BioSystems Automated Food Analysis 

• Y15 Random Access Automatic Analyser

• Enzymatic / Chemical Reagents

The Y15 automated food analyser features continuous sample loading to streamline laboratory tasks. User-friendly software and a flexible and simple interface make it a versatile analyser that can adapt to any need. It is also available with a cooling system (Y15c) to increase the onboard stability of reagents and ensure a constant temperature.

BioSystems reagents are a sensitive and specific way to identify sugars, organic acids, additives, cations and other components, in order to control processes, quality, and nutrition facts. In addition, the analysis of by-products produced by microorganisms, such as lactic acid, acetic acid, ethanol, or histamine is important to control the hygiene and the process rapidly and efficiently.

Sulphites are regulated as both allergens and additives and the BioSystems test kit has been developed to accurately and quickly determine levels in meat and seafood.

Lactose testing for both correctly labelling nutritional facts as well as lactose presence in case of intolerances has been developed across vegetables, juices, dairy, meat, and cereal products.

Parameters – D-glucose, D-fructose, Sucrose, Lactose, D-Galactose, Maltose, Starch, D-Lactic Acid, L-Lactic Acid, L-Malic Acid, L-Ascorbic Acid, Citric Acid, Acetic Acid, Tartaric Acid, D-Gluconic Acid, L-Glutamic Acid, pH, Ethanol, Glycerol, Ammonia, PAN, Nitrite, Urea, Sulfite, Iron, Calcium, Copper, Potassium, Magnesium, Phosphate, Polyphenols, Histamine, Sorbitol

Food Immunoassay Options

In addition to the automated testing option the following parameters are also available as Immunoassay (ELISA and Rapid Tests):

Automated Fish Analysis 

• Y15 Random Access Automatic Analyser

• Efficient and Accurate

• Automated Histamine and Sulphites analysis

BioSystems provides rapid low-cost, high-sensitivity analysis of key substances in fish and seafood products. The Y15 automated analyser features continuous sample loading to streamline laboratory tasks. User-friendly software and a flexible and simple interface make it a versatile analyser that can adapt to any need. It is also available with a cooling system (Y15c) to increase the onboard stability of reagents and ensure a constant temperature.

Parameters: Sulfites, Histamine

Histamine analysis consists of a simple validated extraction and a rapid reaction with minimal reagent use. The system includes calibrators and is more economical and easier to use than expensive methods like immunoassay or HPLC. The Histamine Kit for automated procedure has been certified as AOAC Performance Tested Method SM #072001.

Sulphite analysis consists of a simple validated extraction in crustaceans and a rapid reaction with minimal reagent use. The kit includes the extraction buffer and calibrator, making it very easy to use compared with other methodologies, and shows excellent correlation with the official method (Monier-Williams).

Fish Immunoassay Tests

The following parameters are also available and can only be measured using Immunoassay (ELISA and Rapid Tests):

Allergens, Gluten
