Charm Tests for the Beer and Wine Industry
Charm offers many types of rapid diagnostic tests that can help the beer and wine industry improve food safety and quality. Charm tests will detect the amount of food residue, such as bacteria, yeast and mold that are present after cleaning. Charm’s ATP-based sanitation program provides instant assessment of the hygienic status of surfaces, water quality and environmental areas. When a filtration step is added, the same Charm ATP swab used to test CIP equipment (WaterGiene) can also be used to meet strict sensitivity requirements for testing bottled, filtered, or rinse waters.

The grape and wine industry can also take advantage of Charm’s ROSA Ochratoxin test, the only lateral flow strip to detect Ochratoxin A.

WaterGiene WaterGiene is a super-enhanced test to detect total ATP in water, which is a critical indicator of total biologic activity resulting from microorganisms, as well as plant, animal or food material. WaterGiene is the most sensitive ATP water quality test due to enhanced reagent chemistry and superior bioluminescence detection on the Charm novaLUM instrument.     WATERGIENE AT A GLANCE       WaterGiene is useful for detecting:       • ATP in Rinse Water         • ATP in Clean-in-Place (CIP) Systems         • ATP in Water Storage Tanks       • ATP on Cooling Towers (Water Economizers)       • ATP in Warmers       • ATP in Potable Water            • ATP in Post-Wastewater Treatment
