MilkoScan™ Mars is highly cost effective, allowing you to measure up to six key parameters from a single milk sample. You can test and test again as much as you like at no extra cost. The instrument will lead to an immediate and dramatic reduction in costs by replacing much of your traditional wet chemistry testing.
FTIR technology is easy to run and cost-effective. The simple way to analyse milk – up to six parameters within a minute. Adulteration screening options.
Raw & processed milk, cream and whey.
Fat, protein, lactose, total solids, solids non-fat and freezing point (milk only). Targeted and untargeted adulteration screening.
• User friendly software interface • Large built-in colour touch screen • No chemicals or disposables • Automatic standardisation • Ready-to-use adulteration screening options
