Determination of Total Acidity in Cider

CDR CiderLab: the analysis system for cider to perform quality and process controlsWith CDR CiderLab, device for cider analysis, is possible to determine Total Acidity in cider with a simple photometric reading of a sample of cider as is dispensed in a cuvette that is prepared with the reagent and already provided.

It is not necessary to resort to the tritation that is required from the OIV reference method. The results are correlated with the ones obtained with OIV reference method.

The Analyzers CDR CiderLab for determining Total Acidity in Cider

The system is supplied pre-calibrated and ready for use.
Results are expressed in accordance with the reference method.
The reagents have a shelf-life untill 18 months
The analytical methods are simple: the system does not require an equipped laboratory or skilled staff.

Are possible test sessions with several samples, up to a maximum of 16.

Calibration curve

The calibration curve of CDR CiderLab, obtained using reference methods, potentiometric titration, confirms the excellent linearity of the system over the whole testing range.

Reagent test Kits

The reagents are packaged in foil pouches containing 10 tubes useful to perform 10 analyses.

This is the minimum package that allows the use of CDR systems even to those who need to make a few analyses, thus not wasting reagents.

There are also boxes of 100 tests, however, packaged in 10 bags of 10 tubes containing the reagent.

Code *300320: The kit, designed for 10 tests
Code *300315: The kit, designed for 100 tests

The reagents have a shelf-life of 6 months.

Test Principle

Total acidity in cider is the sum of the titratable acidities; it is determined for addition of an alkaline solution titrated until reaching pH 7. The carbon dioxide is not included in the total acidity.

With the CDR system, you can perform your tests in total autonomy

Neither skilled staff nor a dedicated external laboratory is needed to use our systems. CDR FoodLab® optimizes traditional testing methods, making them faster and easier, while guaranteeing accuracy standards in line with the reference methods.

Analytical kit

CDR FoodLab® Analysis Systems use disposable pre-vialed reagents specifically developed by the research laboratories of CDR. The use of pre-vialed reagents and the analytical procedures allow:

  • a sample preparation that is quick and easy, when needed at all;
  • making analytical procedures extremely fast and easy;
  • removing all needs for complex calibration procedures.

Reagents come in aluminum packages containing 10 test tubes each to perform 10 tests (or packages for 100 tests containing 10 single packages of 10 test tubes each).

Just a few steps and results are yielded right away

Just a few steps will suffice to carry out your analysis in a rapid way in total autonomy. The system is composed of both the analyzer based on photometric technology and a kit of low toxicity, pre-vialed reagents, developed by CDR.

CDR FoodLab® is cost-effective because it does not require the use of expensive equipment and does not entail maintenance, assistance or calibration costs.
