# Beverage-Focused Molecular Testing Systems bioMérieux Debuts the Groundbreaking GENE-UP® PRO HRM By Kalin Ned | Published 2025-08-07 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molecular-testing References: [bevnet](https://www.bevnet.com/pr/2025/08/06/biom%C3%A9rieux-develops-game-changing-quality-control-solution-geneup-pro-hrm)  [bioMérieux](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/biofire-spotfire), a global leader in [diagnostic solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/antimicrobial-susceptibility-testing), has introduced GENE-UP® PRO HRM, an innovative molecular testing system designed to detect heat-resistant molds in beverages and juice concentrates. Developed in collaboration with Ocean Spray Cranberries, this breakthrough technology represents a significant advancement in quality control. The GENE-UP® PRO HRM molecular testing system offers results in just 72 hours compared to the traditional 15-day waiting period required by current industry standards. The test specifically targets ascospores, the resilient reproductive structures of heat-resistant molds, to provide manufacturers with a more accurate and efficient method. This will enable them to identify spoilage risks before products reach consumers. By reducing both testing time and storage costs, the solution addresses critical operational challenges in beverage production while helping brands maintain quality assurance and consumer trust.
