The MilkoScan 7 RM is a high capacity, fully automatic milk analyser for central milk testing (CMT) payment and dairy herd improvement (DHI) measuring up to 17 parameters in just six seconds.
Advanced testing options with MilkoScan 7 RM
In addition to standard parameters, MilkoScan 7 RM provides advanced screening for ketosis, urea and untargeted raw milk (adulteration) screening. Screening for ketosis as part of routine milk testing allows you to single out suspect samples and thereby get an early indication of the overall ketosis status in dairy herds.
Innovative 7th generation technology
With an improved optics and signal/noise ratio, you can rely on the repeatability of results at 100 to 600 samples per hour. Flow system technology with an optional diamond cuvette backed by a 10 year guarantee, ensures maximum uptime. It is easy to clean and includes a sample conveyor without need for compressed air.
Optimise instrument management with FOSS digital services
Ensure consistent performance of all instruments in your network and avoid downtime by making upgrades and adjustments while instruments continue to run. Protect your database and calibration models with automatic back up of data.

Specifications
Most of the calibrations are using multiple wavelengths selected freely from the entire Mid-IR spectrum in order to optimize robustness and accuracy. Compared to traditional filter calibrations, they are called full spectrum calibrations.
