Fermentation Wine (FW)
You can’t control the weather, but you can control your fermentation. The Oculyze yeast cell counting kit is the fastest, easiest, and most affordable way to analyze your yeast.
You get complete control over the entire fermentation process, which allows you to intervene in time to prevent serious and costly issues such as stuck fermentation.
With Oculyze, propagating wine yeast to reduce your production costs becomes an uncomplicated and fully controllable process, as you can monitor the yeast growth and check the cell concentration and viability of your yeast in no time.
