Wine sampling tips for the generation of accurate results on your Sentia™
Good sampling technique is important for achieving accurate results on the Sentia. To collect a well representative sample of your wine, follow the below tips:
- Collect your sample from a homogenous area, i.e., the middle of a barrel, tank or bottle; do not skim the top or bottom.
- Degas carbonated samples *
- Do NOT hold samples in your pipette, or an alternative transfer vessel, for any extended period of time. It is recommended that samples be tested as soon as possible post-collection; immediately for free sulfur dioxide (FSO₂) testing.
* Note: Heavy degassing procedures are not applicable to FSO₂ samples.
