Fermentest

• Measurement range: 0-5g/l of reducing sugars (fermentable and non fermentable)
• Sample type: Wines and musts, discolored for red wines
• Storage: Room temperature, protected from moisture
• Shelf life: 2 years after manufacturing, unopened bottle

A fixed quantity of copper sulfate mixed with alkaline salts in tablet form is added to a known quantity of diluted wine. The mixture creates a temperature increase that causes the typical reaction of reducing sugars. The results are obtained by observing the color resulting from the excess of blue copper salts and/or red copper oxide formed.

• Quick determination of the stage of alcoholic fermentation
• Analysis in less than 1 minute (except for discoloration)
• Clear results thanks to a color chart
• Practical and safe chemical analysis

The carrying case includes:

• A bottle containing 36 Fermentest reagent tablets (Ref.196101)
• A complete discoloration kit for red wines
• A WATER/WINE dropping pipette
• A pair of pliers
• A beaker, a test tube and a small brush
