WineScan™ FT120 Basic can bring substantial savings for the wine laboratory, as it does not use any reagent. It increases the capacity in the analytical lab, especially at seasonal peaks. Further it frees operator time for other analytical tasks. Today up to three instruments need to be operated to perform the same analysis.
Analysis cost calculation Estimates of cost saving are in the order of 20-30,000 $ per year compared to reagents for enzymatic methods, indicating a payback time of less than 2 years just for consumables.
If traditional reference analysis is done, cost savings could be in the order of 1-2 persons or 20-35,000 $ per year. If analysis is bought from an outside lab at commercial rates, cost saving could be substantially higher.
