Fossomatic 7 DC offers better service with total and differential somatic cell counting
The world’s first high-throughput analyser for simultaneous differential somatic cell count and total somatic cell count allows you to expand your service offering by giving farmers more sophisticated data for improved mastitis management.
7th generation technology improves operations
The 7th generation of the proven Fossomatic testing platform, the Fossomatic 7 DC includes new design features for easier maintenance and cleaning and reduced costs of operation. With a low working factor of 150 you can rely on the repeatability of results over time. The modular design makes periodic maintenance quicker and a sample conveyor without need for compressed air allows effective cleaning at the end of a shift. You can choose manual or automatic reagent mixing and rinse liquid can be refilled without having to stop the instrument.
More results with less man hours
The latest in networking software allows effective control of multiple instruments from a single desktop saving time and ensuring identical performance across instrument units regardless of location.
