CDR BeerLab® Analysis System

Fast, Reliable Beer Quality Testing in Your Brewery

The CDR BeerLab® Analysis System enables breweries to perform rapid quality control testing in-house, without relying on external laboratories. Designed for use in both production environments and quality control laboratories, BeerLab delivers accurate results in minutes using ready-to-use reagent kits and innovative photometric technology. 

With the ability to analyse up to 16 samples simultaneously, CDR BeerLab® helps brewers monitor production, optimise processes and make informed decisions faster.

Why Choose CDR BeerLab®?

Faster Results

Perform multiple analyses at the same time and obtain results in just a few minutes, helping to reduce delays and keep production moving. Up to 16 samples can be run simultaneously on the standard BeerLab® system.

Easy to Use

The system is designed for both laboratory and production floor use. Guided workflows and on-screen instructions allow testing to be completed by personnel without specialised laboratory training.

Reliable and Accurate

BeerLab® uses advanced photometric technology with LED light sources and fixed wavelengths, delivering excellent repeatability and results that correlate with recognised reference methods.

Ready-to-Use Reagents

Pre-filled reagent vials eliminate reagent preparation, reducing handling errors and simplifying routine testing.

Brewery-Based Quality Control

Conduct testing directly within your brewery and gain immediate visibility of product quality throughout the brewing process.
