VERIFLOW® brewPAL TOUTED AS A GAME-CHANGER; KEY INDUSTRY PARTNERSHIPS FOLLOW
| Philadelphia, PA (January 20, 2015) – Invisible Sentinel, Inc., a global molecular solutions company providing first-in-class detection tools to advance quality processes, announces initiation of the final validation phase of Veriflow® brewPAL, which follows the successful development of this groundbreaking product for the brewing industry. Developed in conjunction with Victory Brewing Company, Veriflow® brewPAL is the first product that provides same-day detection for the presence of Pediococcus and Lactobacillus species throughout the brewing process. This novel technology provides onsite detection and quantification of these microbes and reduces time-to-results from several days to less than three hours. Timely detection using Veriflow® brewPAL can prevent spoilage, preserve integrity and transform brewing quality control processes from reactive to preventive. “We think this product will change the entire landscape, impacting the way brewers make informed decisions about their most coveted asset – the beer,” said Adam Bartles, Victory’s Director of Brewery Operations, following on-site validation at Victory’s state-of-the-art Parkesburg facility. Invisible Sentinel and Victory are also excited to announce the addition of four new partners to complete the validation phase: Yards Brewing Company (Philadelphia, PA), Weyerbacher Brewing Company (Easton, PA), Russian River Brewing Company (Santa Rosa, CA), and Kettlehouse Brewing Company (Missoula, MT). These award-winning breweries offer popular selections of craft beers, such as Yards Philly Pale Ale, Weyerbacher’s Merry Monks, Russian River’s Pliny the Younger, and Kettlehouse’s Cold Smoke Scotch Ale. This diverse group is focused on next generation technology solutions to support business growth and protect the quality of their brands. “We are thrilled to be working with these esteemed craft breweries,” said Nick Siciliano, Invisible Sentinel’s Chief Executive Officer. “Their collective insight regarding the implementation of Veriflow® brewPAL at their respective facilities will verify the utility and value of our technology.” Veriflow® brewPAL is ultra-sensitive and user-friendly, allowing brewers to cost effectively protect the quality of their products. “The test protocol was even easier than we imagined and, as we grow, this is going to be a crucial part of maintaining the integrity of our brews,” said Zach Miller, Victory’s Quality Assurance Technician. “The feedback from Victory has been overwhelmingly positive, and we look forward to successful implementation at our new partners’ breweries,” Siciliano added. “We anticipate a global commercial launch of Veriflow® brewPAL in early spring.” |
