Indevin Lab

Here is some pictures of  the lab equipment we use at Indevin on a daily basis:

We use this machine to measure the pH and TA (Total Acidity) of the wine samples.  

This machine is used for measuring the alcohol content of the samples.

This machine is called FOSS, this wine scanning machine performs most of the tests that we do in the lab, Brix, pH, TA, RS (residual sugar), VA, etc.  It is a great way to double check the results that we get by hand and it is very easy to use.

We use this machine to check the pH and TA through Auto-Titration. 

This hand-held device is called an Anton Paar Density Meter, we use this to measure the Brix on the samples.

This is where we preform the sulfur tests, both Free Sulfur and Total Sulfur.

 

This measures the Turbidity of the wine, the test preformed is called an NTU.  This measures how clear or cloudy the wine is and gives a result from 1-1000.

 

This is where the cell counts are done.  A sample is taken after yeast is added to the wine and we count both the live and dead yeast cells.  We use methylene blue staining method to distinguish between the live and dead cells.
