Where do winemakers go wrong with Absorbance One?

Duration: 0:48

What are the most common mistakes when using the Absorbance One?

The good news — there aren’t many.

Absorbance One is designed to be robust and reliable, with a stable light source and guided software that reduces user error. However, good laboratory practice still matters.

In this video, we cover the key things to watch out for:

✔ Always remove the cuvette before adding reagents
✔ Avoid leaving a cuvette sitting in the unit unnecessarily
✔ Keep the unit clean and use the dust cover when not in use
✔ Follow standard lab handling procedures

✔ Most performance issues are caused by handling technique rather than the instrument itself.

Most issues don’t come from the instrument itself — they come from handling practices. Treating the unit like professional lab equipment ensures consistent, reliable results.

Absorbance One is designed to simplify enzymatic wine testing — but good workflow habits will always support better outcomes.

“Simple system. Good practice. Reliable results.”
