Overview
Value
High throughput with high uptime, the MilkoScan™ 7 is the ultimate tool for cost effective laboratory operations with flexible licensing options for a no-limits test portfolio.
Sample Type
Raw milk (cow, goat, sheep, buffalo).
Parameters
Fat, protein (true and crude), casein, lactose, solids (SnF and TS), urea, citric acid, fatty acid profiling, Free Fatty Acids (FFA), freezing point depression, pH, ketosis screening (BHB and acetone), untargeted raw milk screening (adulteration).
Features
Diamond cuvette for improved robustness ensures maximum uptime
MilkoScan™ 7 RM has a diamond cuvette backed by 10 years guarantee. Optics are optimized on the interferometer module increasing the signal/noise ratio, ensuring the same high performance at all cadences and improving repeatability for minor constituents.
Adulteration – untargeted raw milk screening
Raw milk containing abnormalities is a growing problem. The abnormalities can be caused by deliberate adulteration, for example, with lard or melamine or by accidents if water or cleaning agents are mixed with the milk. With the MilkoScan™ 7 RM you can screen incoming raw milk samples to identify a suspect raw milk sample quickly and as a normal part of everyday testing. The suspect sample can then be further analysed to determine the contaminant.
