Alcolyzer Wine M/ME Alcohol meter for wine Direct alcohol determination, tailored to your needs Results in less than three minutes Patented method for precise results Alcolyzer Wine M/ME uses a built-in Peltier thermostat to ensure accurate and automatic control of the temperature in the shortest time. Consequently, there is no need for manual temperature adjustment and correction. Measurement with Alcolyzer Wine M/ME requires minimum sample preparation. Samples can be measured immediately after each other with one and the same adjustment. To increase your efficiency connect a plug and play Xsample 520 sample changer to automate up to 24 measurements at once. Filling and measuring takes less than three minutes per sample. Selective alcohol determination Alcolyzer Wine M/ME uses selective alcohol determination based on near infrared (NIR) spectroscopy to determine the alcohol content in a highly alcohol-specific range of the spectrum. The alcohol results based on this type of evaluation are virtually free of influences from other known wine constituents. Therefore, a simple adjustment with water and one binary solution is sufficient to cover the entire range of wine. Alcolyzer Wine M/ME utilizes an optical setup without any moving parts. The instrument consists of a near infrared LED, a sample cell, and a grating spectrometer with a detector array. The absorption information read by the detector array is used to determine the alcohol content of the sample. The determination of alcohol is common practice for manufacturers of wine, cider, and related products. Knowledge of the alcohol content is crucial for production monitoring, quality control, blending, and labelling. Alcolyzer Wine M/ME is virtually maintenance-free and can be configured to meet your needs now and in the future. Thanks to the modularity, you can choose your configuration meeting your exact requirement. Certain established methods are either time- consuming or do require experienced operators. Methods such as the combined density and refractive index method or boiling point determination tend to be inaccurate because the underlying measuring properties are non-specific to alcohol. Anton Paar developed Alcolyzer Wine M/ME to make these problems a thing of the past. Alcolyzer Wine M/ME from Anton Paar uses a NIR- based method to selectively determine the alcohol content. For this reason, the other constituents of the beverage do not influence the result and the measurement is valid for all vintages, regions, and products. Whether you measure white or red wine, sweet or dry wine – one adjustment is valid for all wine types. Compared to distillation, the acknowledged reference method for alcohol determination at present, the Alcolyzer Wine M/ME (employing an NIR method as also described in “Resolution OIV/OENO 390/2010 Appendix 1”) achieves repeatabilities of ±0.01 %v/v alcohol.
