Monitoring of Fermentation Processes by Means of Impedance Flow Cytometry

Although being one of the oldest fermentation processes, optimizations in beer brewing are still possible. Yeast plays the key role in beer brewing, influencing flavor and obtaining high and reproducible quality. Yeast management is the key driver for high quality and fermentation efficiency. Amphasys’ technology optimizes the process by monitoring yeast viability and concentration, ensuring consistent quality and efficient reuse across fermentation cycles.

Presented by Amphasys AG

The organization was perfect, and the atmosphere very friendly and relaxed. The talks were very interesting and stimulating, as I learned a lot and it made me think of different things which I would like to try with Amphasys’ technology.

The Amphacademy was really great and we got some very good information and contacts, so it was a complete success! I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the format is successful and continues to grow. And of course also that more people from the bioprocessing sector get to know IFC technology because it is a really brilliant technology.
