    Diamond cuvette for improved robustness ensures maximum uptime

    MilkoScan™ 7 RM has a diamond cuvette backed by 10 years guarantee. Optics are optimized on the interferometer module increasing the signal/noise ratio, ensuring the same high performance at all cadences and improving repeatability for minor constituents.

    Adulteration – untargeted raw milk screening

    Raw milk containing abnormalities is a growing problem. The abnormalities can be caused by deliberate adulteration, for example, with lard or melamine or by accidents if water or cleaning agents are mixed with the milk. With the MilkoScan™ 7 RM you can screen incoming raw milk samples to identify a suspect raw milk sample quickly and as a normal part of everyday testing. The suspect sample can then be further analysed to determine the contaminant.

Routine raw milk testing detects early signs of ketosis in dairy herds

Read the article to learn about the screening test for ketosis in dairy cattle developed by Valacta milk-testing laboratory, Canada, in collaboration with FOSS. With a typical cost of Ketosis at *$350.00 per cow, an early warning of ketosis in the dairy herd can help dairy farmers achieve considerable savings at a very low cost.

Technical specification

Specifications MilkoScan™ 7 RM
Most of the calibrations are using multiple wavelengths selected freely from the entire Mid-IR spectrum in order to optimise robustness and accuracy. Compared to traditional filter calibrations, they are called full spectrum calibrations.
