FoodLab: Analyzer for Milk and Dairy Products

Available Analysis
- L-lactic acid in milk, cheeses and cream
- Milk Urea Nitrogen (MUN)
- Ammonia in milk, cream and cheeses
- Chlorides in milk, cheeses and aqueous solutions
- Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in cow milk
- Hydrogen peroxide in milk
- ε-Fruttosyl-lysine (Furosine) in milk
- Peroxidase (POD) in milk
- Glucose in milk
- Free Fatty Acidis (FFA) in butter, margarine and cream
- Peroxide Value (PV) in butter, margarine and cream
- Soaps in cream
One System for Several Tests
FoodLab supports a wide panel of tests and, therefore, eliminates the need of purchasing and operating several different systems to the quality of milk and dairy products. The system is able to process milk samples from cows, buffalos, goats and sheep.
For instance:
- Besides supporting the measurement of alkaline phosphatase, FoodLab can also be used to quickly and easily determine peroxidase and the amount of fructosyl-lysine (furosine), which complete the panel of assays required to control milk thermal processes.
- FoodLab also enables to identify the presence of pathogens and toxins in milk, as specified in the HACCP risk assessment method, because it is able to identify the presence of lactic acid and ammonia.
An Accurate Measuring Instrument
FoodLab has been validated by the Standard Latte Laboratory and other ACCREDIA certified laboratories. Comparative studies have demonstrated that the accuracy of the analytical results parallels the reference methods, but also that FoodLab is easier to use and able to generate the required results in shorter time.
Ideal for Business of All Sizes
Thanks to its easiness of use, fast testing times and reliability FoodLab is used in laboratories specialised in performing quality controls during the production stages or at the time of acceptance on behalf of both food industries and dairy farms. In milk producing farms, FoodLab is used to assess milk thermal processes and to control the quality of milk during milking. Milk producers and zoo-technicians also use FoodLab directly in cattle sheds in order to define an adequate diet and improve the health of the animals.
Time Savings
- All the methods used have been developed by CDR’s research laboratories and are specifically designed to maximise easiness of use and reduce testing times.
- FoodLab is able to test whole, skimmed, raw or pasteurized milk, without any preventive treatment.
- you can test cheese and other dairy products with a preparation extremely simplified if compared to the official method.
- The low toxicity reagents used eliminate the need of handling toxic or dangerous substances.
MiniFoodLab
MiniFoodLab has a very compact design and has been conceived to be used to determine the amount of Milk Urea Nitrogen and of chlorides in cheeses.
