Horiba Medical has placed the first ABX Pentra 400 bench-top chemistry analyser into the Bulmers Cider Mill in Hereford.
This fully automated analyser is providing reliable, efficient and cost-effective sugar-content testing at the site.
Such sugar testing is critical to ensuring conformity and consistency of Bulmers's final cider product and saves significant sums of money.
The Bulmers site at Hereford routinely tests the sugar and tannin levels of its cider, apples and glucose syrups to control the quality of the end product and assure the quality of the ingredients.
The ABX Pentra 400 provides Bulmers with an optimal test repertoire of maltose, glucose, fructose, sucrose, sorbitol and tannin.
Bulmers's on-site analytical laboratory at Hereford uses the ABX Pentra 400 to process approximately 90 samples a week.
Some samples require the complete testing profile, while others require specific or single tests.
This compact bench-top analyser is intuitive and can be flexibly operated as required by a number of different personnel during the week, providing simple, cost-effective and rapid analysis.
