- Steroglass: Smart Enzymatic Testing for Every Lab | CISCAL
Steroglass Hyperlab delivers fast, accurate enzymatic testing for wine, food and beverage labs—lower costs, higher throughput, Australian support. Steroglass: Smart Enzymatic Testing for Every Lab Meet the Hyperlab Family Choosing between Smart, Basic and Plus comes down to three things: daily sample volume, bench space, and how many assays you want to run at once. All three are random-access enzymatic UV-Vis analysers, so methods, QC and data handling feel the same across the range. That makes upgrades painless, our team won’t need to relearn workflows when you grow capacity. Smart: Compact Automation for Small Teams If bench space is tight or you’re moving from manual kits, Smart is the low-risk step into automation. It’s small enough for a crowded QC bench yet fast enough for daily panels, and it uses disposable cuvette segments, so there’s no cuvette washer to maintain. Typical use: SO₂, G/F, malic/lactic, VA and a few ions across 10–30 samples a day. Basic: Routine Workhorse for Steady Throughput Basic suits labs with a predictable daily queue. You get more deck capacity (~46 samples) and a cooled reagent area, so you can leave a broader panel loaded and let the instrument queue the lot. It’s ideal for cellar labs that want to consolidate multiple wet-chem tests without jumping straight to top-tier throughput. Plus: High-throughput With Room to Grow Plus lifts both speed and convenience: ~60 samples, a 30-position refrigerated reagent rack, anti-crash sensing on the needle and an 8-cycle wash that keeps carryover down in sticky matrices like musts and reds. It’s the choice for busy wineries, contract labs and fermentation facilities that need headroom for seasonal spikes. What Stays Consistent Across the Family Random/urgent sample handling, endpoint and kinetic modes, and LIS-friendly exports (ASTM/ASCII). Enzymatic methods widely used in wine/juice standards (OIV/AOAC/IFU). Clear calibration tools and QC charts so audits are straightforward. Quick chooser at a glance Model Best for Deck & handling Throughput (typical/rated) Smart Compact benches, <~40 samples/day 10/20 or 20/10 samples/reagents, disposable cuvette segments ~140 tests/h Basic Steady daily QC, multi-parameter ~46 samples, insulated reagent plate, 6-cycle wash ~150 tests/h Plus High volume, complex panels 60 samples, 30 refrigerated reagents, 8-cycle wash ~180 tests/h; rated up to 200/125 tests/h Common Lab Pain Points (and how Hyperlab actually helps) Manual testing slows everything down What it looks like: pipettes, timers, repeat runs, results vary by operator. On Hyperlab: dosing/timing/reading are automated; endpoint + kinetic assays run in the same queue. Model nudge: Smart if you’re moving from manual kits; Plus if you already batch many assays. Short staffing and long training What it looks like: seniors tied up on routine SO₂/GF; new hires take weeks to learn each kit. On Hyperlab: saved methods, guided steps and one worklist; one operator can manage mixed panels and urgent inserts. Model nudge: Basic for steady daily queues; Plus for big mixed runs. High cost per test What it looks like: reagent spend climbs; reruns bite; several small instruments to maintain. On Hyperlab: tiny reaction volumes and one platform for many assays lower consumables and bench time. Model nudge: Smart delivers quick savings for SO₂, sugars and acids; scale to Basic/Plus as volume grows. Turnover and drifting SOPs What it looks like: procedures shift between shifts; notes live in notebooks; audits are tense. On Hyperlab: locked methods, lot tracking, calibration curves (1–8 standards) and 3-level QC keep steps consistent and traceable. Model nudge: any model; the software tools are shared across the family. Seasonal spikes and backlogs What it looks like: harvest days or promo runs overwhelm the bench; urgent samples wait. On Hyperlab: true random-access lets you insert urgent work without stopping; larger decks keep queues moving. Model nudge: Plus (60 samples, 30 cooled reagents) for peak periods; Basic if peaks are moderate. Double data entry What it looks like: results typed into spreadsheets, then into LIMS; typos and late reports. On Hyperlab: export in ASTM/ASCII over Ethernet/USB to LIS/LIMS or your reporting template. Model nudge: any model. Warm labs and reagent stability What it looks like: hot afternoons shorten kit life; drift creeps in on long shifts. On Hyperlab: cooled reagent rack and controlled reaction temperature (to ~42 °C) stabilise runs through the day. Model nudge: Basic/Plus (cooled reagents); Smart if cooling isn’t critical for your panel. Compliance load What it looks like: chasing traceability for OIV/AOAC/IFU-aligned methods; QC charts scattered. On Hyperlab: method alignment, audit trails and on-screen QC charts centralise evidence for checks and sign-off. Model nudge: any model; choose capacity based on volume. Product Highlights by Model Hyperlab Smart Why labs pick it Fits where a spectro or manual kit station used to live; minimal water and no permanent drain needed.

