Analyses

Our NATA accredited laboratories perform in excess of 100,000 analyses per year and have serviced the Australian wine industry since 1984. We deliver high-quality cost-effective routine, export or specialist analyses; whether it is for a single sample or a batch of samples.

A summary of analyses performed, prices, sample volumes and turnaround times is provided on the current price list.

NOTE:

  1. The Uncertainty of Measurement for both our NATA and Non-NATA methods is available for your reference here (99kb).
  2. All references to target response time (turnaround time) are the number of working days (Mon to Fri) from receipt of the sample by us. The target response time is only applicable to batches of less than 15 samples.
  3. Prices are only relevant to levy payers who meet our credit conditions that are listed in the Terms and Conditions.
