FOSS - Fiber Analyzer - The Fibertec™ series

Value

Lowest operator time of any fibre analysis solution. Official reference method results with unrivalled accuracy (ISO, AOAC). Safest fibre analysis solution available.

Key features

• No sample transfer

Samples are handled separately in standard filter crucibles which are used both as an integral part of the assembly during extraction, rinsing and filtration and as sample vessels during weighing, drying and ashing. Sample residue remains in the crucible during the whole procedure, avoiding sample transfer and associated risk of error.

• The FT 121 Fibertec cold extraction unit

The FT 121 Fibertec™ cold extraction unit can be used in combination with the fully automated Fibertec™ 8000 for de-fatting samples and extraction at ambient temperatures and solvent dehydration of fibre residues.

• Official reference method results

The Fibertec™ 8000 provides official method results (ISO, AOAC), with the safest fibre analysis solution available for crude fibre, ADF, ADL and NDF. Non-attended measurement of up to six samples simultaneously releases staff to do other things – it can even run overnight.

• On-board heating and dispensing of reagents

Innovative safety features help you to raise the safety level in everyday operations. All reagents are dispensed automatically avoiding any contact with hot chemicals and their fumes. In addition, automatic heat reduction when the boiling point is reached prevents spillage. The system adds antifoam and enzymes automatically (when required).

Value

An easy way to secure consistent analytical results with repeatable determination of fibre content according to Weende, van Soest and other recognised methods.

Key features

• The FT 121 Fibertec™ Cold Extraction Unit

In addition we offer the FT 121 Cold Extraction Unit. It can be used in combination with the FT 122 for de-fatting samples and extraction at ambient temperatures and solvent dehydration of fibre residues. It can also be used in connection with the fully automated Fibertec 8000.

• Batch handling tools

Batch handling tools improve operator safety when handling hot crucibles, processing up to 6 samples at a time.

• Crucible system

Both units, FT 121 and FT 122 Fibertec™, are adapted to the same crucible system that permits the sample, whenever required, to be dried and weighed between extractions. In the system the samples are handled in specially designed filter crucibles, which are used both as an integral part of an extraction assembly during extraction, rinsing and filtering, and as a sample vessel during the weighing, drying and ashing steps.
