Analyse

A wide range of food and feed matrices such as bread, pasta, ready to go meals, sausage and more.
Parameter Icon

Parameters

Fat, protein, moisture, ash, starch plus the option to develop specialised calibrations such as amino acids, NDF, ADF, dietary fibre, sugar and more for selected matrixes.
Value Icon

Value

Improve laboratory processes by knowing the expected value of samples. Save cost of consumables by choosing the correct method e.g. de-fating/ de- sugaring etc. Reduce the need for reanalysis and improve turnaround time.

 

 

New opportunities with fast indirect screening

 

Consumer demands for product innovation and government regulations on healthy products are driving a diversification of product types throughout the food industry. For busy testing laboratories already faced with staffing challenges, increased competition and demands for fast turnaround time, the surge of new sample types with unknown constituents is adding significant pressure on laboratory operations.

 

In this context, integrating a fast, indirect method such as NIR proves valuable as a tool to improving your daily operations. Fast screening of samples with NIRS™ DS3 offers new opportunities to increase efficiency, optimize capacity and minimize time-consuming and costly re-runs.

 

Versatile performance for a wide range of sample types

NIRS™ DS3 is an advanced and versatile solution for direct measurement of a wide range of food and feed matrices from animal feed to bread, pasta, ready-made meals and more - the list of many diverse applications for the superbly versatile NIRS™ DS3 continues. 

 

Unground, ground and liquid samples can be measured with new levels of analytical performance with no or very limited sample preparation.

Features

  • Automated sample transfer

    Automated sample transfer reduces time spent on transferring data to and from management systems 
     

  • Scheduled diagnostics

    Running instrument diagnostics is essential to maintain high analytical performance of your NIR laboratory equipment, but it is also time consuming and limits access to the instrument.


    With scheduled diagnostics, you can ensure that your instrument is always ready during working hours, with full confidence in your results.

     

  • FossManager™

    FossManager™ software allows instruments to be connected in a network making it easier, quicker and more reliable to manage individual or multiple instruments from a desktop located anywhere. 

  • Ready-to-use calibrations or tools to develop your own

    FOSS global ANN calibrations are built on thousands of samples from a large variety of raw materials. Alternatively, develop your own calibrations with the easy to use FossCalibrator™ tool.

Streamline your sample preparation with NIR

In this video, Concept Developer, Olivia Greulich explains how the NIRS™ DS3 can take the pressure of your laboratory operations in the sample preparation phase. Learn how to streamline your sample preparation, save time, reduce the use of chemicals and deliver fast results.
