— Color & absorbanceDark beverages, beer, wort and concentrates.
Conventional photometry may require dilution or short-path cells when absorbance is too high, and turbidity or haze can add scattering error on top of that. IC-COLOR™ addresses both — the same structured-illumination and Instant Clarity™ approach used for sugar color, configured at 430 nm for brewing color applications where appropriately calibrated and validated.
BREWING
- +Beer & wort color, including dark beer
- +430 nm brewing color application
- +EBC/SRM-type color output where appropriately calibrated and validated
DARK BEVERAGES
- +Dark / cola-type soft drinks
- +Concentrated beverage syrups
- +Other strongly colored process streams
In a brewery, IC-COLOR™ can address product color while IC-SPECTRO™ targets cleaning and product-transition monitoring — two instruments covering two distinct parts of the same process.
IC-COLOR™ reports ICUMSA-equivalent or EBC/SRM-type values; it does not replace certified ICUMSA, EBC or ASBC laboratory methods for regulatory or certification purposes without an application-specific validation context. Not every beverage matrix is automatically measurable — suitability is confirmed during sample evaluation.
— EmulsionsSee how droplet size changes through the process.
Food and dairy emulsions are a strategically important measurement area — droplet and fat-globule size influence texture, formulation and process consistency throughout production. IC-PARTICLE™ supports homogenization tracking, formulation comparison, batch consistency checks and process-development trends.
Particle size is one input to formulation and stability development work — it does not alone establish long-term emulsion stability.
Strong agreement with laser diffraction.
Across 90 prepared dairy-emulsion samples, IC-PARTICLE™ D[5,3] fat-globule size measurements tracked a Malvern Mastersizer 3000 laser-diffraction reference.

Diluted milk samples with optional casein dissociation, measured using the benchtop-format configuration — not a claim of direct, undiluted, inline milk measurement. IC-PARTICLE™ Benchtop and Online systems are available during 2027.
