The Analysis of Copper, Iron, and Manganese in Wine with the PinAAcle 500

Introduction

With the popularity of wine consumption continuing to grow, regulations are being implemented as to the metal content allowed in wines. These analyses can be easily accomplished using flame atomic absorption (AA) spectrometry. This work demonstrates the accurate analysis of copper (Cu), iron (Fe), and manganese (Mn) in wine using the PinAAcle™ 500 Flame AA spectrometer. The flexibility of operating mode and sample introduction systems, combined with its analytical capabilities, makes the PinAAcle 500 an excellent instrument for measuring metals in wines.
