Dairy Milk Analysis
Liquid Dairy Products Analyzer - LactoScope FT-A
The LactoScope FT-A is our most versatile mid-infrared analyzer capable of testing a wide range of dairy product: milks, creams, whey, concentrates, ice-creams and yoghurt mixes. The latest hardware innovations allow to easily test the most challenging dairy products, such as creams with up to 55% fat and other viscous products. With a typical accuracy under 1% CV, a measuring time of 30 seconds, low cost of ownership and minimal downtime, this instrument is the preferred choice of the large processors and dairy laboratories.
• Accurate and user friendly
• Automatic clean cycles and zeros
• Sample pre-heat
• Full-spectrum analysis
• Includes calibrations
• Intuitive software
• Results 24/7
Patented Dynascan™ interferometer in the FTIR Spectrophotometer
The LactoScope spectrometer incorporates PerkinElmer’s DynascanTM interferometer, the OpticsGuardTM technology and molecular sieve as an optic compartment desiccant.
• The automatic clean cycles and zeros maintain the sample pumping unit and the measuring cell in optimal conditions, therefore improving the overall reliability and accuracy of the instrument.
• Sample pre-heat and homogenization standardize the temperature and particle size of the fat globules before measurement.
• Full-spectrum analysis enables quantification of all components.
• The LactoScope includes the calibrations to analyze raw, standardized and processed milks, whey, and cream.
• The Intuitive Results Plus software provides rapid implementation with minimal training, is designed to make analysis as rapid and secure as possible and is compatible with LIMS systems.
• The PerkinElmer NetPlus™ cloud solution enables remote configuration and monitoring of the LactoScope. Using NetPlus the LactoScope can easily be set up in a master/satellite network.
