How it Works:
LactoScope FT Advanced utilizes Mid-Infrared (IR) analysis technology which is recognized world-wide by the IDF and AOAC as a standard method of analysis. An infrared light source provides a single-beam light passed through an interferometer providing the whole spectrum of IR light for unlimited product analysis. The light is then passed through a cuvette containing the milk product and is captured by a detector. The intensity of the specific wavelength of light corresponds to the amount of a given component in the sample.
