Most Advanced Automated Wine Analyser
The SPICA automated wine analyser is an innovative new modular system, connected and intelligent, it is set to revolutionize the automatic analytical platforms of the wine industry. Able to configure and adapt to different analytical needs it can operate with any device such as a PC, tablet or smartphone, uploading and managing data in the cloud. Incorporating the latest mechanical technology and offering robustness, repeatability and excellent accuracy, the improved autonomy and efficiency combine to make an optimized and user-friendly tool.
Dedicated Reagents
Reagents are adapted and dedicated to the analyser, avoiding manual liquid handling. Some methods are included in the compendium of analytical methods of the OIV (international Organization of the Vine and Wine) or have been subjected to comparative studies with the official or conventional methods.
Advanced Automation
The SPICA automated wine analysis system improves upon previous experiences with a reimagined user interface focusing on accessibility and ease. The incorporation of an internal computer and cloud-based platform allows users to run the SPICA from any computer or smart device. Being connected through the Cloud means the analyser no longer connects to software or transfers data to a separate program. The built-in application allows for seamless updates and improvements, along with more efficient access to remote support.
