The Somacount FCM delivers the ultimate efficiency and accuracy in early mastitis detection. This instrument provides a rapid and accurate count for the SCC (somatic cell count) in dairy milk. This instrument represents the latest in state-of- the-art technology for automated milk analysis at up to 600 samples per hour. Engineered in accordance with Bentley Instruments’ rigorous design principles, it provides precise and accurate measurements. The Somacount flow cytometer, provides an accurate count of the somatic cells in a raw milk sample (cow, sheep, goat, camel, buffalo etc.). After first being stirred, the milk is drawn from a sample vial and delivered to the measurement module. The sampling, sequencing and identification of the sample vials are functions performed by the Autosampler. Fully integrated software controls With this instrument, control of the Somacount FCM module is integrated into a single Windows-based software program. The simple and intuitive graphical user interface is designed for easy operator use. The software’s sophisticated data export and reporting functions and network access capability allow laboratory supervisors to monitor instrument status and analyze results remotely. Technology summary The Somacount FCM is the next innovation in the evolution of our world-renowned instruments for somatic cell counting. Based on a highly stable solid- state laser induced fluorescence, this module is capable of delivering an accurate and timely warning for mastitis onset. Testing standards The Bentley FCM exceeds the IDF 148A standard and ICAR requirements for somatic cell counting, employing AOAC approved methodology.
