Analyze up to 400 Raw Milk Samplers Per Hour with the Affordable Delta Instruments CombiScope™ FTIR 400
The Delta Instruments CombiScope FTIR 400 offers fast, reliable and accurate analysis of all components and somatic cells in raw milk. The CombiScope FTIR 400 combines the power and flexibility of Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Technology with Flow Cytometry for fast and accurate quantification of somatic cell in raw milk. With the CombiScope FTIR 400 the amount of the fat, protein, lactose and total solids is determined automatically with the highest accuracy while simultaneously quantifying somatic cell count in the sample.
The CombiScope FTIR 400’s easy operation, competitive price and high sample throughput is perfect for Dairy Herd Improvement and Payment laboratories to monitor herd health and product quality.
