Key features
Fast and direct determination of the alcohol content
Determining the alcohol content is important for maintaining product quality but also to meet label and legal requirements. Alcolyzer ME directly determines the alcohol content in all types of beers, wines, and spirits without the need for product distillation and is therefore the all-in-one solution for alcohol analysis. The results are in accordance with acknowledged reference methods for alcohol determination.
Product-independent adjustment
Alcolyzer provides accurate results for all samples after an adjustment with water and one binary solution only. Thanks to this unique feature adjustment, calibration, and maintenance efforts are reduced to a minimum which increases simplicity in your lab.
Full automation for the highest sample throughput
Continuously monitoring your laboratory equipment should not be something you have to worry about. This is why we offer a variety of solutions for automated measurement so that lab personnel have the time to perform other tasks. Automation helps increase your sample throughput while you can focus on more important things than sample handling. Depending on the degree of automation, also filling and cleaning of the measuring instruments are performed automatically and without any manual interaction.
Modularity to meet your requirements
Thanks to their modular setup, Anton Paar’s Alcolyzer analyzing systems are always tailored to your needs.
Choose from a wide range of optional measuring parameters such as pH, color, or turbidity, and benefit from solutions that exactly fulfill your requirements. Combine your system with an automatic sample changer for handling high sample throughput at the maximum level of automation.
