• Complete kit
• Extremely high sensitivity - 2,4 fold increase over Ceralpha (K-CERA). Its use allows a distinction between sprouted grains and healthy grains.
• Can also be used in silos and is a practical and reliable alternative to the Hagberg drop time method.
• Stable reagent (minimum 2 years)
• Quick and reproducible result
• Suitable in manual and auto-analyser formats
• Spreadsheet available
• Control included

• Sprout damaged wheat grain (also known as pre-harvest sprouting or weather damaged wheat grain) and “late maturity α-amylase” wheat grain
• Confectionery, soft drinks, brewing and fermentation, jams, sauces, conserves, ice cream and baby food
