DairySpec FT Series: Infrared Analysers

DairySpec FT Series: Infrared Analysers

Rapid and accurate determination of milk products chemical composition

Semi-automatic and automatic versions from 100 up to 300 samples/hour

The DairySpec FT uses FTIR spectroscopy for extremely accurate and reliable milk and dairy products chemical composition determination. Analysing up to 64 parameters simultaneously, the DairySpec FT is the optimal solution for the quality control of raw and processed materials.
It gives access to the very fine analysis of milk and dairy products chemical composition (fat, proteins, casein, lactose, solids, urea, citric acid, fatty acids profil, FPD). Highly reliable and accurate for milk (raw, UHT, …) and dairy products (cream, whey, permeate, retentate, …) analysis.
Adaptable to measure other products and parameters upon request.

The spectra are standardised in real time to optimise calibrations transferability, stability and qualitative analysis (adulteration). Direct access to spectra for the development of new calibrations.

Technical Overview

Technical Overview

The DairySpec FT consists of a proprietary optical infrared analysis system and an integrated high speed computer. To measure specific components within milk products, the instrument measures the energy absorption at specific wavelengths in the mid-infrared region.

Operators use computer controls to vary the pump and analysis speed, directing the system to operate at a slower speed when processing products of high viscosity, such as cream.
Programmable screen layout allows the operator to choose up to eight windows to display component values, both measured and calculated.
The instrument is capable of handling multiple calibrations as needed to optimise accuracy in testing different components.
Operator friendly software with graphic user interface (GUI) helps make the system easy to operate.
The flexible design of the instrument allows it to be used as a product analyser capable of testing a wide variety of fluid dairy products.
Instrument durability allows for use in high volume testing environments.
State-of-the-art design utilises few moving parts, making the system very easy to maintain.
Small, compact size and integrated computer reduces the amount of bench space needed, allowing the system to be used in the smallest of laboratories.

What is Flow Cytometry?
Flow cytometry is a technique use to rapidly characterise and enumerate populations of bacteria, somatic cells and other particles contained in a liquid matrix.

The flow cytometer, also known as the counting assembly, includes the flow cell, microscope, narrow band filter, and one or two powerful and highly stable solid-state laser(s) and highly sensitive photomultiplier(s). The laser excites the
fluorescent marker that is intercalated into the DNA and/or RNA. The fluorescence output is then collected with optics, filtered with a narrow band filter, and detected with the photomultiplier(s). The intensity and width of the fluorescence pulses are recorded and used as gating parameters. A calibration or conversion equation can be applied to convert instruments’ gated pulses into relevant reference method official unit. The flow cytometer is compact, completely closed and temperature regulated to provide optimum stability.