Choose PR710 if you want a handheld precision thermometer with Pt100 and very long runtime for routine checks. Choose PR721/PR722 if you need modular probes (PRT/thermocouple/humidity), app connectivity (Bluetooth/ZigBee), IP64, U-disk data export, or explosion-proof capability. How Precision Thermometers Work PRT (Pt100) thermometers measure resistance change in a platinum element; they offer the best stability and low drift. Thermocouples (TCs) generate a small voltage from two dissimilar metals; they cover wider ranges (up to ~1300 °C with Type S/N on PR7XX) but require cold-junction compensation at the readout. The meter linearises inputs (ITS-90 tables or polynomials), applies calibration coefficients, and outputs temperature with a set resolution (e.g., 0.001 °C). On PR7XX, the reference junction compensation for TCs is specified and contributes to uncertainty. Choosing the Right Probe & Sensor Match the probe to your range, accuracy target, environment, and connectivity: Range: cryogenic/freezer work (down to –80/–200 °C) → PRTs; high-temp process checks (to ~800–1300 °C) → TCs. On PR721/PR722, the intelligent sensor range spans –200…1300 °C depending on module. Accuracy: for tight tolerances, use wire-wound Pt100 PRT probes; for mapping and high-temp verification, TCs are practical. Environment & IP: wet or dusty sites need IP64 on PR721/PR722. Explosion-risk: select CNEx-certified PR721/PR722 configurations. Data & app: prefer Bluetooth/ZigBee for live sync and U-disk for quick exports. cspanran.com Australian Requirements & Good Practice Food & Beverage (HACCP/FSANZ): Keep potentially hazardous foods at ≤ 5 °C or ≥ 60 °C; the “danger zone” is 5–60 °C. Use the 2-hour/4-hour rule when food must be outside control during prep or display. GMP (TGA/PIC/S): Manufacturers must maintain controlled processes, equipment calibration and qualification, and documented records aligned to the PIC/S Guide to GMP adopted in Australia (Version 16 in 2024, moving to Version 17 in 2025). Temperature control and documented calibration are routine compliance expectations. NATA guidance (selection of references): A reference thermometer’s uncertainty should be ≤ 1/5 of the uncertainty required for the working thermometer—practical for setting targets during validation and calibration planning. Calibration & Traceability in Australia CISCAL is NATA-accredited (Accreditation No. 411) to ISO/IEC 17025 and performs digital thermometer calibration from –80 °C to 1100 °C, as well as verification of controlled temperature enclosures (e.g., ovens, furnaces, incubators, baths, freezers) with AS 2853 references where applicable. Expanded uncertainty (≈95% confidence) is reported on certificates, together with traceability. How often to calibrate? Baseline: annually for most lab and QA uses. GMP critical control / release: 6–12 months depending on risk, load, and audit history. Harsh use (high-temp cycling, shocks): shorten intervals (e.g., quarterly). These intervals align with risk-based GMP expectations under the PIC/S Guide. How We Calibrate PR7XX (method snapshot) Sources: dry-well calibrators for field checks and stirred liquid baths for best stability at low/medium temps. References: reference readout (e.g., PR722B) with calibrated PRT thermometer; ambient temperature/humidity tracking; comparison and electrical input checks where required.

