Squeeze higher quality from your next vintage with SPECTRONIC^® spectrophotometers 

SPECTRONIC^® - SERVING THE WINE INDUSTRY FOR DECADES 

For over 40 years, Thermo Spectronic, has supplied the wine industry with high-quality chemical analysis equipment. 

Since the '50s, our SPECTRONIC^® 20 spectrophotometer has been a basic tool in more wine-making labs than any other spectrophotometer. Now you can get even more testing speed and versatility with the easy-to-use SPECTRONIC^® GENESYS^TM 5 or GENESYS^TM 2 split-beam spectrophotometers. 

GET BETTER WINE THROUGH BETTER QUALITY CONTROL 

SPECTRONIC^® spectrophotometers can provide you with valuable information at every step of the wine-making process. Even before the grapes are harvested, our instruments can help you improve vine quality through an analysis of soil chemistry. After harvest, our spectrophotometers can tell you:

	How to adjust the blend from different fields during crush
	What is happening to the must during fermentation
	When to stop fermentation
	How the wine is developing during the aging process
	How to blend the wine from different years, different locations, or different grape varieties
	When to bottle the wine

PUT YOUR WINE TO THE TEST 

Obtain a fast, accurate profile of your wine musts with a SPECTRONIC^® spectrophotometer. Whether you're interested in maximizing the quality of this year's vintage or ensuring high-volume uniformity, dependable test results are your guide to success. Legal requirements often dictate that you test for sulfur dioxide, sorbic acid and ethanol. However, testing can do more, it can help satisfy the palate as well. Overall quality can be increased through a variety of tests for substances such as:

• Phenols...impart flavor, color and taste     
• Lactic acid...signals the level of malo-lactic fermentation     
• Glycerol...indicates rot and mold in grapes     
• Arginine...indicates the vine's growth conditions

Other substances and other characteristics that can be measured include:

• Copper     
• Iron     
• Brightness and Hue     
• Tartaric Acid     
• Fructose     
• Glucose

The SPECTRONIC^® spectrophotometers can perform all of these tests plus many, many more.
