Intended use:


Quantitative determination of high molecular weight B-Glucan from barley in malt-mash and wort (EBC 4.16.3, MEBAK 3.1.4.9.2), in combination with sample extraction method EBC 4.5.1. The assay does not involve any enzyme, the reaction is a chemical / colorimetric reaction (therefore it belongs ot the product line Enzytec™ Color). Two test-kits are available for respectively 40 tests (Art. No. E3500) and 160 tests (Art. No. E3550).

Specifications:


  • Test format:
    • GlucaTest S125 (E3500) = 40 tests
    (1 x 125 ml solution A + calibrator set),
    • GlucaTest L500 (E3550) = 160 tests
    (4 x 125 ml solution A + calibrator set)

  • Sample preparation: The method for sample preparation has been described under EBC method 4.5.1 (Extract of malt: Congress mash). It is mandatory to prepare the samples according to this method if the test is used according to EBC 4.16.3.

  • Incubation time: 30 minutes

  • Validated matrices: barley in malt-mash and wort

  • Detection range: 100 - 500 mg/L B-Glucan

  • Detected analyte: B-Glucan

  • Evaluation: Colorimetric assay (550 nm)

General Information:


The determination of the B-Glucan concentration is important for the malt and beer industry. The test has been developed by the company NovaBiotec - Dr. Fechter GmbH and production has been transferred to R-Biopharm AG. The raw materials and the production procedures for the original GlucaTest® Rapid assay (NovaBiotec) and the new Enzytec Color Gluca Test kits are identical. Only the packaging has been slightly changed in order to fit to the new production facilities.

Benefits:

  • Easy: Principle of photometric test; without special sample preparation; without additional laboratory equipment.
  • Fast: Results after 30 minutes reaction time & quasi-online process control is possible.
  • Favorable: Savings compared to conventional methods of analysis.
  • Reliable: High correlation between photometric and fluorometric methods.
