Sulfur dioxide is used as a preservative in wine and there are restrictions limiting the amount that can be added in most wine producing countries. This test kit is a fast and easy way to determine the amount of free sulfur dioxide in wine samples, without the need for the laborious setup associated with traditional […]
During fermentation of grape juice, yeasts require nitrogen as a nutrient, with a portion provided by primary amino acids. This test kit is suitable for measuring the Primary Amino Acid Nitrogen (PAAN) content in grape juice and non-fermenting must. The Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen (YAN) content of the juice can be determined by adding this PAAN […]
This kit has been designed to work perfectly with our new Chemwell Discrete Analysers (and Thermo’s Arena and Gallery Analysers). All the volumes are set to run out at the same time, so you won’t suffer any wastage. Malo-lactic fermentation occurs in wine when MLF bacteria convert malic acid to lactic acid. This spectrophotometric assay […]

This kit has been designed to work perfectly with our new Chemwell Discrete Analysers (and Thermo’s Arena and Gallery Analysers). All the volumes are set to run out at the same time, so you won’t suffer any wastage. As the main sugars found in grape juice and wine, glucose and fructose can be determined enzymatically […]
This kit contains six vials of varying concentrations of the main wine components analysed enzymatically. The 6 calibration solutions in the kit each contain the following compounds: D-Glucose & D-Fructose, concentrations ranging from 0g/L to 20g/L L-Malic Acid, concentrations ranging from 0g/L to 3g/L Acetic Acid, concentrations ranging from 0g/L to 2g/L
Ammonia is found in both grape juice and wine. It is an important nutrient for yeast during primary fermentation. The Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen (YAN) content of the juice can be determined by adding the Ammonia Nitrogen (AN) content to the Primary Amino Acid Nitrogen (PAAN) content. THIS PRODUCT REQUIRES THE USE OF A DISCRETE ANALYSER […]
This kit has been designed to work perfectly with our new Chemwell Discrete Analysers (and Thermo’s Arena and Gallery Analysers). All the volumes are set to run out at the same time, so you won’t suffer any wastage. Acetic acid can indicate spoilage in wine and is limited by regulation in most wine-producing countries. In […]
This is a combination of the Ammonia and Primary Amino Acid Nitrogen tests. Measuring YAN is the only way to determine the amount of available nitrogen in juice accurately prior to fermentation, allowing you to adjust your levels by adding DAP or other nutrients. THIS PRODUCT REQUIRES THE USE OF A SPECTROPHOTOMETER Please remember, our […]
Sulfur dioxide is used as a preservative in wine and there are restrictions limiting the amount that can be added in most wine producing countries. This test kit is a fast and easy way to determine the amount of total sulfur dioxide in wine samples, without the need for the laborious setup associated with traditional […]

For all wines made with added sucrose (sparkling wines, as well as table wines in those countries where chaptalisation is permitted), it is important to invert it before measuring residual sugar. This kit enables you to measure sugars easily. THIS PRODUCT REQUIRES THE USE OF A SPECTROPHOTOMETER To ensure the integrity and long life of […]
Malo-lactic fermentation occurs in wine when MLF bacteria convert malic acid to lactic acid. This spectrophotometric assay accurately determines the levels of malic acid, allowing MLF progress to be monitored and ensuring that conversion is complete. THIS PRODUCT REQUIRES THE USE OF A SPECTROPHOTOMETER To ensure the integrity and long life of this perishable product […]

Gluconic acid is a non-volatile organic acid produced in grapes when certain bacteria and mould (especially Botrytis cinerea) cause glucose to oxidise. This simple test is performed with a spectrophotometer to provide an accurate result in real units of grams per litre. THIS PRODUCT REQUIRES THE USE OF A SPECTROPHOTOMETER To ensure the integrity and […]
Citric acid may be used at the final stages of winemaking to make minor adjustments to acid levels without affecting the bi-tartrate stability of the wine. In wine, it can be determined enzymatically by monitoring a reaction that consumes NADH. The amount of NADH consumed is measured at 340 nm and is stoichiometrically related to […]
Ammonia is found in both grape juice and wine. It is an important nutrient for yeast during primary fermentation. The amount of NADH consumed is measured at 340 nm and is stoichiometrically related to the amount of ammonia present. The Yeast Available Nitrogen (YAN) content of the juice can be determined by adding the Ammonia […]
