Analytical Services

The Institute offers a wide range of advisory and analytical services which relate to all aspects of spirit production, from raw materials to bottled product. Analytical services exist to support core research work, act as a resource for member companies and relevant third parties, and provide effective support for troubleshooting activities.

To aid the provision of high quality, efficient analytical work, the Analytical Services Group was created at the Institute. This team performs well documented and validated methods, for the determination of apparent and actual strength measurements, major volatile congeners, cask extractives and a wide range of other regulated or process important analytes. New analytical techniques are continually being assessed to keep abreast of the latest technology.

To ensure data of the highest standard the laboratory has UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) certification, giving independent confirmation of the quality of its analytical work.
