Results that just keep on flowing

Smart instrument adjusts itself for wear at regular intervals, avoiding need to interrupt operations for maintenance procedures.

 

The high throughput flow system and autosampler get more tests done in less time. You can get free and total SO2 in two minutes – 30 seconds faster than with earlier WineScan SO2 tests.

More time for winemaking

WineScan™ 3 makes owning and running a wine analysis solution simple and worry-free. Every test result is based on 40 subsamples to capture data from a larger sample volume compared to earlier solutions.

 

A more representative result is obtained, which avoids the need for replicate measurements to confirm the validity of results for the sample in question. Further, the instrument is smart-enabled to provide a close level of support while ensuring that valuable analysis data is always safe, traceable and easy to access and share.
