What is LactoScope™ 500?
The LactoScope™ 500 is an advanced FT-IR dairy analyzer designed for fast and accurate compositional analysis of milk and dairy products. It is designed to give laboratories and production teams confidence in every result, combining advanced FT-IR technology with practical features built for real-world dairy environments.
What Can You Analyze?
It supports a wide range of liquid and semi-solid dairy products: Raw Milk, Milk Products (Processed milk, UHT milk, skimmed milk, semi-skimmed milk), Milk with added sugar, Cream Products, Whey Products, Ice Cream Mix, Yoghurt, Plant based Milk.
Where Can You Analyze?
Dairy Processing Plants, Milk Chilling Centers, and Quality Control Labs at plant level.
Analysis Time
Less than 30 seconds per sample.
Measurement Principle
FT-IR
Measuring Parameters
Fat, Protein, Lactose, Total Solids, SNF, Casein, True Protein, Urea, Density, FFA, pH, FPD, Sucrose and more (depending on product).
Automatically homogenizes every sample within the measurement workflow — eliminating the need of manually homogenising the sample.
Programmed cleaning sequences automatically flush the flow cell and sample path after each run, preventing buildup on optical surfaces, reducing carryover between samples.
