CDR DrinkLab: Fast, Reliable Beverage Quality Analysis
CDR DrinkLab is a user-friendly analysis system designed for quality and process control in the beverage industry. With a single instrument, you can accurately test a wide range of parameters in soft drinks, fruit juices, kefir, plant-based beverages, tea, and water.
Thanks to its photometric technology, CDR DrinkLab delivers rapid, reproducible results without complex sample preparation, making it ideal for both laboratory and production environments.
All applications
Stay on track, every step
CDR laboratories have developed a comprehensive panel of analyses tailored to each stage of the beverage production process. Designed with every step in mind, from raw material characterization to final product testing, CDR DrinkLab is easy to use directly in production facilities. It’s also a valuable tool for laboratories involved in developing new formulations and monitoring quality throughout the entire process.
Track your ingredients, optimize your quality
CDR DrinkLab gives you clear insight into the ingredients that define your products. You can quickly analyze multiple parameters using pre-filled reagents, without the need for toxic or carcinogenic solvents. Every beverage can be monitored at each stage with fast, simple methods that require no complex preparation.

Frequently Asked Questions about CDR DrinkLab
A: The system’s reliability is confirmed by studies from universities and specialized institutes. Our clients worldwide attest to its effectiveness: Some methods are used by prestigious multinational groups
A: Each CDR test method is correlated with the corresponding international reference method, and in some cases is also adopted by accredited laboratories.
A: At startup, the instrument automatically checks the reading cell and blocks the analysis if an error is detected. In addition, CDR provides Control Solutions, samples with predefined results that allow users to regularly verify both instrument performance and operator accuracy. Integration with SAP further supports monitoring of the system’s status.
A: Because CDR DrinkLab analyzers are factory pre-calibrated together with their reagents, with calibration data embedded in the instrument and each reagent lot aligned to previous lots; an automatic self-check at every startup verifies performance, so routine user calibration is unnecessary, with fine-tuning available if necessary when aligning to alternative methods or legacy datasets.

A: No, CDR DrinkLab requires neither maintenance nor periodic cleaning.
This is possible thanks to its optical technology based on an LED reading cell, which does not need calibration or periodic replacement, unlike traditional tungsten lamps or other more delicate systems. No drift over time, no corrective action required.
Its compact and robust design also makes the instrument ideal for direct use on production lines, even in demanding operational environments such as olive mills, wineries, breweries, or plants with industrial fryers.
Many of our customers have been using CDR DrinkLab for years, performing hundreds of analyses per week, without ever having to stop operations for maintenance activities.A: No Qualified technicians is needed: the system is intuitive and accessible to anyone.
A: Yes. CDR FoodLab® uses reagents in minimal quantities, significantly reducing operator risks compared to traditional methods. Additionally, it ensures sustainability through micro-analysis, which minimizes reagent use, waste, and emissions while maintaining safety and efficiency in food and beverage quality control.
