MilkoScan Mars is highly cost effective, allowing you to measure up to six key parameters from a single milk sample. You can test and test again as much as you like at no extra cost. The instrument will lead to an immediate and dramatic reduction in costs by replacing much of your traditional wet chemistry testing.
MilkoScan Mars puts powerful FTIR analytical technology within the reach of small to mid-size dairies, helping them to avoid slow and labour intensive traditional testing methods and improving their ability to spot deliberate or accidental adulteration of the milk supply.
Easy to run and cost-effective
MilkoScan Mars is supplied with ready-to-use calibrations allowing you to control and standardise milk or cream products for optimal use of raw material and consistent quality products. Plug it in and you are ready to start testing immediately.
The simple way to analyse milk and get instant quality control
Simply place the sample under the pipette and press start to get analysis results of up to six parameters in just one minute. Keep cost down with robust flow system and no need for chemicals or disposables.
Unique ability to screen for adulterants with FTIR technology
Check milk for known adulterants and anything that looks abnormal at the same time as performing other quality checks. MilkoScan Mars allows you to start screening from day one with ready-to-use screening models.
