measured as is without extraction or other alteration therefore results are more consistent than methods which rely upon an operator to follow a procedure with multiple steps or use their judgement to determine the correct result.
The MQC+ Fat Analyser can be used to measure:
Snack food including potato and corn chips, nuts etc.
Chocolate and cocoa derivatives
Milk powder, infant and nutritional formula
Food ingredients
Dried animal and pet food
Fish food, meal and dried fish (NMKL method 199, 2014)
Other foodstuffs after drying
For high throughput analysis and more responsive process control.
Less prone to calibration disruption due to sample granularity, air voids, colour or composition.
Simple intuitive software, suitable for unskilled users, which guides the operator through the analysis.
Users can easily carry out routine cleaning to ensure consistent results.
Accurate
TD-NMR is a bulk measurement technique which detects all the fat in the sample, not just on the surface.
Non-destructive
The same sample may be measured repeatedly by the MQC+, or analysed by a destructive method.
Minimal sample preparation
Simply transfer the sample into a tube, weigh, condition then analyse in seconds.
No hazardous solvents or chemicals involved
The MQC+ does not require solvents which are hazardous to use and costly to dispose of.
Versatility
Instrument can measure fat in a variety of foods but can also be upgraded for solid fat analysis of edible oils/fats.
Cost efficient
Low maintenance and running costs, just requires mains power.
Connectivity
May be networked for LIMS access.
