CryoTouch 20 Cryoscope, with "lactose-free" function
Professional analysis of added water in milk and cream samples
CryoTouch 20 is a 20-sample carousel-based automatic equipment for the rapid determination of the milk cryoscopic point variation caused by added water, in full compliance with the IDF-ISO 5764:2009 international reference standard.
This next generation cryoscope includes a lot of useful features that the most recent technology allows: a full colour 7” touchscreen display, real-time visualization of the freezing curve, stable memory for more than 4,000 results, a PC software for data handling, USB ports for downloading all data to a pen drive, updating the firmware and connecting an optional USB barcode and QR-code reader, and much more.
CryoTouch 20 allows milk laboratories and dairy industries to perform official analysis based on ISO reference method. The new “lactose-free” function helps milk and dairy industries monitor the process of removal of lactose in milk and cream.
New functions, great advantages:
- Choice among 6 values for setting the reference value and between 2 different formula to calculate the added water %
- Choice between 2 reading modes: plateau mode according to ISO method or fixed-time mode
- Real-time graph of the sample temperature during each analysis
- A 20-digit alphanumeric ID code can be added to each sample, easily
- Optional barcode and QR-code USB reader for a quick sample identification
- Results shown in different colours for a quick identification of anomalies or critical values
- New “Lactose-free milk” function to control the removal of lactose in milk and cream
- Stable memory for 2 different calibration curves: the typical one in compliance with ISO requirements and a second one to be set according to the user’s needs (i.e.: Lactose-free curve)
- Stable memory for up to 4,000 results
- Easy download of test results to a USB pen drive
- Easy firmware updates by means of a USB pen drive
- Real time PC monitoring or quick download of test results to a PC of test results thanks to CryoSoft Touch data handling software
