Wine Taint Analyses & Remediation Products: We are the only company in the industry that offers TCA (2,4,6-trichloroanisole) & IBMP (3-isobutyl-2-methoxypyrazine) wine analysis paired with the technology to correct wines containing unacceptable levels of these compounds. Our method of analysis satisfies the industry standard by using GCMS-SPME with an internal deuterated standard. We developed and patented TRIEX technology to selectively remove these contaminant molecules from wines. Triex is available in FIBRAFIX TX-R depth filtration sheets by Filtrox.
