For decades Delta has been developing mid infrared analyzers for the dairy industry, named the LactoScope Filter.
LactoScope C3+
In 1990 the first LactoScope Filter manual was developed to check the quality of raw milk and milk products, by laboratory staff and production operators. With a very simple action an accurate result appears in the screen within 30 seconds.
Typical users of the LactoScope Filter manual are:
- Small and middle size dairies that need to check the incoming raw milk and end products
- Cheese processors to check both milk and cheese
- Back up instrument for dairies with 24 hours a day milk sampling
- Dairy herd improvement laboratories
- Payment laboratories
- Milk collection points
The re-design of the new LactoScope makes the instrument even more suitable under tough conditions. The small foot print with is integrated cleaning and zeroing buffers of 5 liters each, makes the whole setup userfriendly and easy to operate, not only in a laboratory environment, but also on site in the processing area.
