Discrete Analyzer for Wine Applications

Rapid wine analysis

The list of necessary parameters for the oenologist to make the critical decision are very long, can involve a lot of time and equipment’s. Wet chemical methods involve the use of various instruments such as pH meter, auto titrator, spectrophotometer, segmented flow analyzers, chromatographic techniques like HPLC, Ion Chromatography and GC. Highly skilled labors with specialization in chemistry and instrumentation is necessary to perform sample handling, calibration, troubleshooting and carrying out routine maintenance with these sophisticated instruments. Maintaining staff knowledgeable enough to run those instruments is unrealistic, in wineries and wine testing labs.

For wineries it is important to maintain their brand signature, product quality, expand their customer base and increase profitability through well-established in-house quality control, however they encounter unique and challenges. Wineries needs a reliable analytical instrumentation for multiparameter analysis, that enables lab personal without technical or chemistry knowledge to carry out the routine wine analysis.

Consolidated multiparameter discrete analysis now offers a solution to these difficulties. Thermo Scientific Gallery Integrated discrete analyzer, together with ready to use enzymatic reagents enable the walkaway productivity from juice to wine bottling testing.

 
 
 
Recommended products

Multiparameter wine analysis with discrete analyzer technology ensures high product quality and throughput, while reducing cost, waste and hands-on sample time. Gallery discrete analyzers assure fast, reliable and repeatable results by utilizing specific enzyme reactions, and robust robotics to streamline laboratory analysis during critical times of the year, like harvest. Thermo Scientific Gallery discrete analyzer with ready to use system reagents are optimized for speed, flexibility, and precision for juice and wine analysis, that enables the oenologists to improve the quality control through consolidated testing.

Gallery discrete analyzers

The Thermo Scientific Gallery Discrete Analyzer provides an integrated platform for photometric and electrochemical analyses, which can be run in parallel. Discrete cell technology allows for simultaneous measurement of several different tests for the same sample, eliminating method changeover time. Each individual reaction cell is isolated and temperature-stabilized, thus providing highly controlled reaction conditions. The Gallery discrete analyzer can achieve very low detection levels, and its sophisticated dilution features help to manage a wide concentration range without user intervention. Results are ready within minutes, translating into a remarkable reduction of hands-on time. The wavelength range covers filter configurations from 340 nm up to 880 nm. An optional, integrated Electro Chemical Measurement (ECM) unit supports conductivity and pH measurements over a wide range.

While traditional analysis requires multiple wet chemistry methods and, therefore, multiple samples, the Gallery discrete analyzer consumes a maximum of 300 μL of sample per test, can test for up to 20 parameters per sample, and runs up to 200 tests per hour. As a result, the cost per analysis is 10 to 20 times less than traditional wet chemistry methods. Since pH plays a critical role in wine making, measurements are taken throughout the winemaking process, from juice to finished wine. Gallery analyzers with optional electrochemistry unit (ECM) can measure up to 67 samples per hour for pH parallelly with other photometric tests.
