Deliver consistently high-quality food & drink with Xylem Lab Solutions

Xylem's analytical involvement spans across the food & beverage cycle; monitoring the water we use to irrigate crops, within production and cold-chain distribution processes before finally being displayed to consumers at supermarkets around the world.

As well as providing WTW brand premium quality inoLab^® laboratory meters and Sentix^® electrodes that provide measurement of key parameters such as pH, conductivity, turbidity and temperature in the production process, OI Analytical GC detectors commonly analyse several raw materials for authenticity and pesticide residue. Meanwhile, the YSI 2900 Biochemistry Analyser can be found in specialist applications where low concentration sugar blends require control such as within the potato chip and tomato processing arenas, where results are displayed in less than a minute.    

One of the most common instruments is undoubtedly a refractometer, used for determining the °Brix of sugar containing foodstuffs as well as other liquid blends. Bellingham + Stanley has been manufacturing refractometers for over a century, and the latest OPTi^® digital handheld and RFM precision laboratory refractometers can be found controlling the dilutions of many recognised household products often alongside SI Analytics Titroline^® titrators that not only analyse acid content but also the blend ratio of non-sugar based diet drinks. 

The newly launched DSG Series of density meters compliment this measurement capability. Comprised of two instruments (DSG40 with 4 decimal place precision, and DSG50 with 5 decimal point precision) the DSG Series offers flexibility for your laboratory.

When it comes to safety within the cold-chain distribution process, ebro’s EBI 300 Series of USB data loggers provide a viable method of ensuring fresh fruit, vegetables, meat & fish stays within safe boundaries throughout its journey; whilst at the supermarket, EBI-25 wireless data loggers and WinLog^® software constantly monitors refrigerated display cabinets.
