Product Description

The Vinmetrica SC-300 SO2 & pH/TA Analyzer Kit

The SC-300 analyzer gives accurate SO2, pH and TA values. Kit includes everything to perform about 50 sulfite tests and 30 TA tests: both electrodes, all reagents, pipettes, syringe and beaker. The International version includes a more concentrated acid solution. We are restricted to sending 30 mL of acid (approximately 1 fluid ounce) internationally by air. We send a slightly more concentrated (6N HCl) acid solution used in the SO2 test that can be diluted with distilled water upon receipt.

Note:

The Acid solution is more concentrated for our International Customers because it is treated as a Hazardous Material (it is possible to ship with the acid solution to Canada but it is an extra US$ 30 customs brokerage fee). We instead substitute the acid solution with a more concentrated HCl to approximately 3 times its strength (6N HCl instead of the regular 2N HCl). We provide instructions for diluting the acid to its normal strength. We also have distributors in Europe and in Canada. Contact us, our contact information is below, and we will help you find a distributor closer to you.

The Ultimate Winemaker’s Companion.

One lean, mean wine analyzing machine. The SC-300 combines the SO₂ detection of the SC-100 and the pH/TA analysis of the SC-200 into one power-packed instrument.

It’s built on the same hardware and software as our other two analyzers, so the accuracy is superb. And it’s just as easy to use – The audible buzzer and visual stop light will automatically let you know when you’re tests are done!

Because it does not rely on a color change, the SC-300 eliminates the guesswork in Ripper sulfite tests, especially in red wines!

Complete Wine Testing Kit – Includes Everything Needed to Analyze Sulfite (SO₂), pH and TA (Titratable Acidity) levels in Your Wines & Musts:

SO₂ reagents (no acid)
pH/TA reagents
Two titration beakers
Two 5 mL syringes
Two transfer pipettes

a SO₂ electrode
a pH electrode
25 mL sampling pipette (for SO₂)
5 mL sampling pipette (for pH/TA)
The SC-300 Operating Manual

No magnetic stir bar, magnetic stirrer or burette is necessary but if you have these you can use them. Use of a Class A 10 mL glass burette can increase accuracy and resolution of the SO2 and TA titration. Can be secured with a double burette clamp attached to a laboratory support stand.

A Quick Overview – Wine Analysis Procedures with the SC-300:

Easy SO₂ Test

1. Attach SO2 electrode, press the power button, change to SO2 mode and press enter.
2. Draw up 5 mL of titrant into the syringe and place 25 mL of wine in beaker.
3. Add ~2 mL of the acidifier and ~2 mL of the reactant to wine.
4. Place and hold the SO2 electrode in the wine sample and swirl beaker.
5. Add titrant from syringe dropwise until 15 second long endpoint signal reached.
6. Multiply the titration volume by 20, the SO2 conversion factor, results in ppm Free SO2.

Simple pH Test

1. Attach the pH electrode, set aside storage solution, rinse with DI water and blot gently with a paper towel.
2. Press the power button then press the ‘Mode’ button and switch the SC-300 into ‘Cal’ mode.
3. Calibrate using the pH 4 and pH 7 reference standards provided. Put the SC-300 in pH mode.
4. Take 5 mL sample of wine, place in a beaker. Take a pH reading.

Accurate TA Test

1. For the TA test, withdraw 5 mL of the TA Titrant with the syringe.
2. Take 5 mL wine sample and add ~15 mL of deionized water.
3. Put the SC-300 into TA mode, place clean pH electrode gently in solution.
4. Add TA Titrant from the syringe dropwise until the endpoint is reached indicated
with the visual and audible signals. Record the volume (in mL) of titrant used.
5. Multiply the titration volume by 2, the TA conversion factor,
results in g/L Tartaric Acid.

Simple as that!

Why Choose Vinmetrica’s SC-300?

Where else will you find a single, compact instrument that can measure sulfite (SO₂), pH and TA (Titratable Acidity) levels throughout the fermentation and aging process? Even in Red Wines!

- It’s Accurate:

SO₂: ± 2 ppm Free SO₂.
TA: ±0.2 g/L Tartaric acid
pH: better than ± 0.02 pH units

- Quick! – Less than 2 minutes per test!

- Affordable – About a $1 per test!*

- Easy to use – No mystery solutions, pumps or tubing.

* SO2 (Sulfite) Tests cost approximately 75¢ / Test (the cost of the reagents per test). If you do a combined pH and TA analysis, the cost of reagents for the pH/TA test is approximately $1.12 / Test.
