Alcohol Measurement in Beverages

From Wilks Enterprise, Inc.
 

 
Alcohol measurements tend to be either time consuming (gas chromatography) or inaccurate (ebulliometer). Infrared offers a quick and accurate method of analysis. Mid infrared (Mid-IR) offers distinct absorbance bands without the overtones found in the NIR range. Mid-IR also allow for the use of an ATR (Attenuated Total Reflection) sample stage as shown in the picture on the left. The exposed crystal makes sample presentation and cleaning quick and easy. Another consideration in small winery laboratories is size. The InfraSpec VFA-IR Spectrometer is a compact, rugged and portable solution for alcohol measurement in beverages at a fraction of the cost of an FTIR.
