Do more analysis with less OenoFoss™ is a compact, simple-to-use analytical solution that measures multiple parameters of grape must, must under fermentation or wine in just two minutes. It replaces various time-consuming analysis solutions with a single test performed on the spot. Because it is so quick and simple to perform tests, you’ll find that you can do more analysis, more frequently giving you valuable objective information to support your decisions. Grape maturity and segregation A few drops of must juice is enough to analyze grape samples with Oenofoss. The parameter list includes organic...

Purpose built FTIR unit for reliable wine analysis operations Built on the well proven Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) technology behind the world’s most widely used routine wine analyser – WineScan™- the Oenofoss analyser provides a solid platform for wine analysis. The principle of FTIR technology is to scan a must or wine sample in the full mid-infrared spectrum. Light is absorbed in the sample according to the appearance of wine constituents such as sugars and acids. The absorption is converted through the Fourier transform mathematical model to a prediction of the concentration of various...

OenoFoss™ Brochure-4

Unlike other FTIR units, Oenofoss has an open cuvette system which allows very small samples volumes to be applied. This is a significant advantage when making exclusive wines. The open cuvette design also makes it very simple to use an Oenofoss. All it requires is the ability to use a pipette, to place the sample into the cuvette and push start. Oenofoss takes care of the rest and presents the results in two minutes. Results are automatically stored on a PC and history views display developments over time. You also have the option to customize your software settings in order to reflect your operations...
