Paper Chromatograpy test kit used to tell if your malolactic fermentation has gone to completion. This information is essential knowledge for doing SO2 additions, cold stabilization, acid additions, etc on wines that have been innoculated with an ML strain or allowed to undergo natural malolactic fermentation. You will certainly want to know if ML has completed before bottling. Comes with 25 sheets, as many as 4 samples can be tested per sheet (must be tested simultaneously, sheets cannot be re-used).

I followed the instructions. Nothing happened. What did I do wrong? Three reference standards plus three wines on the blotter sheet. The only thing I can see (after exposing overnight and drying all day) is the two red wine blots a little higher than where I originally placed them.
Russ Brodeur on Nov 14, 2018
BEST ANSWER: It can take up to 24 hours for results to be visible depending on ambient temperature and humidity. It sounds as though you waited sufficient amount of time for development. Are the reference standards blots visible at varying heights on the developed test? Do your wine spots align approximately with the Tartaric acid standard blot? It sounds like you are not seeing any presence of malic or lactic acid? If your reagent blots are showing but you are not seeing any traces of these acids in your wine blots, then one can only assume you have minimal amounts of these acids present in your wine. In my experience the developing solution has an extremely long shelf life if capped tightly.

Great product
Easy to use and results were very accurate. Honestly the easiest part of the winemaking process when compared to sulfite and pH management. Always use in a well ventilated area

Packaging
This seems to work much better than the Vinmetrica system i recently bought and is less expensive. It works well. The Chromatography paper is packaged inside the bottle and is quite hard to remove. Perhaps consider shipping the paper separate from the bottle?

paper chromatography test kit
My test results came out pretty much like the kit sample sheet. However, development was slower perhaps due to cooler weather. I left the test sheet hanging in my garage overnight before the colors were plain to see. Afterwards, there was still a bit MLF in the wine, or perhaps it was a random spontaneous fermentation. CONCLUSION I think it is a worthwhile gauge of malolactic fermentation completion in wine, certainly better than guessing by staring at tiny bubbles. I plan on using this kit on my future wines.

Easier than I thought
This is a good complete kit. As a first time user, I would highly recommend finding a YouTube video on how to use the kit to get comfortable with the process.

Now I know with good accuracy the status of my MLF.

Very easy to use.
This Chromatography kit was complete with everything needed for multiple tests. I tested at the beginning of MLF to get a baseline. Easy to follow instructions. Overall, very pleased with this kit.
Great kit with easy to follow instructions.

Works (pretty well) as advertised
The kit worked pretty well. Results for MLF completion were pretty faint, but visible. The developer solution with formic acid is nasty stuff. Use lots of ventilation. Will share with friends and use again.

I would recommend this product as an indicator that malolactic fermentation has begun and is close to finishing.

Easy
Test is simple but it doesn’t tell you if you are completely Malic dry. Currently looks like I have no Malic acid and lactic acid shows Lactic and between Malic and lactic. There is still some minimum activity in the carboy to suggest that it is still undergoing ml. I did the test twice with a week between and results are the same.
Shows lactic acid, no Malic, but wine still undergoing ml ( bubbles)
