Methanol Toxicity
Methanol is toxic to humans in higher doses, causing negative health effects ranging from nausea and headaches to blindness and seizures to even permanent nervous system damage and death in extreme exposure scenarios.
It is vital for distilleries and home users who may be new to distilling to test for methanol concentration periodically for their own safety and peace of mind.
Methanol Analysis - Gas Chromatography (GC)
Gas Chromatography is the most widely used method of analysis for volatile compounds such as methanol. This is a highly accurate and precise testing method which can accurately isolate and measure the methanol content in any spirit whether that be highly complex spirits such as whiskey, grappa or fruit wines or whether that be clean neutral spirits. Hence, any alcoholic sample can be submitted, it doesn't need to be a clean or neutral spirit.
