he ultimate solution for the optimal determination and valorisation of raw milk chemical composition
The FTS Combi is a fast and fully automatic instrument combining the FTS FT-MIR spectrometer, and FCM Flow Cytometer modules, for the highly accurate and reliable determination of the chemical (up to 64 parameters) and somatic cells content of raw milk at a maximum throughput of 600 samples/hour. The FTS Combi is available in three versions (400, 500 and 600 samples/hour) to best meet your analytical needs.
The FTS incorporates a Bentley Instruments patented method for the real-time, reagent-free, spectra standardization to optimize calibrations transferability and stability and qualitative spectral analysis (adulteration).
The performance of the FTS module fully complies with the requirements of ISO 9622|IDF 141:2013, AOAC and ICAR standards for the analysis of milk components.
The Somacount FCM is based on the flow cytometry technology with the emission and detection of a fluorescence signal for the counting of somatic cells in raw milk.
The FCM consists of two exactly identical channels (fluid flow and optics). This design provides advantageous redundancy: if an anomaly occurs on one channel, the operator can simply change the parameters and continue analysis on a single channel at a maximum speed of 300 samples/hour.
The analytical performance of the FCM fully complies with the requirements of ISO 13366-2|IDF 148-2:2006, AOAC and ICAR standards for the enumeration of somatic cells in milk.
