Tests on milk and dairy products have never been so easy!

Are you in charge of quality control at a milk processing factory? Do you run a dairy? Do you have a test laboratory? We have the analysis system for quality and process control that is most appropriate for your business.

It is CDR FoodLab^®, the analysis system for milk and dairy products that allows to determine a wide panel of parameters on milk as is and on dairy products with a prior simple preparation fine tuned by the laboratories of CDR.

CDR FoodLab^® is compact and handy and can be used in any environment: either in a laboratory, or at the production plant, or upon sale/purchase of the product. Fast and intuitive, it provides results that are correlated with the reference methods.

CDR FoodLab^® can determine a wide panel of parameters on milk and dairy products, thus removing the need to purchase and rely on diverse systems to test the quality of milk and dairy products.

All types of milk can be tested (cow, buffalo, goat, sheep, etc.)
The system has been designed to determine the quality of low-fat milk or whole milk, raw or pasteurized, without any kind of previous sample treatment.

CDR FoodLab® can also be used to test a wide range of cheeses and dairy products, like mozzarella, cottage cheese, yoghurt, butter, margarine with a minimal sample preparation that is far easier than official methods.

Thanks to its ease of use, reduced testing time and reliability, CDR FoodLab® is used in the laboratories of food industries or on the production line of small and medium sized dairies to perform quality controls during any phase of the production process or upon sale/purchase of the product.

In a milk processing factory, CDR FoodLab® can be used to assess thermal treatments, monitor the content in lactose or lactic acid according to law provisions.

Milk producers and zootechnicians use CDR FoodLab® directly in the stable to take prompt decisions on the breeding diet and improve the animals’ health.

How can you use CDR FoodLab® for milk? Here are two examples

• Monitor thermal treatments of milk: CDR FoodLab®, with one single instrument, allows to determine: Alkaline phosphatase, Peroxidase and the level of e-Fructosyl-lysine (Furosine) so as to have the complete panel of tests needed to control the thermal treatment of milk.
• Detect the presence of pathogens and toxins in milk, as foreseen in the hazard analysis of the HACCP method, since with CDR FoodLab® you can determine both L-Lactic acid and ammonia

Easy and fast, it saves your time

The system can be used by anyone and tests can be performed in just a few minutes. This is made possible by:

• All methods have been developed by the research laboratories of CDR and have been specifically devised to maximize ease of use and reduce testing time.
• The “step by step” guide, displayed on the touch screen of the device, helps the operator if there is ever a doubt on the procedure.
• The sample is tested as is, or with a prior extremely simple preparation that is far easier than official methods.
• Reagents come in disposable pre-filled vials developed and produced by the research laboratories of CDR, thus removing the need to handle toxic or carcinogenic substances.
• The broad incubation module allows to test up to 16 samples at one time.
• The Multitasking Mode allows the system to process one analysis and to start another one at the same time, with the possibility to go back to the first one at any moment.

A true testing laboratory for chemical analyses on milk and dairy products that comes in a complete, intuitive and reliable equipment

CDR FoodLab^® is a true analysis laboratory. We have developed it to perform easy and fast chemical analyses either in a laboratory, or on the production line of small dairies, food industries, milk processing factories, zootechnics consultants and firms without the support of personnel with specific lab tech experience.

CDR FoodLab^® fine tunes traditional testing methods, making them faster and easier, while guaranteeing accuracy standards in line with the ISO reference methods.

Take a look at the analyzers model availabe

With CDR FoodLab®, in addition to carrying out analyzes on milk and dairy products, you can also determine the main chemical parameters for quality control of other foods such as vegetable or animal oils and fats, egg products, tomato derivatives  as well as animal feed and pet food 

Our device comes from a family of fast and reliable testing systems that we have developed and manufactured to perform food and beverage quality controls during the production process.

The system is reliable, fast and intuitive. It is so simple to use that anyone can run a test in total autonomy as if they were skilled personnel. Just a few steps suffice to perform the analyses and, if there is ever a doubt, the HELP function will lead you through the process by displaying detailed instructions. Check out all the features!
