Description

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.

Terrible product.
Most complicated procedure ever and too many variables that could change results. Can I get my money back? I’ll stick to chromatography.

Malic Reagents
The reagents that come with this kit need to be stored in the freezer. However, no where does it warn you of this other than the user manual. They are shipped in a freezer pack with several ice packs. By the time I opened the box they were cool but no longer frozen. So now I have no idea if they are still good.

Good experience
I have used this for about a year now. Although the component supplies are somewhat expensive, and the written directions somewhat verbose, I have had a good experience with this kit, and prefer it to paper chromatography. The end readings are clear as to how your ML has progressed.
