Description
FT-NIR Analysis of Milk & Dairy Products
The MPA III Dairy Analyzer sets a new standard for quality control and analysis of liquid and solid samples in the dairy industry with the software-controlled Liquid Sampling Module. With homogenizer and peristaltic pump, it provides two options for sample delivery, including automated cleaning cycles and visible tubing for easy inspection. The modular concept is based on Bruker’s MPA III FT-NIR instrument.
- Transmission measurement through a thermostatted quartz flow cell with 1 mm (1,000 µm) path length for all liquids. The maintenance-free design shows no cuvette wear over time. Viscous samples like concentrates can be pumped through easily, even if they contain small particles or sugar crystals.
- Reflection analysis for solid and semi-solid samples with the integrating sphere. Powder samples can be measured in sample cups, while semi-solids can be analyzed in disposable polystyrene, glass or quartz Petri dishes. The sample is rotated during analysis to obtain the average result from a larger sample volume.
Fast and Reliable for Liquids and Solids
The MPA III Dairy Analyzer allows automated sampling and homogenizing, if required, for the analysis of milk and various liquid products:
- Raw, skim, processed and condensed milk
- Whey, UF whey and whey concentrate
- Cream
- Whey protein and lactose concentrates
- Milk drinks and flavored milk
- Ice cream, liquid desserts and yoghurts
- Infant formula liquids & premixes
With the integrating sphere, heterogeneous materials can be analyzed without sample preparation in diffuse reflection. Easy-to-clean sample cups, beakers and Petri dishes enable efficient sample throughput at low cost, making the system ideal for:
- Whey and whey protein products
- Milk and whey protein powders
- Cheese and butter
- Yoghurt and desserts
