WineScanTM SO2

Product catalog summary
Overview: The WineScan™ SO2 is a comprehensive tool designed to manage the winemaking process from grape harvesting to bottling. It offers ready-to-use calibrations for simultaneous analysis of key wine quality parameters, including SO2, ensuring cost-effective and efficient process control.
Key Features:
  • Cost Efficiency: Provides robust multi-component analysis with 42 calibrations based on a database of over 150,000 samples, offering a low cost per sample and fast return on investment.
  • Speed and Ease of Use: Allows for fast and easy measurement of free and total SO2 in just 2 minutes, enabling any lab personnel to conduct analyses efficiently.
  • Quality Assurance: The grape soundness parameter package helps segregate grapes to maintain high wine quality despite variations in grape quality.
Technical Specifications:
  • Sample Types: Suitable for grapes, must, must under fermentation, and finished wine.
  • Parameters: Includes critical quality control parameters such as SO2, using FTIR technology with phosphoric acid as a hydrolysing agent.
  • System Description: Comprises an analyser and Foss Integrator software, with options for a colour module and automatic version with XY Autosampler.
  • Analysis Time: 150 seconds, reduced to 30 seconds when SO2 application is inactive.
  • Sample Handling: Auto Sampler with various rack sizes and programmable sample volumes.
  • Environmental Requirements: Operates best on a stable surface away from vibrations, with specific temperature and humidity conditions.
Applications and Ranges: The document provides detailed ranges for various components such as absorbance, nitrogen, acids, sugars, and more, across different stages of wine production (must, must under fermentation, finished wine).
Installation and Power Requirements: Includes details on power supply, consumption, and installation requirements for optimal performance.

WineScanTM SO2-1

WineScanTM SO2 Full control of winemaking. From grape harvesting to bottling WineScan™ SO2 ensures full control of the entire winemaking process from grape harvesting to bottling. Ready-to-use calibrations allow for the simultaneous analysis of major wine quality parameters including SO2. Cost effective tool to achieve full process control With the full calibration package, WineScan SO2 gives you robust multi-component analysis, including 42 robust calibrations based on a FOSS database of more than 150.000 samples. At a low cost per sample, WineScan SO2 provides a cost effective way of performing analysis for a fast return of investment. Fast and easy SO2 measurement Fast and easy analysis of free and total SO2 in just 2 minutes allows anyone in the lab to run analysis at any time. WineScan SO2 provides robust and documented performance against three different reference methods while saving your business both time and cost. Secure wine quality The grape soundness parameter package enables you to segregate grapes for better control of your final wine quality, regardless of fluctuations in grape quality. Sample type Grapes, must, must under fermentation and finished wine Parameters Most critical quality control parameters incl. SO2 Technology FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy) interferometer that scans the full infrared spectrum. For SO2 analysis, phosphoric acid is used as a hydrolysing agent to release SO2 gas from the wine sample, that is subsequently scanned using FTIR.
