In wine production, work rarely slows down. Fermentations change quickly, samples build up, and consistent data is needed throughout the day. Analyzing everything by hand can take time that’s already in short supply.
Lyza 5000 Wine, together with the Xsample sample changers, keeps the workflow moving.
📌 Xsample 370, a single-position autosampler that handles filling, referencing, cleaning, and drying on its own.
📌 Xsample 520, a multi-position autosampler processes up to 48 samples in a row. Water reference measurements are performed automatically and new measurements can be queued at any time, even during running measurements.

Strike a New Path
The SFD Filling Device, when used with high-precision measuring instruments such as CarboQC or CboxQC by Anton Paar, allows for the quick and reliable determination of dissolved COâ‚‚, dissolved oxygen, and other gases in sparkling wine and wine. Additionally, it calculates the package pressure based on total dissolved gases, providing a comprehensive analysis of the sample.
Simple and Straightforward
Designed for ease of use, the SFD Filling Device pierces the cork of a sparkling wine bottle using a manually operated threaded tube. Once the cork is fully penetrated, the sample tube is lowered into the bottle, and the sample is transferred via pressurized air or nitrogen—without exposing the liquid to the atmosphere.
A tight seal between the piercing head and the bottle’s cork ensures that no COâ‚‚ escapes during the process, preserving the sample’s integrity for precise measurement. The device can accommodate various bottle sizes, from small formats to magnums, by inserting the correct number of centering plates. It is also compatible with both plastic and traditional corks.
One Filling Device Fits All
The SFD Filling Device is not just for sparkling wine—it can also be used for still wine sampling. When analyzing wine without carbonation, simply remove the cork and adjust the pressure for an equally effective sample transfer.
Safety for the Operator
Designed with safety in mind, the SFD Filling Device features a protective housing to safeguard the operator during use. The device operates at pressures up to 7.5 bar (109 psi), but pressure is only applied once the bottle is securely locked in place, ensuring safe and controlled operation.
A New Standard for Sparkling Wine Analysis
With its innovative design, precise sampling method, and COâ‚‚-preserving technology, the SFD Filling Device is setting a new standard in sparkling wine and wine analysis. It offers a simple, accurate, and reliable way to ensure quality control while maintaining the integrity of every sample.

Hofbräu München and Anton Paar:
Brewing Classic Beer Together
Located in Munich, Germany, the “Hofbräu München” brewery brews the beer for the “Hofbräuhaus,” one of the world’s most famous beer halls. With Anton Paar’s help, it produces well over 340,000 hectoliters of beer annually.
A trust-based partnership
According to Christian Beetz, brewer and deputy laboratory manager at the brewery, “With a reputation for producing stable, practical, and precise instruments, we knew we could trust Anton Paar.” So Hofbräu München has steadily expanded its measuring points with Anton Paar devices and built them into its QC network. “Since we had so many parameters we needed to measure,” remembers Beetz, head of quality assurance Thomas Brandt bought two of Anton Paar’s Alcolyzer Beer Analyzing Systems to automatically analyze alcohol and other parameters in our laboratory.” The brewery also uses inline sensors and portable instruments for the measurement of density (extract), dissolved CO2, and O2.
One solution covers it all
With its Anton Paar instruments, the brewery can measure over 15 parameters, including original extract, alcohol, dissolved carbon dioxide and oxygen, total packaged oxygen, turbidity, color, and pH. It can do this inline, at-line, and in the laboratory. As one member of the QC team at the brewery points out, Anton Paar’s allin-one measuring solution is a major benefit for his team. “I only have to have contact with one to two people. All inline devices are compatible with the same software, and all of them are collected and visualized on the same user interface.” Moreover, Davis 5, Anton Paar’s data visualization software, lets him calibrate and adjust his inline devices with laboratory values at the push of a button.
Measuring total packaged oxygen
Until recently, the lab team in the brewery had been using the caustic potash solution (KOH) to determine total packaged oxygen, which is an inconvenient, time-consuming technique that produces inaccurate, non-repeatable results.
Since 2021, the brewery has been using Anton Paar’s TPO 5000 total packaged oxygen meter, which has made the measuring process more straightforward, faster, and more accurate. With TPO 5000, Beetz says, the team can “measure headspace and dissolved oxygen separately. It’s much easier now for us. I insert a bottle into the instrument and after just a few minutes, I get a reliable result that is fully comparable with other measurements made on other Anton Paar devices. That’s great.”
Future challenges, future opportunities
Hofbräu München has more beverage brands than ever, and its portfolio will continue to expand. For Beetz and his team, this means more effort in the laboratory and a higher demand for measurement technologies that are fast and practical. “Seeing what the future holds for automated measurements, particularly regarding speed. Getting faster in this area would be a fascinating development.”
Another challenge is lowering oxygen values to ensure beer stability. Since beer is being transported farther than ever before storage times are also getting longer. “Because of this,” says Beetz, “we have to ensure only beer that is stable over the long-term is put into the bottles. This is critical so that we make sure every consumer gets that same Hofbräu beer taste that we are known for.”
While the QC team at Hofbräu München acknowledge these obstacles for the future, the team is confident that the brewery will overcome them – just as it has for over 400 years. Every challenge is also an opportunity. And that’s how the QC team approaches its day-to-day work at Hofbräu München.
