Title: Winove project: portable miniaturized assays

Abstract: How can we transfer scientific knowledge from academia, created in research labs, to practical and social-driven applications? The Winove project proposes the connection between these two worlds through an automatic methodology that allows multiparametric analysis in wines using SIA-LOV (Sequential Injection Analysis – Lab-on-valve) technology. Based in the same set-up, different parameters can be evaluated within a portable, flexible and fast analytical platform that fosters in situ analysis. Also, the SIA-LOV technology provides a decrease between 1000 to 2500 times in consumed reagents when compared to classical methods, granting a significant reduction of cost per analysis.