- Steroglass EasyCheck: Tartaric Stability Guide | CISCAL
Verify wine tartaric & calcium stability fast with Steroglass EasyCheck—compact, precise, and traceable for winery labs. Tartaric Stability With Steroglass EasyCheck Why Tartaric Stability Matters in Modern Winemaking Tartrate crystals are the most common physical instability seen in bottled wines and are often read by consumers as a quality slip. Preventing precipitation of potassium bitartrate and calcium tartrate protects appearance and complaint risk at shelf. AWRI defines “ cold stability ” as resistance to KHT crystallisation at low temperature, noting that calcium tartrate is less temperature-sensitive and harder to control—so CaT calls for different checks than classic cold treatment alone. Meet Steroglass EasyCheck EasyCheck is an ultra-compact, bench analyser that needs only mains power and its built-in Peltier cooling to run tests. It automates a standardised, repeatable protocol and stores results for traceability or remote review via app/LIMS. Use it for routine QC, pre-bottling checks, trial verification and commercial lab throughput. How EasyCheck Works Conductivity-based Stability Testing When KHT crystals form, potassium ions leave solution and the sample’s conductivity drops. That’s why the accepted “mini-contact/UC Davis” style tests track the change in µS/cm during a cold, seeded run—less drop means greater stability. . Steroglass Test Flow EasyCheck favours KHT precipitation by adding excess potassium bitartrate (labelled “THK” in the brochure) and monitors conductivity through controlled temperature phases. Because it uses Peltier cells rather than a water/air bath, it ramps faster and holds tighter isotherms, shortening test time while improving repeatability. What You See in The Results EasyCheck gives you a graph (isotherm) and four named indicators that make the pass/fail call easier to defend in audits: TS (saturation temperature) TSS (stabilised TS) TCC (critical temperature of crystallisation ) SSS (stable supersaturation zone) The instrument also stores runs and supports remote/app or LIMS review for traceability. How to read the curve: during a seeded, temperature-controlled run the instrument tracks conductivity. A flat or <3–5% drop over the method window suggests the wine is already cold-stable; larger sustained drops signal ongoing KHT precipitation and a likely fail. Australian references commonly treat ≤5% change as a practical pass guide (some labs use ≤3% for reds). Set your in-house rule and keep it consistent across vintages. What each number means for decisions TS / TSS : show how close the wine sits to tartrate saturation at the test conditions; lower TSS generally means a wider buffer against KHT fallout in the supply chain. Use this to justify shorter or skipped cold holds on already stable lots. TCC : the temperature at which crystals kick off. If your bottling, transport or retail exposure gets near that temperature, treat or adjust logistics. SSS : a “safe zone” where the wine remains supersaturated without dropping crystals—useful when planning shipping through colder regions. Borderline or unexpected results: AWRI notes there’s no single universal definition of “cold stability”, and some producers verify marginal wines with a 72-hour brine test at −4 °C. If your conductivity drop hovers around the limit, run a confirmatory check before large-scale treatment. Calcium angle: EasyCheck also includes a calcium stability mode. Because CaT behaves differently to KHT and is less temperature-sensitive, treat its output as a separate risk screen rather than assuming a KHT pass covers CaT. What to save to LIMS: export the isotherm image, TS/TSS/TCC/SSS values, method settings (seed amount, temperature steps), operator ID and batch/lot—this builds a repeatable pre-bottling release record and speeds up audits or complaint reviews. Key Specs Conductivity: ±2 µS/cm sensitivity; 0–4000 µS/cm range Temperature: 0.01 °C resolution; ±0.1 °C accuracy; −30 to +50 °C Analysis chamber: 25 mL, magnetic stirring Footprint / weight: 21 × 20 × 43 cm; ~8 kg Thermal system : 4-cell Peltier; tighter isotherm vs bath systems (±0.05 °C vs ±0.5 °C) Data/remote: result saving and remote/app connectivity; LIMS/PC compatibility Built-in computer: ARM quad-core 1.4 GHz Advantages for Australian Wineries Run only the cold treatment you need, based on measured stability, and avoid energy-heavy, multi-week brine soaks for wines that are already stable. Recent reviews outline how data-led approaches can trim energy/additives while maintaining quality. How to Read/Act on an EasyCheck Run Before You Start Filter to bottling spec, degas if needed, and equilibrate temperature to the method. Follow AWRI’s guidance on comparative stability tests to avoid false positives from haze or colloids. During The Run Watch for conductivity stabilising at the controlled setpoint. Capture TS/TSS/TCC/SSS, confirm the isotherm looks clean (no instrument drift), and save the run to your batch record. After The Run If the conductivity drop is ≥5%, treat. Options include CMC, potassium polyaspartate (KPA), ion exchange, electrodialysis , or targeted cold time; CaT risk may call for specific additives. Base your choice on wine style, label claims and cost-to-treat. Pricing, Setup & What’s in the Box Pricing is POA(Price on Application) via distributors. Typical inclusions: Instrument Analysis chamber with stirrer Software Starter accessories Common consumables include KHT seeds and calibration/verification solutions for conductivity. Why Buy Through CISCAL Get local supply, validation, and service with a single partner—plus compliance-ready documentation and NATA-traceable support through CISCAL Accreditation No. 411. National coverage with NSW head office and sites in VIC and QLD; service reach across all states and nearby regions. Getting the Most Value From Your CISCAL Services Use EasyCheck to move from guesswork to measured stability. Start by writing your own “go/no-go” rule (e.g., ≤5% conductivity drop under your mini-contact settings). Log TS/TCC and isotherms to your LIMS, and review them at pre-bottling sign-off. For CaT, schedule periodic checks on wines with higher calcium or higher pH, and trial CMC or KPA before full-scale treatment. FAQs Previous Next < Back
