Precision Liquid Handling Equipment for Food & Beverage
BRANDTECH supports laboratories with precision-engineered tools that enable accurate, reproducible results across research, production, and quality control. In the food and beverage industry, where safety, consistency, and regulatory compliance are non-negotiable, our precision liquid handling instruments help ensure every test, measurement, and sample meets exacting standards such as food quality, allergen screening, beverage analysis, and more.
From acidity titrations in wine to DNA extraction for allergen testing, BRANDTECH tools play a critical role in optimizing workflows and maintaining confidence in every drop, sample, and result. Our liquid handling equipment is trusted by labs working to meet guidelines set by the FDA and public health officials, supporting food and beverage safety at every step.
Trusted Tools for Critical Applications in Food & Beverage Labs
Pipettes and Pipette Controllers
Precision pipetting is essential in food and beverage workflows, from preparing nutrient media to performing serial dilutions during microbial and food shelf-life studies. BRAND pipettes and pipette controllers are designed for accuracy and operator comfort, enabling consistent sample handling in QA, R&D, and compliance testing. These tools are also compatible with sterile procedures required in contamination-sensitive environments such as dairy, beverage, and ready-to-eat food testing.
Bottle-Top Burettes
Our Titrette bottle-top burette is engineered for high-precision titrations required in food and beverage quality control. It supports critical testing procedures like acidity and pH titrations in wine, beer, dairy, sauces, and beverages. Class A accuracy ensures compliance with global regulatory standards, while digital volume tracking and optional data output help streamline traceability during routine analysis and audits.
Bottle-Top Dispensers
Our Dispensette S bottle-top dispensers offer safe, reproducible dispensing of acids, solvents, and reagents used in daily lab operations such as ingredient validation, pathogen detection, and chemical preservation testing. With autoclavable components and chemical resistance across a wide range of liquids, they support consistent dosing in high-throughput environments like flavor development, sensory labs, and production QA.
Volumetric Glassware
Our complete line of Class A volumetric flasks, pipettes, and graduated cylinders provide the high-accuracy measurements required for dilution-based testing, such as Brix determination, colorimetric analysis, and additive formulation. Trusted for their reliability and conformity to regulatory tolerances, they are foundational in analytical workflows throughout food and beverage R&D and regulatory labs.
Automated Liquid Handling Systems
Designed to increase consistency and throughput, the BRAND Liquid Handling Station (LHS) benchtop pipetting robot automates routine workflows such as DNA extraction, allergen detection, and ELISA setup. It is particularly valuable in high-volume testing environments like contract labs, ingredient manufacturers, and beverage producers where manual pipetting can become a bottleneck or risk variability.

Bottle-Top Aspirators
Ideal for food microbiology analysis and QA workflows, the BRAND QuikSip aspirator offers fast, tool-free aspiration of supernatants and residual liquids from culture plates, tubes, and flasks. It helps maintain aseptic technique and lab efficiency during cleanup, plate washing, and sample separation steps, which is common in microbial contamination screening and environmental monitoring.
