CDR FoodLab Food Chemical Analysis System
CDR FoodLab® is the innovative chemical analysis system for quality and process control that allows you to determine a wide range of chemical parameters on food, vegetable oils, animal fats, dairy products, egg products, bakery items, pet food, and animal feeds.
Thanks to analysis procedures developed by CDR laboratories specifically for food applications, CDR FoodLab® can be easily used by anyone right at the production line, at raw materials receiving, or in quality control laboratories—saving significant time and operational resources.
Key Advantages
- Simple Analysis in Few Steps: Intuitive step-by-step on-screen tutorial guides the operator through each test procedure. No specialized laboratory technicians required.
- Rapid Results: Testing times are dramatically reduced compared to conventional reference methods, providing accurate results within minutes.
- Pre-filled & Disposable Reagents: Ready-to-use reagent vials eliminate toxic chemical handling, carcinogenic solvents (like chloroform or ether), and hazardous waste.
- High Accuracy & Precision: Excellent correlation with official standard reference methods (AOCS, ISO, IUPAC, IDF).
- Multitasking Mode: Allows simultaneous determination of multiple parameters on the same sample or testing up to 16 samples in parallel.
- Free of Maintenance & Calibration Costs: Solid-state LED optical system supplied factory pre-calibrated with no periodic maintenance required.
Supported Applications & Parameters
- Oils & Fats (Vegetable, Animal, Palm, Olive): Free Fatty Acids (Acidity), Peroxide Value (PV), p-Anisidine Value (AnV), Iodine Value (IV), Soaps.
- Frying Oils & Fried Snacks: Free Fatty Acids, Peroxide Value, Anisidine Value, Soaps, Acrylamide precursor sugars on potatoes.
- Fish Oil & Marine Lipids: Free Fatty Acids, Peroxide Value, Anisidine Value.
