Automated Food Analysis
The BioSystems Y15 measures sulfites, lactose and gluten
Measure sulphites in meat and seafood
Measure Lactose in vegetables, juices, dairy and meat
Highly cost efficient, long shelf life reagents
Continous sample loading
Automated Analysis
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.
Dedicated Reagents
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
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
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.
Gluten
The Y15 has a new method for quantifying gluten, based on an immunoturbidimetric reagent. This method has the advantages of rapid tests (speed) while accurately quantifying Gluten (like ELISA) with the benefits of automation. The Gluten test employs immunoturbidimetry with latex nanoparticles coated with a monoclonal antibody. This antibody specifically recognises the 33-mer fragment known for its high toxicity. This fragment is present in prolamins like gliadin.
