The IQ160 is a rugged, waterproof, dual technology pH meter. It has the ability to accurately measure pH, mV, temperature and ORP. Features include automatic or manual temperature compensation, automatic buffer recognition of seven buffers and up to three-point calibration. The stainless steel pH probe has a virtually unbreakable sensor that stores dry and needs no maintenance, thereby eliminating the frustrations of using delicate glass electrodes.

The TMS-Pro and TMS-Console instruments provide affordable alternatives to high-priced systems currently available for texture analysis. Utilizing unaxial travel, both instruments apply mechanical forces to the sample. Forces are manipulated through an ever-expanding range of probes and accessories enabling technologist to replicate almost any physical processing or handling condition.

Advanced Instruments' Fluorophos® Test System is a rapid, extremely sensitive fluorimetric method for assessing alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in milk and milk products. It has multiple international approvals for accuracy over a range of ALP levels, including low values for milk from cows (whole, semi-skimmed, skimmed and flavored), as well as from sheep and goats. Many processors use the Fluorophos system to test pasteurized milk on an hourly basis to consistently demonstrate very low ALP values and show that the milk has been properly pasteurized and not recontaminated by raw milk. The Fluorophos system provides sensitivity to 0.003% raw milk.

The new AST-100 in-line food-grade viscometer is ideal for the food and dairy industries. It provides continuous control of product quality and has no moving parts to wear, bind or contact process materials. No calibration is required and it enables real-time viscosity control. This helps manufacturers save money while increasing production. The low-maintenance unit is effectively cleaned in place with other process piping.
