The Ultimate Winemaker’s Companion! Includes everything you need to analyze SO2, pH, and TA in one kit
-
Tests take less than 2 minutes to perform and are incredibly accurate with pH readings to 1/100 of a point
-
Combines the SO2 detection of the SC-100A and the pH/TA analysis of the SC-200 into one compact instrument
-
Audible buzzer and indicator light alert you to when the test is complete
-
Affordable wine analysis averaging roughly $1 per test
One lean, mean wine analyzing machine. The SC-300 combines the SO2 detection of the SC-100A and the pH/TA analysis of the SC-200 into one power-packed instrument. It’s built on the same hardware and software as our other two analyzers, so the accuracy is superb. And it’s just as easy to use – The audible buzzer and visual stop light will automatically let you know when you’re tests are done! Because it does not rely on a color change, the SC-300 eliminates the guesswork in Ripper sulfite tests, especially in red wines!
Why Choose Vinmetrica’s SC-300?
Where else will you find a single, compact instrument that can measure sulfite (SO2), pH and TA (Titratable Acidity) levels throughout the fermentation and aging process? Even in Red Wines!
-
It’s Accurate:
-
SO2: ± 2 ppm Free SO2.
-
TA: ± 0.2 g/L Tartaric acid
-
pH: better than ± 0.02 pH units
-
Quick! – Less than 2 minutes per test!
-
Affordable – About a $1 per test!*
-
Easy to Use – No mystery solutions, pumps or tubing.
*SO2 (Sulfite) Tests cost approximately 70¢ / Test (the cost of the reagents per test). If you do a combined pH and TA analysis, the cost of reagents for the pH/TA test is approximately $1.12 / Test.

The SC-300 Operating Manual
The SC-300 analyzer gives accurate SO2, pH and TA values. Kit includes everything to perform about 50 sulfite tests and 30 TA tests: both electrodes, all reagents, pipettes, syringe and beaker.
A Quick Overview – Wine Analysis Procedures with the SC-300:
Easy SO2 Test
-
Attach SO2 electrode, press the power button, change to SO2 mode and press enter.
-
Draw up 5 mL of titrant into the syringe and place 25 mL of wine in beaker.
-
Add ~2 mL of the acidifier and ~2 mL of the reactant to wine.
-
Place and hold the SO2 electrode in the wine sample and swirl beaker.
-
Add titrant from syringe dropwise until 15 second long endpoint signal reached.
-
Multiply the titration volume by 20, the SO2 conversion factor, results in ppm Free SO2.
Simple pH Test
-
Attach the pH electrode, set aside storage solution, rinse with DI water and blot gently with a paper towel.
-
Press the power button then press the ‘Mode’ button and switch the SC-200 into ‘Cal’ mode.
-
Calibrate using the pH 4 and pH 7 reference standards provided. Put the SC-200 in pH mode.
-
Take 5 mL sample of wine, place in a beaker. Take a pH reading.
Accurate TA Test
-
For TA test, withdraw 5 mL of the TA Titrant with the syringe.
-
Take 5 mL wine sample and add ~15 mL of deionized water.
-
Put SC-200 into TA mode, place clean pH electrode gently in solution.
-
Add TA Titrant from the syringe dropwise until the endpoint is reached indicated with the visual and audible signals. Record the volume (in mL) of titrant used.
-
Multiply the titrantion volume by 2, the TA conversion factor, results in g/L Tartaric Acid.
