The Analysis of Food with CDR Food Lab Systems

CDR FoodLab Touch enables the user to control the quality of food like milk, cheeses and other dairy products, eggs, egg products and egg derivatives, tomato and vegetable purees, fats and oils.

It is used worldwide not only in laboratories and production lines in the food industry, but also in small cheese factories, dairy farms, cattle breeding farms, egg producers, and testing laboratories.

The CDR FoodLab system

• A spectrophotometric analyser that use LEDs, instead of usual tungsten lamps, 4 reading cells and 16 incubation cells thermostated at 37° C.
• "Step by step" built-in guide during the analysis procedure.
• A Kit of pre-vialed, disposable dedicated reagents with a low toxicity developed by the research laboratories of CDR and a 12-month shelf-life, in packages of 10 tests
  

Accessories:

• Pipettes to simplify the collection of the samples.
• Cold Extraction System to extract, by a simple mechanical treatment, the oil to analyse from drupes, nuts or finished products, like bakery products or creams. It does not involve the use of toxic solvents.

Easy to use

The system is designed to be used by anyone, without the support of specialised technical staff.

The analysis methods are easier than traditional ones and can be performed in just a few steps:

• Adding the sample volume to the pre-vialed reagent.
• Following the displayed instructions and if there is ever any doubt, the HELP function will lead you through the process.
• Results are automatically calculated, displayed and printed.

Reliable

This measuring system owes its sensitivity, accuracy and reliability to the photometric technology based on LED luminous sources.

The results of the analyses are correlated with reference methods.

Reduced testing times

It is possible to analyse 16 samples at the same time and to constantly monitor the production process, obtaining exact and accurate answers in just a few minutes.

The multitasking mode allows the user to manage the determinations of several analytical parameters at the same time. It allows the system to process one analysis and to start another one at the same time, with the option to return to the first one anytime.

The Advantages of the CDR FoodLab systems

In conclusion, here is how CDR FoodLab systems simplify and support food quality control:

• Ease of use - no skilled staff necessary; moreover the "step by step" guide assists the operator in case of uncertainty about the analysis method procedure;
• Utilisation of simple and optimised methods, rapid to perform, without risks, without waste and without the need of a specially equipped laboratory;
• Removes the necessity to engage an external laboratory;
• Allows you to make rapid and safe decisions: in a few minutes you obtain reliable results on your samples;
• The system gives accurate results, verified by the correlation curves and the conformity with reference chemical analysis methods;
• The system performs a complete range of analyses for the control of the food production process;
• Small size dimensions, compact and does not require maintainance: the system is a spectrophotometer fitting the analytical needs of food producers.
