Come by Astoria-Pacific's Booth # 623 at the WIN EXPO DEC 5, 2024.  We want to discuss the idea of bringing real science back to Free Sulfite analysis in wine. Oh, yes, we also offer systems for other crucial tests.

Is your lab ready for the coming year? Are you using the best instrumentation for your wine analyses? To learn more, visit Astoria-Pacific, booth number 623, at the WIN Expo on Dec 5, 2024!

Will you be attending the ASEV Symposium in Portland this year? If so, please pop by our display. If not but know someone who is, have them stop by. Astoria-Pacific offers the rAPID-T for your common tests like Acetic Acid, Malic, Glucose+Fructose, etc. We also have a new system for Free Sulfite that will be introduced later this year.

Need a little help with your wine analyses? Astoria-Pacific offers a very affordable system for the automated analysis of Acetic Acid, Glucose+Fructose, Malic Acid, Total Sulfites, Ammonia and NOPA. We understand that trying to analyze these tests manually and/or using handheld devices start becoming impractical for many wineries as they grow ... and, truthfully, there is also significant "sticker shock" when trying to look for other automated solutions. Therefore, trust in us to provide you with the most affordable analyzer for these core tests in the wine industry. Also, benefit from driving your costs down from $4 - $7 per test to ~$0.50 - $0.70 per test via automation... Hmmm ... do you have an FT-IR but still need a way to it calibrate every year? An inexpensive rAPID-T can do that and also be that additional layer of testing when your wine nears completion. Astoria-Pacific ... yes, we're obviously trying to sell you something ... but we're also trying to he

Please visit our booth 253 at the Oregon Wine Symposium, Feb 13 - 15, this month. We can discuss various wine analyses, including our new Free Sulfite analyzer, which will be available later this year. We look forward to talking with you.

After harvesting a bumper crop, laboratories need precision in their quality control. One indispensable tool for maintaining consistency and excellence in winemaking is the use of automatic analyzers in the laboratory. Admeo’s partners at Biosystems sophisticated instruments provide real-time actionable data on key parameters, ensuring that each lot of grapes and wine meets the highest quality standards. Testing each barrel is easy with automated analysis. In this article, we'll explore how to use automatic analyzers to streamline quality control during a bumper crop.  Select the Right Analyzer  Through conversation with us about your specific winemaking needs, choose an automatic analyzer which is known for accuracy and reliability. The SPICA, Y200 and Y400 are all excellent options to consider for additions to your laboratory.  Malic&nb

In the heart of a winery, amidst the sprawling vineyards and the rhythm of the harvest season, lies a critical hub of activity—the winery laboratory. As the last tank of grapes is pressed, the role of the laboratory in quality control (QC) becomes paramount. This is where science meets art in the pursuit of crafting exceptional wines.  After the last tank of grapes is pressed in a winery, the laboratory conducts a range of tests and analyses to ensure the quality, stability, and safety of the wine. These tests are essential for fine-tuning the winemaking process and ensuring that the wine meets desired specifications. Here are some of the key tests and analyses typically performed in a winery laboratory after the final tank is pressed:  Acidity: Monitoring total acidity, including tartaric acid, malic acid, and citric acid, is crucial for assessing the wine's freshness and acidity levels.  pH Level: pH affects the wine's color, stability, and tast

The rAPID-T system is a versatile and affordable system! It allows you to monitor your enzymatic assays and Total Sulfites with NOOOOOO need to pre-treatment samples with additional reagents! Load your samples and reagents and walk away! Common tests: >Ammonia >Acetic Acid >Glucose+Fructose >L-Malic Acid >NOPA >Total Sulfite (no pretreatment of samples with reagents necessary!)

Astoria-Pacific offers affordable, reliable and dependable automated analyzers for Wine Analysis. Core applications for testing are: Acetic Acid, Glucose+Fructose, L-Malic Acid, Total Sulfite, and NOPA and Ammonia. This year, we are EXCITED to offer a new Free Sulfite module (AstoriaX-FS) that couples with our rAPID-T system--thereby creating an AMAZING platform for Free Sulfite analysis! The rAPID-XT will ELIMINATE the "guess work and unreliability" of current Free Sulfite reagent kits on the market. The rAPID-XT will offer "long sought" parity with your reference lab of choice (myEnologist, Baker Wine Lab, ETS, Vinquiry, etc.). Stop by our virtual booth, and/or zap us an email for more information. Make Wine Analysis DEPENDABLE again!
