What you can analyze

With CDR FoodLab^®, you can determine the shelf life of your finished products in a simple and fast way, by monitoring the oxidation state and the rancidity of the oils contained in the different products. All of this through regular and easy tests. You can analyze:

Acidity in 1 minute
Peroxides in 4 minute
p-Anisidine Value in 2 minutes

The CDR FoodLab^® chemical analysis system for the determination of the shelf life of finished products can also be used to test any type of vegetable and animal fats and oils. Moreover, it can be configured to perform analyses on eggs and egg products, milk and dairy products, tomato and tomato derivatives.

Determining the shelf life of finished products in 4 steps

Test for the assessment of the shelf life of finished products, like bakery products, snacks and spreads through the determination of the oxidation state of the oil contained in the products.

With CDR FoodLab^®, thanks to a simple cold water extraction using a watery solution (CDR Extrafluid), it is possible to determine the shelf life of finished products in an easy and fast way, by monitoring the oxidation state and the rancidity of the oils contained in the products through regular tests of Acidity, Peroxide Valueand p-Anisidine.

No risks for the operator are entailed and the environmental impact is reduced to a minimum.

Thanks to the Multitasking Mode, it is possible to run the oxidation state test of bakery products, snacks and spreads in 5 minutes.

A true testing laboratory to determine the shelf life of bakery products, spreads and snacks that comes in a complete, intuitive and reliable equipment

Complete, intuitive and reliable equipment to determine the shelf life of bakery products, spreads and snacks CDR FoodLab^® is a true analysis laboratory. We have developed it to perform easy and fast chemical analyses even on the production line without the support of personnel with specific lab tech experience.

CDR FoodLab^® fine tunes traditional testing methods, making them faster and easier, while guaranteeing accuracy standards in line with the ISO/AOCS reference methods.

Compact and handy, it is composed of:

an analyzer based on photometric technology equipped with state-of-the-art LED emitters, available in 2 versions
a kit of pre-vialed and ready-to-use low toxicity reagents, specifically developed by our research laboratory to fine tune analytical methods and avoid any contact with toxic or carcinogenic substances
pipettes that allow for the collection of the correct volume of sample.

Our device comes from a family of fast and reliable testing systems that we have developed and manufactured to perform food and beverage quality controls during the production process.

The ‘help’ function makes your tests easier

The system is reliable, fast and intuitive. It is so simple to use that anyone can run a test in total autonomy as if they were skilled personnel. Just a few steps suffice to perform the analyses and, if there is ever a doubt, the HELP function will lead you through the process by displaying detailed instructions.
