Americas: Thermo Fisher Scientific unveils kit to facilitate isohumulone analysis in beer matrix

The Thermo Scientific Isohumulones in Beer Application Kit is designed as an ultra high-performance liquid chromatographs (UHPLC)-based solution to quantitate isohumulones, an important component of beer’s composition.

Isohumulones form approximately 80% of the typical bitternesss in beer and are crucial for good taste and aroma.

They also affect the stability of the foam and have an antimicrobial effect.

The kit is designed to overcome challenges concerning analyzing the exact pattern of the various isohumulones in the complex beer matrix.

The new kit includes the following:

• Thermo Scientific Dionex UltiMate 3000 UHPLC system;

• Thermo Scientific Dionex Chromeleon 7.2 Chromatography Data System software;

• Thermo Scientific Hypersil GOLD column;

• All consumables and parts; and

• eWorkflow templates for online solid phase extraction, data analysis and reporting.
