Perkin Elmer LactoScope
-
Accurate, reliable, robust milk, cream and dairy liquids composition analysis
-
All products and parameters included as standard for analysis of milk products
-
Capable of pumping highly viscous creams
-
Intuitive, easy to use software for analysis of milk
The LactoScope dairy liquids composition analyser uses a proven, high powered pumping system and dual homogeniser to allow reliable and repeatable measurement of products from skimmed milk to extra thick double cream without blocking or breaking down. The LactoScope is also capable of accurate analysis of set dairy products such as Crème fraiche, custards and mousses, clotted cream and cream cheese.
Powered by the highly robust Perkin Elmer SP2 spectrometer this automatic milk fat testing machine achieves reliable, stable analysis. A wide range of products can be analysed using the instrument from skim to 55% cream, whey concentrates, ice cream, yogurt bases and plant based liquids. The standard parameters incorporated within the instrument include fat, protein, lactose, casein and FPD, others are also available.
The LactoScope milk analyser offers intuitive, easy to use software making calibration updates very simple with automatic outlier detection and advanced configuration options making the milk analyser easily tailored to your specific requirements. Choosing a LactoScope for your dairy product testing provides you with a high specification milk analyzer at a competitive price and access to our training, calibration and support package.

“Our choice for selecting the FTA was after careful considerations of the benefits of this instrument which outweighed those of similar functional instruments. What we have experienced is a well-built instrument, with low ongoing cost of ownership, needing only small quantities of generic chemicals to operate, no costly bespoke solutions and no need for standardisation. The instruments we have found reliable and robust, Calibrations appear to remain stable over long intervals and calibration verification is very easy, not requiring a calibration expert. Operator interface is easy to use, with operator friendly software”

Analysis of Cream with High Fat Content
Achieving consistent repeatability when analysing high fat cream can be a challenge for some dairy analysers. The LactoScope FTA has an extremely efficient pumping system capable of dealing with highly viscous products.
“We are very happy to have purchased the LactoScope, it is much faster than the previous machine and results are more repeatable, meaning fewer retests during processing and more confidence for production. QCL’s excellent support has been very valuable while moving to the new machine.
