Lovibond® EBC ColorPod1, For Beer, Malts and Caramel - Beers, Malts and Caramels - 440100

Developed by the Institute of Brewing and the European Brewing Convention, is a recognised method for color grading of beers, malts and caramel solutions as well as similarly colored liquids. It has a range of 2 to 27 visual units, yellower pale worts and lagers at the low end of the scale and the redder color of dark worts, beers and caramels at the upper end of the scale. The instrument is compact and portable allowing for measurements to be made in-situ, rather than having to carry samples back to the laboratory. The measurement is performed in accordance with the official photometric EBC method for color that relates the light at 430 NM passed through the sample being analysed with the EBC color value. The light is generated by a single wavelength LED that will last the lifetime of the instrument, samples are measured in 10mm path length plastic cuvettes, that are inserted into the spill proof sample chamber. The measurements take only three seconds to perform, with results output either in EBC color units or absorbance at 430 NM. The ColorPod has a sample chamber with cap, an LCD display, three instrument control buttons and are battery operated using a 9V battery.
