Automated Analysis of Yeast Count and Viability
ETS St. Helena offers an automated method that reports viability and total cell counts for yeast within hours of receiving a sample.
This analytical tool couples standard staining methods with advanced optics and flow cytometry to report yeast viability more accurately and precisely than traditional methods. Reports present the percentage of viable yeast and the total population size per milliliter of sample.
Traditional methods using a microscope and similar procedures suffer from human error in preparation and the subjectivity in visual measurements. The method utilizes the latest in real-time microscopic flow image analysis and examines 1,000 times the volume of standard microscopic methods, vastly increasing the accuracy of results.
The primary benefit of the system is the speed with which it can record data and calculate vital statistics for each sample. In addition, the instrument provides greater consistency between samples by automating preparation
Automated processing equipment improves speed and consistency
On-line reporting creates instant calculation of viability percentage enlarged view
Advance Warning of ‘Stuck’ and ‘Sluggish’ Fermentations
Our new system gives winemakers up -to -the -minute information on the activity of a particular fermentation. Wines at risk of becoming “sluggish” or “stuck” can be monitored at any time, giving winemakers more opportunity to be proactive in resolving a potential problem.
Standardization of Methods Yields Quality
Automated viability staining is more reliable than traditional manual methods. Using such a tool, in coordination with standard wine chemical analyses, allows winemakers to generate historical profiles of fermentation performance and gives warning of potential problems.

- Measure the effectiveness of yeast nutrient additions
- Track performance of individual fermentations over time
- Determine the viability impacts of sulfite additions or other treatments
