Yeast 101 for Fuel Ethanol Production

Yeast management is critical to the efficient production of fuel ethanol. Healthy yeast produce up to 33 times more ethanol than stressed cells. Effective management comes from  understanding healthy yeast.

Knowledge Means Efficiency

The best way to maximize production output and efficiency in fuel ethanol plants is to accurately measure and track yeast activity during the fermentation process. The GenPrime Yeast Activity Monitor does just that.

The GenPrime Yeast Activity Monitor
is the Answer

The GenPrime Yeast Activity Monitor is faster, more accurate and less labor intensive than traditional methods of yeast management. Plus, the GenPrime Yeast Activity Monitor measures yeast vitality, providing a direct measurement of fermentation performance. This knowledge enables technicians to adjust factors during fermentation to obtain peak performance, resulting in more efficient production.

Cutting Edge Science

The GenPrime Yeast Activity Monitor works by introducing a dye molecule into a yeast sample. Healthy cells metabolize the dye, which produces a fluorescent signal. This fluorescence is measured by a handheld reader and the digital values are used to track yeast activity throughout the propagation and fermentation processes.

The GenPrime Yeast Activity Monitor is a fast, affordable analysis tool which uses proven technology to give you a powerful edge in fuel ethanol production.

You Don't Have to Be a Microbiologist

Using the GenPrime Yeast Activity Monitor requires very little skill. In fact, training can be accomplished in less than an hour and each test can be conducted in less than 10 minutes. Its compact size means that the monitor will fit practically anywhere and the rugged design ensures it will be equally at home in the lab or an industrial setting.

Your Primary Source for Microbial Analysis

GenPrime is a worldwide leader in the development of revolutionary microbial analysis tools.

Fuel ethanol production is a vital industry that demands cutting-edge equipment to deliver fast, accurate yeast analysis at an affordable price. The GenPrime Yeast Activity Monitor meets these needs.
