FOSS Analytical - Dedicated Solutions for Food Analysis

I can meet product quality specifications day after day. I can answer growing demands for standards-compliance and product information. I can deliver fast, reliable analysis results.

These are just some of the ways in which FOSS is known across diverse industries and workplaces. Whether you work the laboratory or at the production line, your success is assured with dedicated analytical solutions from FOSS.

That's because a dedicated analysis solution is not just equipment. It is about giving you all you need to get analysis results with minimal impact on your resources. FOSS is unique in offering you a broad range of dedicated analytical solutions for laboratory, at-line or in-line analysis of food and agricultural products – from raw material to finished product.

INNOVATIVE USE OF ANALYSIS TECHNOLOGY

FOSS dedicated analytical solutions cover both indirect and reference analysis methods. Examples include: near infrared spectroscopy, dual x-ray technology, technology for simplifying traditional microbiological analysis, automated wet chemical analysis and process control technology.

MICROFOSS - FOR RAPID MICROBIOLOGICAL TESTING

MicroFoss makes complex microbiological testing a simple and cost-effective process. Reduced analysis time helps food producers to spot contamination earlier and avoid product recalls. Products can be released more quickly - reducing storage costs and extending product shelf life.

Measurements include TVC (Total Viable Count), Coliform, E.coli, Enterobacteriaceae, and yeast, in both raw materials and finished products.

INFRAXACT™ - FOR ROUTINE NIR ANALYSIS

InfraXact™ combines the power of a long heritage of FOSS near infrared reflectance instruments with ease of use - allowing new levels of excellence and efficiency in routine analysis.

Two models are available: the InfraXact™ Lab for use in the laboratory or control room and the InfraXact™ Pro for direct control of the product line.

InfraXact is ideal for rapid and accurate analysis of products such as milk powder, for constituents such as moisture, protein, fat, starch, ash, and lactose.

FOODSCAN™ - RAPID NEAR INFRARED TRANSMITTANCE (NIT) ANALYSIS FOR MEAT AND DAIRY

FoodScan™ offers rapid Near Infrared Transmittance (NIT) analysis of solid and semi-solid products such as dairy and meat products with a minimum of sample preparation. An accurate determination of parameters such as protein, fat, moisture and salt is achieved in less than 50 seconds. FoodScan is ideal for control of both intermediate and finished products.

A wide range of ready-to-use global ANN calibrations are available for use with FoodScan - allowing you to start analysing immediately. These cover products such as meat and meat products, cheese, yoghurt and butter.

PROCESSCAN™ FT - ONLINE FTIR ANALYSER FOR STANDARDISATION OF MILK AND LIQUID DAIRY PRODUCTS

ProcesScan™ FT is an on-line analyser for standardisation of milk and valuable liquid dairy products. It uses Fourier Transform InfraRed (FTIR) technology to determine the content of fat, protein, lactose, solids and other components.

Linking the ProcesScan FT to the FOSS ProcessTouch™ software provides a complete system for milk standardisation – allowing optimal production of products such as cheese, milk powder, liquid / UHT milk, WPC and condensed milk.

TECATOR™ - DIGESTOR SYSTEM FOR KJELDAHL ANALYSIS

The new Tecator digestor system for Kjeldahl analysis provides a range of new features for improved laboratory operations and effective compliance with GLP and health and safety requirements. These features include two-way PC communication, a Bluetooth interface and data-logging functions for digestion unit activity.

A number of different Tecator digestor models are available, from a basic digestion block to the complete 'auto-lift' system consisting of a digestion block, an auto-lift unit and the FOSS scrubber unit. This allows fully unattended operation and avoids handling hot chemicals.
