Automated Malt Analysis Using Discrete Analyzers

Discrete analyzer technology offers faster, reproducible results with less sample and reagent use. All necessary analysis steps are automated. Routine malt analysis methods have been adapted for this technology including alpha-amylase, beta-glucan, alpha-amino nitrogen and diastatic power measurement. Discover new approaches for automation of malt chemistries and potential benefits and cost-efficiencies of discrete analysis methods.

What will you learn?

Learn about new automated methods in malt analysis. We will explain experiences compared to the standard methods and will show repeatability and method comparison results.

Who should attend?

  • Brewery / Malt laboratory managers who are considering performing or implementing automated malt analysis
  • Quality managers/ brewing chemists/master brewers responsible for malt testing
  • Lab operators wanting to learn how to simplify malt analysis
