In enology laboratories, precision and consistency are essential to crafting exceptional wines and maintaining quality standards throughout the winemaking process. From analyzing acidity and sulfur dioxide levels to monitoring fermentation and ensuring microbial stability, winemakers and enologists rely on accurate testing to make informed decisions at every stage of production. BRANDTECH Scientific provides dependable liquid handling and vacuum equipment designed to support the demanding requirements of wine analysis, helping labs achieve reproducible results with confidence and efficiency.

Accurate titrations are fundamental to enology labs, where measuring acidity, SO₂, and other parameters requires reliable, repeatable results. BRANDTECH offers precision titration equipment designed specifically for the demands of wine testing.

Titrette Bottletop Burette

The Titrette bottletop burette meets Class A accuracy standards for glass burettes and has become the industry standard for wine analysis. Popular for sulfur dioxide (SO₂) analyses using the Ripper method, acid-base titrations, and measuring titratable acidity, the Titrette eliminates meniscus reading errors common with traditional glass burettes. Digital models with direct data transmission to PCs streamline record-keeping and reduce transcription errors, making documentation easier for quality control and compliance. The Titrette is suitable for use with NaOH, KOH, KI, H₂SO₄, KMnO₄, iodine, and other common reagents used in wine testing.

 

The Dispensette® S is the standard in bottletop dispensers for good reason. Its rugged construction features no seals to wear out, making it suitable for most laboratory reagents used in wine analysis. Simple to clean and calibrate, the Dispensette S includes a recirculation valve that reduces splashing and helps conserve expensive reagents. Each unit is autoclavable to 250°F (121°C) and comes with adapters for common bottle threads. An optional flexible discharge tube simplifies serial dispensing when preparing multiple samples or standards.

Available in both analog-adjustable and digital models, the Dispensette S offers volume ranges from 0.1-1 mL up to 10-100 mL, with optional fixed-volume models for frequently used volumes.
 

Replace old-fashioned pipette bulbs with modern, one-finger control. The macro Pipette Controller and accu-jet® S offer rapid or sensitive filling with fast or drop-wise dispensing capabilities. Both models fit most pipettes from 0.1 to 200 mL and feature integrated rest positions to keep pipettes clean and sterile. Enhanced comfort and precise control make these controllers ideal for delicate sample work, reducing hand fatigue during extended testing sessions.

Lightweight and ergonomically designed, the Transferpette® S features simple thumb-tip volume adjustment that works even with gloves. With the shortest stroke length among leading pipettes, it reduces hand strain during repetitive pipetting. The slim design reaches the bottom of 15 mL conicals, and the comfortable grip fits most hands comfortably. Transferpette S pipettes accept tips from most quality manufacturers and are available in single-channel models from 0.1-1 µL up to 1-10 mL, as well as 8-channel and 12-channel multichannel models for high-throughput work.

For serial dispensing tasks, the HandyStep® S provides unprecedented versatility in a mechanical repeating pipette. It has 59 different volume settings that offer accuracy, precision, and dependability across a wide range of applications. The comfortable, slim design is lightweight and well-balanced, offering easy one-handed volume selection. Unlike some repeating pipettes, the HandyStep S accepts third-party tips, providing flexibility and eliminating sole-source dependency. The tip ejection system allows tip removal without user handling, reducing contamination risk.

The ME 1 vacuum pump is a compact, high-performance solution ideal for single and multiple filtrations common in wine testing. Its small footprint conserves valuable bench space, while whisper-quiet performance and low vibration minimize background noise in the lab. PTFE diaphragms and valves offer excellent chemical resistance to withstand the solvents and reagents used in wine analysis.

With a high-performance pumping speed of 14 lpm and an ultimate vacuum of 100 mbar, the ME 1 handles filtration tasks efficiently. An optional vacuum regulation valve with a manometer is available for variable adjustment of pumping speed, providing precise control when needed for specific applications.
 

From volumetric flasks and graduated cylinders to bulb pipettes and measuring vessels, VITLAB volumetric instruments provide the accuracy that enology labs depend on. Available in both Class A borosilicate glass and durable Class B plastic, these instruments give labs chemically resistant containers that deliver precision and durability. Whether preparing calibration standards, diluting samples, or measuring reagents, BRAND glassware ensures consistent, traceable results.
