The IndiScope milk analyzer comes complete, right out of the box, with preset methods that make it easy to test for fat, protein, and solids-not-fat and targeted and untargeted adulterants such as: Water, Urea, Sucrose, Maltodextrin, Ammonium sulfate. All this analytical performance and reliability comes standard in the IndiScope system’s baseline configuration.
IndiScope FT-IR Milk Analyzer
Milk production is highly localized in many parts of the world. Small farmers often bring their product to local collection sites, sometimes twice a day, where the milk is weighed and analyzed. Under local conditions, farmers and collectors alike need fast, rugged, dependable, and accurate testing instruments they can count on, day after day. The IndiScope™ FT-IR milk analysis system, designed to make milk collection and analysis efficient and reliable - regardless of who’s running the analysis, and where.
The PerkinElmer IndiScope is a high-performance, and robust FT-IR system enabling simple, reliable and high accuracy results for milk quality testing and adulterant screening. It’s designed for installation in a milk collection environment and has a hermetically sealed quality spectrometer to prevent moisture and dust to get into the optical system of the instrument. A flexible design with optimized “plug-and-play” sampling and analysis modules ensures the best solution for a range of quantitative and adulterant screening applications. Simple and intuitive touchscreen user interface ensures a straightforward workflow.
