CDR CiderLab is the ideal ally to carry out process controls throughout production, it is the innovative analysis system that optimizes traditional testing methods, making them faster and easier.
CDR CiderLab is so easy to use that it can be utilized not only in a laboratory, but straight in the production plant, even by personnel with no previous specific lab tech experience.
In only few minutes, one single instrument can determine:
Cider:
Acetic acid
L-Malic Acid
Free sulfur dioxide
Total sulfur dioxide
L-Lactic Acid
Fermentable Sugars
pH
Total Acidity
Alcohol
Yeast Assimilable Nitrogen (YAN)
Glycerol
Total Polyphenols Index
How is CDR CiderLab System composed?
Instruments
CDR CiderLab Analysis System uses an analyzer based on photometric technology, available in two versions, and a dedicated kit of pipettes. The ease and reliability of the system is based on exclusive technical features:
- reading cells are equipped with state-of-the-art LED emitters;
- reading and incubation cells are thermostated at 37 ° C;
- the analyzer is supplied pre-calibrated, no further calibration or maintenance is required;
- instruments can be equipped with a printer or PC connection.
Reagent Kits
CDR CiderLab Analysis Systems use low toxicity disposable pre-vialed reagents, specifically developed by the research laboratories of CDR. The use of pre-vialed reagents and dedicated analytical procedures allows:
- a sample preparation that is quick and easy, when needed at all;
- making analytical procedures extremely fast and easy;
- removing all needs for complex calibration procedures;
- removing all needs to handle toxic or carcinogenic agents;
- making the amount of chemical waste generated only a fraction of the waste generated by standard methods.
Reagents come in packages containing 10 test tubes each, to perform 10 tests (or packages for 100 tests containing 10 single packages of 10 test tubes each).
How are tests on cider performed?
Performing chemical analyses on cider is simple and fast because sample preparation is minimal. All reagents are supplied pre-vialed and ready to use, and operators do not have to handle toxic or carcinogenic compounds; there is no need to wash either containers or traditional glassware.
With CDR CiderLab, chemical tests are performed in just a few steps and results are yielded right away:
- Select the parameter to measure from the menu: the system automatically selects the correct wavelength.
- Use the supplied pipette to add the correct volume of sample to the pre-vialed reagent, specifically developed by our laboratories. A colorimetric reaction is generated.
- Follow the displayed instructions.
The result of the test is automatically calculated, displayed and printed in just a few minutes in its unit of measure.
Save your time
To perform process controls of cider production, CDR CiderLab relies on analytical procedures and dedicated reagents specifically developed by the research laboratories of CDR that allow:
- a sample preparation that is quick and easy, when needed at all;
- making analytical procedures extremely fast and easy;
- removing all needs for complex calibration procedures
Moreover, CDR CiderLab allows accelerating analytical procedures thanks to its thermostated incubation cells and multitasking mode that allow performing several analyses at the same time on the same sample or sixteen different assays for the same parameter on a batch of different samples. All of this in an simple and fast way.
