Hach VDK (vicinal diketones) TNTplus Vial Test TNT819

Hach VDK (Vicinal Diketones) TNTplus Vial Test TNT819

Hach VDK TNTplus Vial Test TNT819 provides an accurate and efficient method for measuring vicinal diketones (VDK), including diacetyl, in brewing and beverage production. Using the Analogous MEBAK and ASBC Method (Method 10276), this test ensures reliable detection of VDK concentrations ranging from 0.015 to 0.5 mg/kg diacetyl. The TNTplus technology enhances accuracy through automatic barcode recognition, reducing manual errors and streamlining data logging. Designed for use with Hach spectrophotometers, including DR6000, DR3900, DR5000, and DR3800, this test integrates seamlessly into laboratory workflows. The pre-dosed reagent vials simplify the testing process while ensuring precision and safety.
