SG Isotech has developed, certified and patented one of a kind technique (Ethanol Isotope Measurement - Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry - EIM-IRMS®) used to determine production practices and certify authenticity and origin of wine, honey and fruit juice products based upon Isotope ratios.
EIM-IRMS® is the ONLY method in the world capable of determining addition of sugar from C3 based plants during production.
It has also been proven to be significantly faster, more accurate and less expensive than the other techniques used for determining addition of sugar from C4 plants.
It is capable of determining botanical origin by measuring the original product for added sugar and/or water in both known and unknown samples.
EIMPyro peripheral is a universal instrument that replaces 5 other very expensive individual instruments used for stable isotope testing:
Results obtained using EIM-IRMS® method for a specific sample are always unique, repeatable, and provide a distinct product fingerprint. Because of the isotope structure of the sample, it is impossible to counterfeit the test.
Even though there is no method for uncovering production practices used in strong spirit production, EIM-IRMS® method is able to provide a unique fingerprint, which is impossible to replicate. This allows for easy product identification, authentication, and differentiation.
