Chemical analysis of beer: CDR BeerLab

The solution for chemical analysis in breweries

CDR BEERLAB

Chemical analysis of beer

With the CDR BeerLab analysis system, it is possible to carry out an extensive panel of beer and water analyses with just one instrument, more quickly and simply than is possible with traditional methods; and all of this independently, without having to use external laboratories.

With CDR BeerLab analysis systems it is possible to constantly monitor the production process, obtaining specific and precise answers within minutes.

he correlation with reference methods guarantees reliable results.

Strumentazione per analisi chimica della birra

To analyse beer, wort and water during brewing, CDR BeerLab uses analytical procedures and reagents for the specific application, developed by CDR laboratories, which

  • make sample preparation very quick and easy
  • make analytical methods very quick and simple
  • eliminate the need for complex calibration procedures.

In addition, CDR BeerLab makes it possible to shorten the analytical procedures for quality control during brewing thanks to

  • the thermostated incubation cells
  • the multitasking function,

These features make it possible to perform several analyses on the same sample at the same time or to perform 16 determinations of the same parameter, in battery, on different samples quickly and easily.
