The 2026 Unified Wine and Grape Symposium in Sacramento earlier this year was a great success for R-Biopharm! We connected with so many of our colleagues from nearly thirty years of being in Wine Production Technical Support, a thriving diaspora of so much talent and expertise. And we made some amazing new connections where we could offer support and solutions for Winery Labs and businesses that support Wine Production. 

So what were the Top Three R-Biopharm Products that were most discussed?

#1 The RIDA®CUBE Scan - small, precise, single sample, semi-automated enzymatic test system for the following wine components: L-Malic Acid, Acetic Acid, Glucose/Fructose, FSO2, TSO2 and Ammonia.

#2 NoLo EtOH Testing - our Enzytec™ Liquid Ethanol kits are specially developed for NoLo EtOH beverages, and AOAC-OMA 2017.07 Final Action, Official recommended Codex method. 

#3 qPCR for Wine Spoilage Microorganisms -  test with specificity for up to 14 wine spoilage yeast and bacteria. Bringing this analysis in-house can save $$ and with a two-hour test time get same day results.

With ready-to-use test cartridges for single testing and precise results available in 10 minutes, the RIDA®CUBE Scan enzymatic analyzer has many uses in winemaking operations of any scale. Pre-filled cartridges require only one pipetting step, kits come with a prepared calibration card, and few moving parts makes the RIDA®CUBE Scan virtually maintenance-free.

• Test individual barrels for creeping VA before blending, monitor maturing un-SO2ed wines barrel-to-barrel, or verify progress when de-VAing with pre-filled cartridges containing AOAC-OMA 2024.01 First Action Enzytec™ Liquid
• Test final de-alcoholized solution EtOH with pre-filled cartridges containing AOAC-OMA 2017.07 Final Action Enzytec™ Liquid
• Eliminate running back and forth to the main lab, and/or waiting for an extended time to check FSO2 before returning your blend back to barrel
• Take the totally portable RIDA®CUBE Scan with you if you need on-time, precise analysis at multiple sites, especially when confirming primary fermentation completion via Glu/Fru, and secondary fermentation via Malic Acid
• Ammonia, TSO2, Lactic Acid and Citric Acid also available!

The included smart phone tablet comes pre-loaded with IFU's for all kits, as well as the RIDA®CUBE Instruction Manual.

With the popularity of No/Lo Alcohol products gaining even more traction in 2026, why leave compliance as an afterthought when analyzing in-process and final products? 

R-Biopharm's Enzytec™ Liquid Ethanol enzymatic kit is recognized as an AOAC Official Method of Analysis (Official Method SM 2017.07) specifically for ethanol in kombucha, juices and alcohol-free beer and wine. Our enzymatic kits are available for manual testing, fully automated labs, or even with our RIDA® Cube Scan, a semi-automated single-cartridge analyzer. The reagents are all liquid and ready-to-use, easy to use, stable and safe, which brings a huge improvement in the lab organization. 

In small laboratories or at de-alcoholizing facilities, it is possible to test a few samples and store the reagents for further usage, since the original shelf-life remains valid. In large laboratories with automation, the reagents can be placed directly on ANY biochemistry analyzer (i.e., Gallery or Gallery Plus), and stay refrigerated on board for true random-access.

Enzytec™ Liquid from R-Biopharm® offers a versatile and cost effective testing solution for wine quality using enzymatic test kits in analyzing juice, must and wine. Our enzymatic test kits can be run on existing automation for larger labs, and manually for smaller or satellite labs without automation. Don't have a spectrophotometer? No problem! There are single beam, single wavelength cuvette photometers perfectly suitable for single testing - just connect to your laptop! We also offer the RIDA®CUBE Scan: Ideal for settings without a lab, RIDA®CUBE kits require just one pipetting step and results are in 15 minutes. Enzytec™ Liquid Enzymes are stable, ready-to-use, and different kits are recognized as AOAC-Official Methods of Analysis (AOAC-OMA) and recommended by the Codex Alimentarius Method (Type IV).

At R-Biopharm, we firmly believe that gold standards can be improved. We see the introduction and continuous extension of our Enzytec™ Liquid product line as the next generation of enzymatic analysis: Established quality and reliability of results of enzymatic tests combined with increased user-friendliness and simultaneous cost reduction!

Enzytec™ Liquid test kits are adaptable to manual testing, and where automation already exists the reagents can be used directly in the analyzers. Enzymatic parameters cover the determination of sugars (i.e., glucose/fructose), organic acids (i.e., malic, tartartic, acetic), acetaldehyde, ammonia, anthocyanins, potassium, free SO2 and total SO2, no/low EtOH, and others. 

Enzytec™ Liquid reagents have superior stability, are liquid and ready-to-use, simple in sample preparation, no interference (not affected by matix effect) and non-toxic. Specific and accurate results are based on the specificity of a particular enzyme for an analyte and the absorbance of the coenzyme at 340nm. The results are measured by means of a photometer.
