Below is a partial list of the applications that we support. Please contact us (call/email) with your application specific needs and we will be happy to discuss in further detail!

CALCULATING TOTAL CARBOHYDRATES IN BEER

This method is designed to measure the total amount of carbohydrates in beer. This is conducted through the use of densitometers (DMA).

CALCULATING TOTAL SUGARS IN WINE

This method determines erythritol, fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose, and lactose in wines, malt beverages, and distilled spirits. Many alcoholic beverages contain varying amounts of sugars to enhance flavor. This is conducted through the use of our knowledge of chromatography.

CALCULATING VOLATILES IN BEER

This method can be used to identify and quantify the generation of volatile organic compounds produced through fermentation. It is designed to measure selected beer volatile compounds in finished beer samples by headspace gas chromatography–flame ionization detection. This is conducted through the use of our knowledge of chromatography with mass spec.
