About
us…
The Laboratory was
established in 2013 by Dominique Fink, M.Sc
Biology and Marco Larivière, B.Sc Chemistry
after careers of more than 20 years each in the
pharmaceutical industry.
Our mission is to apply technology and
innovation to the service of all producers using
analytical solutions and rigorous quality
control.
Our vision is to assist producers in their
product development to create a strong
industry and to be recognized as the top
laboratory for beverage testing and counseling.
collaborates closely with
professional oenologists from
and top French laboratories: Laboratoires
Dubernet and Natoli.
is also a proud partner of
Quebec’s Brewing Institute (IBQ).

Highlighting quality, terroir and supporting the craft beverage industry has
always been at the heart of the vision of and .
The main goal of oenological counseling is to assist producers express their
personality through terroir and creativity. Combining counseling with
laboratory testing in a yearly subscription format ensures precise management
of operations which saves you time but first and foremost, helps you prevent
errors and avoid unnecessary spending. Our ultimate goal is to help you
develop a prosperous and persistent activity. You are already working with a
counselor, a yearly subscription for testing only (Part 1) is available.
Part 1 : Testing
15 % discount on Heat and Cold Stabilities
20% discount on Bottling Analysis
$ 5 additional fee per sample on barrel testing.
Part 2 : Counseling
Part 2 is provided by professional oenologists from OENOQUEBEC. It applies
solely to wines, fruit wines, mead and ciders. It includes:
• One virtual or on-site meeting at our offices for blending trials.
• Unlimited contacts by phone or e-mails.
• Advice on production and monitoring. Strategic planning.
• Tasting and assessment of samples sent to the laboratory.
• Comments on tastings in the form of written bulletins.
A large part of the success experienced by the
laboratory comes
not only from its highly qualified and innovative multidisciplinary team but also
from the partners who have been at our side from the very beginning.
’s oenological consulting professionals are at your side from the very
first design of your project (product strategy, cellar design, planting strategy) right
up to bottling and beyond. Our partners, Laboratoires Dubernet and Laboratoire
Natoli are at the forefront of innovation in fine scale analysis and are leaders in the
French wine industry.

Petiolar
Testing:
Definition and
benefits
Petiolar Analysis Includes :
• Total Nitrogen (N)
• Phosphorus (P)
• Potassium (K)
• Calcium (Ca)
• Magnesium (Mg)
• Manganese (Mn)
• Sodium (Na)
• Iron (Fe)
• Boron (B)
• Zinc (Zn)
• Copper (Cu)
Why tests petioles?
Petiolar analysis answers two questions:
- What is the nutritional state of the vine at a defined stage?
- Is a condition observed on leaves related to a nutritional deficiency?
Testing of petioles is useful to monitor assimilation of metals and nutrients by the vine in real time. When used
specifically at different stages, from early flower buds, to veraison or even grape maturity, it allows characterisation
of the vintage and helps the winemaker apply precise fertilisation early thereby minimising costs. The main goal is
to optimise grape production and wine quality.
Why are must
analysis and
monitoring
tests so
crucial?
The main goal of maturity
monitoring is to precisely
determine the date of harvest.
Sugars measured through Brix will
give an indication of potential
alcohol while testing tartaric and L-
malic acids with inform the
winemaker on the maturity level
of berries.
Must analyses are essential to
assess levels of yeast assimilable
nitrogen necessary for
fermentation.
Potassium testing in musts
combined with tartaric and malic
acid testing is useful to determine
if the winemaker needs to perform
deacidification operations.
Other tests like end of alcoholic fermentation, malolactic fermentation and cellar monitoring help ensure that
products are stable and thus, prevent an increase in volatile acidity. Sulfite testing helps to determine if the
wine or cider is well protected from oxidation. Microbiology analysis will confirm the need or not for further
filtration.

Bottling is a delicate operation. Several important factors must be verified to
ensure that products are stable and will not develop issues later. The Laboratory
can assist you with several analyses like cold stability, heat stability, iron and
copper testing in order to predict de risk of crystal and protein precipitation so
you can take the proper steps to avoid these problems. Microbiological testing
can also be added for additional security.

The international ISO 17025 standard accreditation is used to
recognize the proficiency of testing laboratories throughout the world
Accreditation to the ISO 1725 international standard certifies that the
laboratory operates under a management system which was
thouroughly evaluated and approuved by an accreditation body such
as the Standard Council of Canada.
Accreditation is granted to laboratories which have successfully
showed their technical competence in analytical testing, equipment
calibrations, employee proficiency and result accuracy.
has therefore, met the stringent requirements of the ISO 17025: 2017 standard.
These requirements are recognized internationally.
Why use an accredited laboratory ?
1) Accreditation is the recognition of technical competence of our staff.
2) The laboratory has a quality management system recognized worldwide.
3) The laboratory has shown that it adheres to the principle of constant
improvement.
4) The accredited methods of analysis are validated and reliable.
5) The analytical results produced by the laboratory have undergone rigourous
quality control through an approved quality assurance process.
6) The laboratory participates regularly in proficiency testing to assess its
performance.
Ever since our beginning in 2013, the
Laboratory has operated according to
principles of the ISO 17025 international standard. Constant improvement is and will ever be at
the heart of our values. As your partner, an accredited laboratory can assist you to benchmark
your internal quality control methods by assessing their accuracy and precision.

Samples may be delivered in person to the Laboratory or through your œnologist. For mailing, we
suggest an overnight mail service (Dicom, Purolator, UPS, FedEx etc…) to minimize time between
sampling and analysis. Proper packaging and sample identification are the customer’s
responsibility. A sample testing form, available on our website oenoscicence.com must be included
in the package for sample processing. Sampling units are included in the price of analysis. Order
them today (shipping fees will apply).
For musts, please ensure proper packaging and stabilize your samples either by filtration or by
freezing before shipment to avoid incidents. A dirty or leaky package will be refused
To prevent cross-contamination and guarantee quality microbiological results, samples shipped in
juice or soft drink bottles will not be processed. Please use glass bottles sterilized with boiling
water or ethanol or sterile plastic containers. We provide complementary sterile containers for this
purpose (shipping fees will apply).
For water analysis, specific sampling containers must be used. Please contact us at 514-564-2050
for the correct sampling procedure.
