The system does not foresee the use of toxic solvents and can determine:
- p-Anisidine Value in 6 minutes
- Peroxides in 4 minutes
- Free Fatty Acids (FFA) in 1 minute
Reduced testing time, easy use and reliability of results allow to optimize the production process or the processing of fish oil.
Fish oil tends to oxidize very quickly, that is why it is vital that processing companies may rely on an instrument such as CDR FoodLab®, which allows for a simpler and faster monitoring of the oxidation status of fish oil.
How is CDR FoodLab® System composed?
Instruments
CDR FoodLab® Analysis System uses an analyzer based on photometric technology, available in two versions, and a dedicated kit of pipettes. The ease and reliability of the system is based on exclusive technical features:
- reading cells are equipped with state-of-the-art LED emitters;
- reading and incubation cells are thermostated at 37 ° C;
- the analyzer is supplied pre-calibrated, no further calibration or maintenance is required;
- instruments can be equipped with a printer or PC connection.
Reagent Kits
CDR FoodLab® Analysis Systems use low toxicity disposable pre-vialed reagents, specifically developed by the research laboratories of CDR. The use of pre-vialed reagents and dedicated analytical procedures allows:
- a sample preparation that is quick and easy, when needed at all;
- making analytical procedures extremely fast and easy;
- removing all needs for complex calibration procedures;
- removing all needs to handle toxic or carcinogenic agents;
- making the amount of chemical waste generated only a fraction of the waste generated by standard methods.
Reagents come in packages containing 10 test tubes each, to perform 10 tests (or packages for 100 tests containing 10 single packages of 10 test tubes each).
How are quality control tests on fish oil performed?
Performing chemical analyses on fish oil is simple and fast because sample preparation is not required. All reagents are supplied pre-vialed and ready to use, and operators do not have to get in touch with toxic or carcinogenic compounds; there is no need to wash either containers or traditional glassware.
Testing quality of fish oil is simple and fast. Take a look!
