Food & Beverage Analysis
Rapid, high-precision alcohol measurement made easy
Making great alcoholic beverages necessitates the measurement of factors such as Brix and alcohol content at multiple stages of production. KEM’s ALM-155 Alcohol Meter is an oscillation-type density meter designed with the high-precision measurement capability that alcoholic beverage quality management demands.
Traditionally, alcohol measurement relied on the use of a hydrometer that works by measuring the specific gravity of a sample based on its buoyancy. Accurate measurement using a hydrometer requires a large volume of distilled sample (100-200mL), strict control of sample temperature, and an experienced user. The ALM-155 only requires 10mL of distilled sample, and with a precision heat adjustment function, alcohol content analysis is a cinch regardless of user experience.
What’s more, it measures sugar content (Brix), perfect for malt, wine must/grape juice, and other samples. Fermentation management and quality management from base ingredients to finished product samples are all supported by the ALM-155.
Operation is easy, just press the pump button to sample, then the measurement button to automatically measure alcohol content, Brix, and more. After measurement, press pump again to drain and sample pure water to clean the measurement cell. Measurement can be performed at any time, by anyone, taking mere seconds to deliver high-precision results that blow hydrometers out of the water! Trust KEM to create alcohol measurement solutions for you.

Analysis of mercury, arsenic, and aelenium in environmental and food samples
PS Analytical (PSA) is a trusted provider of niche analytical instruments designed for the precise determination of mercury, arsenic, selenium, antimony, and bismuth in various sample matrices, including environmental and food & beverage samples.
The presence of toxic metals in different forms raises significant concerns, necessitating the analysis of both total and speciated chemical forms. This requirement poses analytical challenges such as sensitivity, selectivity, and interference elimination.
PSA understands that operational aspects such as ease of use, reliability, robustness, and cost-effectiveness are equally vital. These attributes are at the core of the PSA brand, ensuring customer satisfaction.
Leveraging over 35 years of expertise, PSA specialises in coupling Atomic Fluorescence Spectroscopy (AFS) with cold vapour generation or hydride generation. Moreover, the company’s analyte separation capability enables speciation studies, providing powerful tools to address various analytical needs.
PSA can separate methyl mercury from inorganic mercury in water, shellfish, seaweed, dairy products, vegetables, and grains, as well as determine inorganic arsenic from less toxic organo arsenic species in water, rice, seaweed, and more.
A dedicated team continuously develops innovative methods and applications to tackle emerging market concerns. If you have a sample you’d like to know more about, PSA encourage you to get in touch.
With thousands of PSA systems successfully deployed in the field and strong support networks in Europe, USA, and SE Asia, the company offers a comprehensive package of performance, reliability, and support. More information online:

The automated lab for the beverage industry
Anton Paar proudly presents the ALAB 5000 Series, the automated lab for the beverage industry. The ALAB 5000 Series offers real-time, at-line measurement of final QC parameters, and eliminates manual sample preparation. Fully automated, 24/7 operation means no downtime and maximum productivity. With the integrated Anton Paar instruments for packaged beverages, the ALAB 5000 Series can handle a variety of package sizes and sample types, including all non- pulp containing beverages like beer, sake and water.
The ALAB 5000 Analytic can analyse bulk and retail packaged beverages for the most important physical and chemical parameters with integrated Anton Paar instruments like the TPO 5000, the DMA 5001, and the Carbo QC ME, as well as with colour and pH – and many other – options. The ALAB 5000 Torque measures the opening torque of twist-off caps and crowns for bottles. Both the ALAB 5000 Analytic and ALAB 5000 Torque can be integrated into new or existing filling lines, or used as stand-alone solutions. Working with one company for a complete measuring system means instruments and systems are seamlessly compatible.
The ALAB 5000 Series is designed for the production environment with a temperature-controlled cabinet for all Anton Paar instruments. Automation means 24/7 operation and boosted productivity. It also reduces human error in sample preparation and instrument cleaning, improving the precision and consistency of laboratory processes for consistently high-quality results. This ensures unparalleled reproducibility. Moreover, automation handles repetitive tasks and the transfer of measurement results, enhancing traceability. Importantly, automation enhances cost efficiency by optimising resource use and minimising manual labour, allowing lab technicians to concentrate on more critical tasks. These efficiencies translate into significant cost and time savings, facilitating a swift return on investment.
