Problem

Precise verification of the dimethyl dicarbonate (DMDC) dosage


Do you produce drinks such as....


  • juice spritzer,
  • iced tea,
  • Flavored water,
  • Sports or energy drinks,
  • Non-alcoholic wine,
  • Beer and mixed wine drinks,
  • Cider,
  • Hard Seltzer?


Do you use dimethyldicarbonate (DMDC; E242) to ensure the microbiological stability of your drinks?


Do you know for each batch whether the correct dosage has been used?

Lösung

With the Spark M-30, you can easily check every DMDC dosage by measuring the methanol content!


Our measuring method:


  • Accurate - detection limit 1 ppm
  • Fast - measurement time approx. 5 minutes
  • Inexpensive - costs per measurement < 5€
  • Uncomplicated - no sample preparation necessary
  • Integrated - data export via USB interface
