Gold Nanoparticles Key to Lab Test for Whiskey Agedness
Until now, knowing when a whiskey has been aged to its peak has been a somewhat subjective, labor-intensive, and expensive process. But a research team from the University of Glasgow in Scotland, in a six-year study, has developed a way to use tiny amounts of gold to determine whether maturing whiskeys are ready to bottle or blend. Testing product samples, like whiskey, to ensure quality and consistency, is more efficient with a LIMS than paper or spreadsheets.
