The analysis element Analysis instruments from analytical solutions providers FOSS are a central part of the push towards quality. One of the instruments employed or in the process of being acquired for several new sites is the MilkoScan™ FT2. The FT2 measures a wide range of constituents such as fat, protein, sugars in dairy products and offers particularly high measurement accuracy, allowing precision in production and reduced costs on raw materials. Other instruments in the Unimilk quality control toolbox include the MilkoScan™ Minor for simple economic and milk composition analysis and FoodScan™ Lab for rapid analysis of solid and semi-solid dairy products like cheese, butter, yoghurt and quark with a minimum of sample preparation.
