Invisible Sentinel's Test for Wine-Spoilage Microbe to be Distributed by Enartis in Multiple Markets Globally
Philadelphia, Pa. (PRWEB) September 22, 2014 -- Invisible Sentinel Inc., a life-sciences company that develops rapid diagnostics for the food and beverage industries, announced today that its first-in-class Veriflow® BRETT assay will be distributed under a non-exclusive agreement by Enartis, a global provider of specialty winemaking products and services.
Enartis, an Esseco Group company headquartered in Trecate, Italy, will distribute Veriflow® BRETT to winemakers in California and other global markets for their own in-winery use in quality-assurance testing. The assay detects and measures levels of Brettanomyces bruxellensis in wine.
Additionally, Enartis’ Windsor, CA based US subsidiary, Enartis Vinquiry, has adopted Veriflow® BRETT for use in its Central Coast laboratories as they provide testing services to winemakers in the region. The decision by Enartis Vinquiry to adopt Veriflow® BRETT follows its own validation studies of the assay.
Nick Siciliano, Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Invisible Sentinel, commented:
“Invisible Sentinel continues to expand its market reach in North America and beyond. We are especially pleased to be working with Enartis International and Enartis Vinquiry, which have established a strong reputation for helping winemakers maintain consistently high production standards.”
Samuele Benelli, International Business Director of Enartis, added: “Veriflow® BRETT offers rapid and convenient testing for microbial levels that need to be carefully monitored. Veriflow® BRETT perfectly fits in our offer to diagnose, prevent and cure Brettanomyces in wine, especially after our global launch of EnartisStab Micro, a specialty CODEX product that eliminates this spoilage yeast and its effects. Our agreement with Invisible Sentinel is another example of our commitment to providing winemakers with specialty products and services that are state of the art.”
Enartis and Enartis Vinquiry are part of the Esseco Group Srl, Trecate, Italy, which manufactures high-quality sulfur-based chemicals and provides specialty products and services to the wine-making industry.
Veriflow® assays are also available directly from Invisible Sentinel. For ordering information or quotations, please email [email protected] or call the Invisible Sentinel customer-service team at 215-966-6118.
