Features

  • Mastitis is the most costly disease in dairy farming

    Somatic cell count is recognized worldwide as the best single indicator for subclinical mastitis screening. Fossomatic™ 7 measures somatic cells directly in the milk sample in few seconds.

  • Configure your product to your needs

    You may operate your Fossomatic™ 7 and MilkoScan™ 7 RM as standalone analysers or integrate in one unit CombiFoss™ 7. The analyser capacity range from 100 to 600 samples per hour and can at any time be upgraded. Older generation Fossomatic™ FC and MilkoScan™ FT+ can also be integrated into a CombiFoss™.
     
  • FOSS Integrator

    FOSS Integrator is a shared software platform supporting other FOSS milk testing solutions. The same user interface, the same conveyors, bar code readers etc. can be used throughout the laboratory. This eases training of laboratory staff and facilitates data handling, transfer and storage. Uniform software provides flexibility in the laboratory. Further, context sensitive help available via FOSS Integrator software provides easy and quick solutions and answers, as well as provides an excellent tool for quality assurance.

  • FossConnect™

    FossConnect™ is a centralised networking management solution for Fossomatic™, BactoScan™, MilkoScan™ and CombiFoss™ that helps you to reduce operational costs and secure consistent high performance from your analytical instruments.
