New dairy lab instrument combines precise component analysis with high-speed somatic cell counting.
NORWOOD, MA (PRWEB) June 20, 2005 -- Advanced Instruments, Inc. will introduce its new CombiScope Analyzer, a highly reliable system that performs both milk composition analysis and somatic cell counting for rapid milk testing in dairy labs, at the upcoming 2005 IFT Annual Meeting + Food Expo (Booth #1343) in New Orleans.
The CombiScope solution combines a spectrophotometer using established infrared technology for elemental analysis, plus FDA-approved, fluorescence flow cytometry for fast and accurate counting of somatic cells,” said Peter Costas, vice president, sales and marketing, Advanced Instruments. The dual-purpose analyzer quantifies the amount of fat, protein, lactose, and solids content accurately and automatically in milk and milk products, as well as precisely measuring the total number of somatic cells in raw milk.”
Reliability and Technical Support Deliver Lowest Cost of Ownership
The modular system incorporates confirmed technologies that deliver the highest uptime and maximum asset utilization. When combined with its ease of use, standard one-year warranty, free on-site training and Advanced Instruments 24/7 technical support, the CombiScope offers dairy labs the lowest cost of ownership over the lifetime of the solution,” said Costas.
In addition, the CombiScope analyzers features include:
- Accurate measurement of somatic cell count via closed-circuit sample preparation unit
- Automated cleaning and zeroing
- Customizable interface via DataScope software
- Easy maintenance and rapid upgrading due to modular construction
The company also announced the availability of the CombiScope FTIR analyzer, a version of the CombiScope platform with Fourier Transform Infrared technology that provides ultra-precise component analysis, outstanding calibration transferability, and high throughput. This system can process up to 400 samples per hour and is ideal for herd improvement and payment control applications where exceptional accuracy is required,” Costas said.
