Malolactic Test Kits & Machines

The Vinmetrica SC-50 MLF Analyzer gives accurate and reliable malic acid concentration levels in wine for detecting the end of malolactic fermentation (MLF). The new SC-55 Does the same job, but is now sold as a standalone unit that does not require any additional equipment.  The accuracy of the SC Series devices carries over into the functionality and reliability of the MLF Analyzer. With its easy to use vial insertion assembly, the MLF Analyzer gives you fool-proof readings down to 0.1g/L accuracy. Because it does not require any fancy, expensive lab equipment and eliminates the need for paper chromatography, the SC-55 MLF gives you professional readings while saving you time and money! Includes everything needed to measure malic acid levels in your fermenting wines: Vinmetrica SC-55 MLF Analyzer Unit Malic Reagent Set One vial of Biopressure Agent (enough for 5 tests) 5 Empty Reaction Vials with Septa Caps One plastic measuring scoop One “check” vial 10mL serological pipette Plastic beaker 15mL conical tube Two plastic pipettes MLF Analyzer Manual The Vinmetrica SC-55 MLF Analyzer measures the pressure given off by the same MLF reaction that you use in your wine. When malic acid is present, carbon dioxide (CO2) is evolved and detected as pressure.   Why buy the Vinmetrica MLF Analyzer? Accurately assesses end of MLF at 0.4 g/L malic acid. Capable of detecting 0.1 g/L malic acid Affordable: About $3 per test or less. Easy, safe to Use: No toxic chemicals or noxious odors. Fast: results in 15 – 30 minutes. Able to run multiple tests at once Please Note:  This is now a stand alone unit, and does not require any additional equipment.
