Economy Aeration-Oxidation Free SO2 Test Kit
MT140
Finally - Accurate Free SO2 Testing for Under $100!
In winemaking, Sulfur Dioxide (SO2) is one of the most important and effective tools in the winemaker's arsenal for protecting
against the effects of oxidative or microbial spoilage. Unfortunately, over time any SO2 added to a wine will be consumed due to its
interaction with the very things that it is protecting the wine from. The ability to accurately monitor the amount of SO2 remaining available in a
wine to protect it - termed Free SO2 - is hugely important when it comes to ensuring that the wine makes it through
the aging process safely.
For years MoreWine! has offered a variety of methods for testing the level of Free SO2 in a wine. Until now,
winemakers had to make a choice between inexpensive test kits which lacked accuracy and kits which are highly accurate but cost hundreds of
dollars. Now MoreWine! has developed an inexpensive AND accurate test kit which we feel has a place in every
home winery.
Based on the exact same science as our original Aeration-Oxidation test kit, our new Economy Aeration-Oxidation kit offers a high degree of
accuracy for a fraction of the price. Aeration-Oxidation is the exact same testing method used in thousands of commercial wineries and wine
analysis laboratories around the world. It is time-tested and proven accurate and is simple to perform. Our kit includes:
- All the glassware and tubing needed to set up a 2-chamber test apparatus
- Pipettes to accurately measure your wine sample and chemicals
- An aspiration pump to drive the chemical reaction in the test method
- Enough chemical reagents to run 2-3 tests
- Clear and comprehensive instructions for setting up and running the system
PLEASE NOTE: This kit ships with a small bottle of 25% phosphoric acid which is required for the test.
At this strength phosphoric acid is considered a hazardous material and we are not certified to ship larger quantities. We recommend that you
investigate the possibility of sourcing it locally, through a laboratory supply company. If this is not possible, you can purchase it through us; see
part #s MT108DS & MT108BDS. The high cost of these bottles reflects the $20 surcharge
which UPS adds to handle a hazardous shipment. These bottles ship directly from our supplier's warehouse and will take a couple of extra days to
arrive.
