CombiFoss™ 7 provides raw milk testing for 19 parameters in 6 seconds, including somatic cell count (SCC) and differential SCC. Seamless integration of MilkoScan™ 7 RM (FTIR) and Fossomatic™ 7 (flow cytometry) in one analysis unit.
Value
Testing an unparalleled 19 parameters in just six seconds, the CombiFoss™ 7 provides a unique platform on which to base your milk-testing business.
Sample type
Raw milk (cow, goat, sheep, buffalo).
Parameters
Fat, protein (true and crude), casein, lactose, solids (SnF and TS), urea, citric acid, fatty acid profiling, Free Fatty Acids (FFA), freezing point depression, pH, ketosis screening (BHB and acetone), untargeted raw milk screening (adulteration), total somatic cell count (SCC) and differential somatic cell count (DSCC).
Differential SCC for improved mastitis management
Differential somatic cell count (DSCC) is a new milk testing parameter introduced with the Fossomatic™ 7 DC analyser. It complements the established test for total number of somatic sells (SCC) pioneered by FOSS in the 1980’s. The Fossomatic™ 7 DC has several sensors detecting fluorescence signals from milk cells and a new chemistry and an incubation unit. Combined, they enable the instrument to measure DSCC and SCC simultaneously.
