Sterile membrane filters
Mixed cellulose ester discs designed for maximum recovery of microorganisms and yeast.
Vine-to-wine QC solutions
Wine production can be a long and expensive process. An effective quality control (QC) program enhances production efficiency and final product quality—saving winemakers time. Our winemaking lab solutions work with your QC program to streamline workflows and reduce cross contamination risk.
