Smartphone photometer

As part of an AiF research project, which is being supervised by DECHEMA e. V., a smartphone photometer is to be developed to determine relevant wine constituents and live cell counts during winemaking. 

The aim of the project is to use smartphone photometry to detect and evaluate parameters such as acidity, color, sugar, alcohol, _SO2, but also total phenols and protein stability. In the microbiological field, the analysis of the live cell count of bacteria is planned. An application in the field of raw material control is also conceivable. 

The research project is being carried out in cooperation with Prof. Dr. Dominik Durner and the University of Kaiserslautern (project management Prof. Dr. Roland Ulber) and is funded by the German Federal Ministry of Economics and Technology (AiF) via Dechema e. V.  . Project number: AiF 20964 N
