Contamination from unwanted yeasts and bacteria in wine production can compromise wine quality, causing sensory defects, acetification, or deterioration.

With Charm Sciences rapid Swabs, you can quickly detect adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy molecule found in all living organisms, including microorganisms that are harmful to wineries.

Accurate and timely monitoring of bottling equipment is also essential to ensure wine safety and quality. Bacterial contamination that is not detected in time can lead to costly product recalls and damage to the company’s image.

The NovaLUM II-X and PocketSwab Plus / Watergiene Swabs facilitate hygiene monitoring in the winery or on bottling lines, ensuring that cleaning procedures are effective. In just 5 seconds, the PocketSwab Plus test detects ATP, allowing immediate corrective action without having to wait for the long times (1-3 days) required for traditional microbiological analyses. The Watergiene swab detects ATP in water and on wet surfaces.

With NovaLUM II-X, test results are recorded using intuitive software, enabling efficient data management over time and automatic reporting.

The ergonomic design of the swabs makes it easy for operators to verify that surfaces are clean and sanitized, reducing the risk of contamination.

With superior sensitivity and accuracy, these tools are an effective solution for ensuring wine quality.
