PETALUMA, Calif. — Scott Laboratories is proud to announce a new exclusive distribution partnership with Sentia Testing Pty, bringing the Sentia™ Wine Analyzer and complete line of Sentia™ test strips and buffers to winemakers throughout North America. The partnership is effective immediately and Sentia products are available now through Scott Laboratories.
Developed by Sentia Testing Pty, a medical-grade biosensor company, the Sentia™ system is an affordable and accessible option for routine wine monitoring. Key parameters including free SO₂, glucose, fructose, malic acid, and acetic acid can be measured in minutes without specialized training. Sentia fills a practical gap for economical routine analysis in wineries without in-house lab testing capabilities or large budgets for outside testing.
“Scott Laboratories is exactly the distribution partner we were looking for in North America,” said a representative of Sentia Testing Pty. “Their deep technical credibility, strong winemaker relationships, and commitment to customer education will ensure Sentia users are well supported and get the most from the system.”
For Scott Laboratories, the partnership adds routine analysis to its offering alongside its fermentation, winemaking, and filtration product lines. “Wineries are looking for ways to test more often and improve existing quality control without major expense” said Steve Clattenburg, President of Scott Laboratories. “Sentia makes that possible, supporting better day-to-day decisions in the cellar.”
Scott Laboratories will stock the full Sentia™ product line, including the Sentia™ Analyzer, Free SO₂ Test Strips, Malic Acid Test Strips and Buffer, Glucose Test Strips, Glucose + Fructose Test Strips and Buffer, and Acetic Acid Test Strips. The company’s established cold-chain logistics infrastructure, critical for maintaining the integrity of enzyme-based test strips, will ensure reliable delivery across its distribution network in North America.
Customers who have previously purchased Sentia™ products are encouraged to contact their Scott Laboratories sales representative or visit scottlab.com to establish account terms and place orders.
