The instrument is based on a state-of-the-art optical system which guarantees accurate results, assures long term stability, and minimizes stray light and color interferences. It also compensates for variations in intensity of the lamp, although proper calibration ensures measurements are fully validated, comparable, and in compliance with regulatory requirements. The 25 mm round cuvettes composed of special optical glass guarantee the repeatability of turbidity measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures at-a-glance\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAMCO AEPA-1 Primary Turbidity Standard\u003c\/strong\u003e - The AMCO AEPA-1 supplied standards are recognized as a primary standard by the USEPA.

Fast Tracker™ allows winemakers to record the time and location of a specific measurement or series of measurements using iButton™ tags on specific tanks for quick and easy readings. Each iButton® tag contains a computer chip with a unique identication code encased in stainless steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGLP Data\u003c\/strong\u003e – The HI83749 features complete GLP (Good Laboratory Practice) functions that allow traceability of the calibration conditions.

The unrefined wine is treated with fining agents to reduce cloudiness. This cloudiness is what winemakers refer to as protein haze, or haze for short. Thaumatin-like proteins (TLPs) and chitinases are the primary grape proteins responsible for haze formation. These positively charged proteins degenerate and stick together, resulting in undesirable flocculent clouds and visible haziness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe prevention of protein haze or deposit in bottled white wines is a universal concern and often a wine needs to be stabilized before bottling. One commonly used stabilization agent is bentonite. Bentonite is a volcanic clay earth type fining agent (like kaolin). It improves the clarity and stability of wine but has also negative aspects because of the volume of lees formed, reduction of tannin and color. Since there are different types and qualities of bentonite with different capacity of protein removal, it is important to make laboratory trials with the same lot and wetting degree of the bentonite as that will be used in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProtein stabilization is normally not a problem in bottled red wines because of the relatively high concentration of phenols that binds and precipitates with the unstable proteins before bottling. Often bentonite is added to red wines at a level of about 12 g\/hL (1 lb\/1000 gal), reducing colloidal suspended particles thus improving membrane filterability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWines with low phenols contents, such as rose, light reds and whites should be checked for protein stability before bottling. Hanna offers a rapid test to verify the risk of future protein haze formation. If protein instability is detected, a next test can help defining the right amount of bentonite to be added for improving protein stability. It is important not to overdose bentonite, avoiding stripping wine flavour, body, and significant loss of color, especially in young red wines. Moreover, adding only the necessary amount of bentonite to obtain the desired protein stability results in a reduction of costs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWinemakers can determine the initial turbidity of the unrefined wine with the HI83749. After taking a turbidity reading the pre-made HI83749-20 Bentocheck Solution is added to the wine sample. A second turbidity measurement is taken. If the second turbidity reading is less than the initial turbidity reading plus 2 NTU, the wine can be considered stable. Otherwise a fining trial can be performed to determine the amount of bentonite that must be added to stabilize the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003ePrincipal of Operation\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo measure turbidity the HI83749 passes a light beam through the sample that is scattered in all directions. The intensity and pattern of the scattered light is affected by many variables, such as wavelength of the incident light, particle size and shape, refractive index, and color. The optical system of the HI83749 includes a tungsten filament lamp, a scattered light detector (90°) and a transmitted light detector (180°).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HI83749 features a powerful microprocessor that calculates the NTU value from the signals that reach the two detectors. An effective algorithm is used to correct and compensate for any color interferneces. The optical system and measuring technique also compensate for fluctuations in lamp intensity, minimizing the need for frequent calibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; align-items: center; justify-content: center; gap: 24px 48px; margin: 0 0 48px; flex-direction: row-reverse;\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 260px; max-width: 440px; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1086\/9535\/5761\/files\/HI98703_5reagents.jpg\" alt=\"reagents\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"display: block; max-width: 100%; height: auto; margin: 0 auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"flex: 1 1 340px; min-width: 0;\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe HI83749-11 AMCO AEPA-1 standards ensure that measurements are traceable to primary reference materials.
