Milk analyzers

A: All of milk analyzers Master and Lactomat can measure up to three types of milk in one device. Customer can choose the three types of milk he needs to test and each milk analyzer is customized specially for him. It is carefully calibrated and tested before dispatch.

A: Depending on the model of milk tester, there are a number of additional features that could be added to a device during production, based on customer’s needs and wish.

• Available are features like pH electronics and pH probe, used for determination of acidity in milk.
• There is conductivity option, which based on deviations from normal levels of conductivity, can help determine if there was some additive in milk, like table salt.
• Very useful could be the internal printer which allows printing of milk test results as report after measurement.
• Most of the Master and Lactomat milk scanners could be equipped with an USB flash drive, which allows for transfer of data from the device to computer
• The Bluetooth option allows wireless connection and transfer of data.
• Higher-class analyzers (Master Pro, Master Pro Touch and Lactomat BiSonic) can be equipped with internal accumulator that provides power for about 8 hours and electronic weighing scales for measuring liters of milk that you take sample from.

A: There are two main technologies on which are based the most used milk analyzers which test milk without the use of additional chemicals and reagents.

Ultrasonic spectroscopy has as its principle the application of high frequency sound waves that print intermolecular forces to the materials of the system. Compression and decompression oscillating in the ultrasonic wave cause oscillations in the molecular arrangement of the sample, which responds with attraction or repulsion of intermolecular forces, therefore, analyzed by transmission or reflection of the signals generated. On the other hand, the infrared spectroscopy is based on the ability of the specific chemical groups of some milk components to absorb infrared radiation at different wavelengths, such as fat, protein and lactose.

Both ultrasonic and infra-red milk analyzers can measure all the main components of milk very accurately and just as fast. In some cases the infrared milk scanners can be with little higher accuracy, but come at a much higher price than ultrasonic milk analyzers Master and Lactomat. Infrared milk analyzers are also usually not very portable and are mainly used in laboratories. While ultrasonic milk analyzers can easily be transported and used in all steps of milk production and processing – in the field in farms, portable collecting centers, dairy plants, quality control labs, etc. Ultrasonic milk analyzers can measure directly cold milk samples even at temperature of 5°C

A:

• Time of analysis with ultrasonic milk analyzers Master and Lactomat for each sample is 18 sec, 30 sec or 60 sec. While chemical test could take 10 or more minutes
• In one test you could measure all main parameters of milk (FAT, SNF, Density, Protein, Lactose, Salts, Added water, Sample Temperature, Freezing point, Electrical conductivity*, pH*) and in traditional methods you could have only one parameter at a time – for example only fat or only density, etc.
• Even inexperienced users can work with ultrasonic milk analyzer, without the need of special training
• Milk test is automatic and with minimum influence of human errors when using a milk analyzer
• There is no need of special treatment of milk sample with ultrasonic milk analyzers, like using chemicals, centrifuging, water bath, drying of milk sample, etc.
• Very low cost per test and no need of laboratory equipment with milk analyzers

*optional parameter

A: In the box of each milk analyzer there are the device itself, power cable, AC adapter, car charger 12V, USB cable, instructional manual, CD with software, sample cups, cleaning solution – daily, cleaning solution – weekly

A: Each milk analyzer is dispatched within 10 business days from receipt of payment. This time is needed for customization, as each device is produced with different type of milk calibrations, options and menu language, based on customer’s needs and order placed. Transit time depends on couriers and can vary between 3-5 days.

A: Warranty period is 1 year covering all production faults which are not due to improper use or bad maintenance.

A: You can make payment by card, by PayPal and by bank wire transfer.
