FTIR, NIR or FT-NIR - what's the difference? How to choose the right technology for your production
FOSS experts explain the difference between Infrared analysis options for dairy producers.
The NIRS™ DS3 Dairy Analyser helps you to improve yield in your dairy powder and ice cream production. Designed for use in the laboratory or at the production line, the NIRS™ DS3 is a practical quality control tool ideal for routine production control and monitoring of final product quality.
Routine production control. Monitoring of final product quality. More yield with reduced energy.
Dairy powders and ice-cream mix.
Fat, protein, moisture, ash, lactose, acidity and more.

Automated sample transfer reduces time spent on transferring data to and from management systems
The Smart Start function ensures that your NIRS DS3 is ready to measure without having to wait for diagnostics. Just start the shift and start measuring.
FossManager™ software allows instruments to be connected in a network making it easier, quicker and more reliable to manage individual or multiple instruments from a desktop located anywhere.
FOSS global ANN calibrations are built on thousands of samples from a large variety of raw materials. Alternatively, develop your own calibrations with the easy to use FossCalibrator™ tool.
Advanced and versatile solution for testing a range of parameters on ground or liquid material with no or very limited sample preparation.
