Fat and moisture analyser - described as "a truly revolutionary breakthrough" - is now an approved methodology by AOAC International
Cem, a provider of microwave laboratory instrumentation, says that the SmartTrac fat and moisture analyser is now an approved methodology by AOAC International.
"SmartTrac is a truly revolutionary breakthrough in fat analysis and we are pleased that the AOAC has now incorporated the system into its official methodologies" said David Lofty, managing director of Cem Microwave Technology.
The SmartTrac system partners high performance NMR technology with the reliable drying capability and versatile analytical software of the Smart System 5 to create a fat and moisture analyser designed to yield fast, accurate results without solvents or calibration.
The system can determine both free and chemically bound fat, which previously could only be measured using labour intensive conventional methods.
Unlike indirect methods, changes in the texture, colour or uniformity of the sample do not affect the accuracy of the SmartTrac system. Intuitive system software manages the analysis and can store up to 100 methods and 300 results.
SmartTrac can perform an accurate test in minutes without the use of solvents or frequent calibration.
Its speed, accuracy and versatility enables many companies to save a significant amount of money each year by improving their quality control.
