Page 6: General Description
6 MI456 Minititrator for Wine Analysis 2. GENERAL DESCRIPTION The MI456 is a low-cost, easy to use, microprocessor-based automatic titrator. It has a simple and reliable peristaltic pump that ensure high dosing repeatability. By performing pump calibration with the provided Milwaukee standards, the instrument accuracy is assured. - Page 7 GENERAL DESCRIPTION 7 Proper acidity in wine is what makes it refreshing and an ideal accompaniment to food. The proper acid level of a wine varies, with sweeter wines generally requiring somewhat higher levels to retain the proper balance. For dry table wine the acceptable range is usually 0.60 to 0.75%;...

Page 8: Principle Of Operation
8 MI456 Minititrator for Wine Analysis 3. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION The determination of total acids in wine is made according to a neutralization reaction, that is the reaction between the acids found in wine and a base. This type of reaction forms the basis of titration methods of analysing acids. -

ELECTRODE CONDITIONING & MAITENANCE 19 13. ELECTRODE CONDITIONING & MAITENANCE Preparation Procedure Remove the protective cap of the pH electrode (MA919B/1). Do not be alarmed if salt deposits are present. This is normal with electrodes. They will disappear when rinsed with water. During transport, tiny bubbles of air may form inside the glass bulb affecting proper functioning of the electrode. - Page 20 Allow the electrode to stand upright for 1 hour. Follow the Storage Procedure above. CLEANING PROCEDURE y Wine deposits: Soak in Milwaukee MA9016 cleaning solution for 1 hour y Wine stains: Soak in Milwaukee MA9016 cleaning solution for 1 hour...
