Analyze your portfolio with a single laboratory alcohol meter
The Alcolyzer 5001 and Alcolyzer 7001 precisely determine alcohol content across a wide range of beverages – including beer, wine, spirits, RTDs, kombucha, sake, and more – without the need for product-specific calibration or reference analysis. But these digital alcohol meters also cover non-alcoholic beers and other non-alcoholic products such as wines, and spirits upon request, ensuring fast, accurate results for both traditional and low-alcohol products. With seamless operation and industry compliance, these devices guarantee efficiency, reliability, and optimal quality control for every sample.

Enhance efficiency with our direct, fast, and precise digital alcohol meters
The Alcolyzer 5001 and Alcolyzer 7001 boost efficiency with fast, precise alcohol analysis – delivering reliable results in just two minutes, without distillation. With market-leading repeatability of down to 0.01% v/v, they ensure consistent accuracy and robust performance over the long term. Designed for efficiency and durability, these devices streamline workflows, reduce downtime, and make quality control effortless.

Unlock additional parameters via density input
The Alcolyzer 5001 and Alcolyzer 7001 go beyond alcohol analysis by allowing manual input of density parameters, enabling the calculation of key values like original extract in beer, or calories in wine. This added flexibility enhances quality control, providing comprehensive insights into your beverages without additional measurements. Designed for efficiency and precision, these laboratory alcohol meters streamline analysis and support informed decision-making.

Upgrade your device for additional throughput and parameters
The laboratory alcohol meter Alcolyzer 7001 offers enhanced flexibility with upgrade options to meet evolving needs. Add color measurement at 430 nm for deeper quality insights or integrate a single or multi-sample changer to analyze up to 24 samples in one go. These upgrades streamline workflows, increase efficiency, and provide comprehensive beverage analysis with minimal effort.

Tailored for your QC
The new Alcolyzer 5001 and Alcolyzer 7001 are specifically designed for quality control – offering fast, direct, and reliable alcohol analysis. Because they handle multiple sample types with a single device, they reduce investment costs significantly, with only a small footprint. Minimal cleaning and maintenance ensure efficient, low-effort operation in daily lab routines.
