Raising the standards, with every drop.

From soft drinks and juices to alcoholic beverages, safeguarding quality and consistency at every stage is essential for consumer safety and brand reputation. Thermo Fisher Scientific combines trusted culture media with an expanding PCR portfolio for manual and automated workflow – from single-target to high-throughput multiplex assays – to support everything from environmental monitoring to finished product testing.

Our complete beverage testing workflow streamlines sample collection, preparation, detection and interpretation. By accelerating results and simplifying compliance with regulatory standards, we help beverage producers identify spoilage organisms earlier, take corrective action faster and maintain the highest levels of quality assurance.
