VOCUS CORK ANALYZER®
The Vocus Cork Analyzer (VCA) combines a high-productivity autosampler with a high-resolution TOF mass spectrometer. These two combined technologies non-destructively analyze individual natural cork stoppers to check for the presence of TCA and other aromas and automatically select the stoppers based on the detected concentrations.
The VCA is capable of analyzing a single natural cork stopper in just 2 seconds, quantifying TCA with a detection limit of only 0.05 ng/L, with accuracy and precision superior to the standard, slow, and destructive ISO-OIV methods. Thanks to its high productivity, a single VCA system can analyze 1,800 cork stoppers per hour and about 10 million stoppers per year.
A NEW SCIENTIFIC STANDARD
FULLY VALIDATED ANALYSIS METHOD
ABSOLUTE PRECISION
The quantification of TCA with high-resolution time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry, therefore through the measurement of the exact mass of the main ions (mass accuracy ~ 1 ppm) and their isotopic ratios, achieves maximum precision and excludes the presence of false negatives or positives. Deepen your knowledge on real-time CI-MS techniques.
CUTTING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY
Non-destructive, ultra-fast analysis (2 seconds), high sensitivity, with accuracy superior to standard analysis. The method has been fully validated in a peer-reviewed manner and published in Analytical Chemistry, one of the most prestigious journals of the American Chemical Society.
The same technology used by NASA and CERN for atmospheric measurements, the Vocus analyzer is equipped with a specific auto sampler patented dynamic headspace system for natural cork stoppers and built with the most sophisticated materials for virtually zero VOC absorption.
