Wine Solvent Residue Testing
The presence of solvent residues in wine can significantly impact its quality and safety. Consumers expect wines to be free from harmful chemicals, which is why rigorous testing for solvent residues has become essential in the global wine industry.
In this service, we employ advanced analytical techniques tailored specifically for detecting trace levels of solvents in wine samples. Our expertise ensures accurate results that meet international standards such as ISO 15687 and ASTM E2439-10. This testing is crucial not only to ensure compliance with regulatory requirements but also to safeguard the reputation of your brand.
Our laboratory adheres strictly to best practices in sample preparation, which includes proper dilution methods to prevent interference from other components in the wine matrix. The precision and accuracy of our results are further enhanced by state-of-the-art instrumentation like Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), an indispensable tool for identifying even minute traces of solvents.
The process begins with thorough sampling, followed by detailed analysis using GC-MS to determine the presence and concentration levels of any solvent residues. Once the results are available, they are meticulously reviewed and reported according to international guidelines ensuring complete transparency and reliability.
Understanding that each client has unique needs, our service also offers customized solutions for specific requirements such as identifying particular solvents or setting custom thresholds based on specific regulatory frameworks applicable in different regions.
To provide assurance throughout the testing process, we follow stringent quality control measures at every stage. This includes regular calibration of equipment and validation of methods to ensure consistency across all tests conducted within our laboratory.
