Last month we had the great pleasure to present posters about our new tannin methods at ASEV with our partners, BioSystems.  Our first poster highlights an optimized multiple linear regression model that uses automated testing to predict tannin levels in wine. The research was done in labs in four countries using multiple grape varietals throughout the stages of winemaking. By combining machine learning with SPICA’s advanced analysis tools, it offers a fast and simple way to ensure consistent wine quality. Our second poster describes an alternative to tannin precipitation by Mexthylcellulose (MCP) in wine. While traditional methods take a great deal of time to prepare the reagents, our MCP kit is ready to use out of the box with an 18 month shelf life and provides fast and reliable results on the SPICA automated platform. Congratulations to Marilyn Garcia, José Morales Ariza, Leonardo Estrada Dueñas, and Andreu Tobeña Montanuy for the completion of these
