Frequently Asked Questions about CDR FoodLab®
A: The system’s reliability is confirmed by studies from universities and specialized institutes. Our clients worldwide attest to its effectiveness: Some methods are used by prestigious multinational groups
A: Each CDR test method is correlated with the corresponding international reference method, and in some cases is also adopted by accredited laboratories.
A: At startup, the instrument automatically checks the reading cell and blocks the analysis if an error is detected. In addition, CDR provides Control Solutions, samples with predefined results that allow users to regularly verify both instrument performance and operator accuracy. Integration with SAP further supports monitoring of the system’s status.
A: Because CDR FoodLab® analyzers are factory pre-calibrated together with their reagents, with calibration data embedded in the instrument and each reagent lot aligned to previous lots; an automatic self-check at every startup verifies performance, so routine user calibration is unnecessary, with fine-tuning available if necessary when aligning to alternative methods or legacy datasets. For a deeper explanation of how calibration is designed and managed, you click and read the full article
A: No, CDR FoodLab® requires neither maintenance nor periodic cleaning.
This is possible thanks to its optical technology based on an LED reading cell, which does not need calibration or periodic replacement, unlike traditional tungsten lamps or other more delicate systems. No drift over time, no corrective action required.
Its compact and robust design also makes the instrument ideal for direct use on production lines, even in demanding operational environments such as olive mills, wineries, breweries, or plants with industrial fryers.
Many of our customers have been using CDR FoodLab® for years, performing hundreds of analyses per week, without ever having to stop operations for maintenance activities.A: No Qualified technicians is needed: the system is intuitive and accessible to anyone.
A: Yes. CDR FoodLab® uses reagents in minimal quantities, significantly reducing operator risks compared to traditional methods. Additionally, it ensures sustainability through micro-analysis, which minimizes reagent use, waste, and emissions while maintaining safety and efficiency in food and beverage quality control. [More info ...]
A: Overall costs are highly competitive thanks to shorter analysis times, absence of maintenance, and long system lifespan based on LED technology.
Versatility will be your major asset

United PetfoodAs a pet food producer, it is crucial to work with qualitative raw materials to produce the best kibbles on the market. FFA and PV are valuable parameters for evaluation of the quality of protein meals and fats/oils. The classic methods are often time-consuming, expensive and require trained lab personnel. The CDR Foodlab analyzer offers a faster and cheaper solution to analyze these parameters on-site upon reception of the raw materials. This instrument can be used after a basic training and provides a good indication of FFA and PV.Discover United Petfood
