“It's a really useful piece of kit to make sure that the milk that we've got coming onto site is the best quality and the quality that we need it to be.”

Senior Technical Manager of Müller Milk and Ingredients explains the value of rapid raw milk hygiene testing.

Features

Rapid results for somatic cell count and bacteria count

Results for bacteria count and somatic cell are delivered within nine and a half minutes (1.5 minutes for somatic cell alone). The method is the same as the well-known methods used in FOSS BactoScan™ and Fossomatic™ analysers used by raw milk testing centres around the world.
Flow system

Unique flow system directs the sample to a bacteria incubator or somatic cell mixing chamber where the cells are stained and then measured by the laser source. Two different laser intensity levels are used according to whether a somatic cell count or bacteria count is to be performed.
Automated reagent dosage and handling

Automated procedure ensures exact reagent dosage every time and avoids the need for reagent mixing. The reagent bag system is specifically designed for safe, contact-free use of reagents. The reagents are provided ready-to-use in bags. Place the bags in the instrument and close the door and you are ready to test.

Webinar: Know the bacteria and somatic cell count of incoming raw milk

This webinar introduces the BacSomatic™ raw milk analyser, providing rapid analysis of bacteria and somatic cell count in less than 10 minutes. The analyser is just as easy to operate as the well-known MilkoScan™, providing instant and valuable information about raw milk quality. With BacSomatic you will be able to reject poor quality raw milk and identify raw milk of excellent quality to be used for high end products.
Articles explore the latest development in analytical methods and instruments, including interviews with users and input from technical experts.
