MultiScan Series - Near Infrared Analysers

Next Instruments MultiScan - Model Series 3000X - Analyser for Moisture and Fat Measurement

The Series 3000X Analyser is an advanced Near Infrared Transmission analyser engineered for precise application in sectors such as food production, dairy, and oil seed processing. Operating in the 720 to 1100nm range, this instrument employs a diode array spectrometer with various sampling systems tailored to different industry needs. Notably, the S1000 model extends its functionality by measuring both moisture and fat content concurrently through a robust 5mm powder cell. The device is equipped with an integrated touch screen tablet PC that simplifies operations and features an Autocalibration function for enhanced accuracy. Users benefit from the NTAS software, facilitating calibration development, ensuring the analyser remains on the cutting edge of technology in analytical measurement.

Next Instruments MultiScan - Model Series 3000 - Food Analyser - NIR Spectrometer for Food Composition Analysis

The Series 3000 Food Analyser is an advanced Near-Infrared (NIR) spectrometer engineered for the precise assessment of key food components such as protein, fat, water, sugar, and alcohol. This versatile instrument is distinguished by its rotating sample drawer, which efficiently gathers Near Infrared Transmission spectra across a substantial surface area to enhance analytical accuracy. It can accommodate a diverse range of materials, including granules, powders, liquids, slurries, emulsions, films, and solids, thereby extending its application across various sectors in the food industry. Calibration of the device has been demonstrated for specific uses, such as measuring fat and moisture in dairy products, evaluating meat samples, and analyzing compounds in skim milk, amongst others. This spectrometer thus offers a robust solution for comprehensive food quality analysis through precise compound measurement.

NutraScan - Automated In Vitro Digestion System

Next Instruments NutraScan - Artificial Gut for Digestive Simulation

The NutraScan Artificial Gut is an advanced system developed to simulate the digestive process in both humans and animals. It replicates the enzymatic digestion of food by using a series of incubations at physiological pH and temperature that mimic various stages of digestion, including buccal, gastric, and pancreatic phases. This system sequentially hydrolyzes proteins, fats, and starches using hydrolytic enzymes similar to those found in the mouth, stomach, and small intestine. NutraScan provides valuable insights into the digestive mechanisms and nutrient bioavailability, making it a crucial tool for researchers and scientists studying gastrointestinal processes and food digestion. The system is valuable for applications such as analyzing the digestion of different food types, like breakfast cereals and rice, offering important data for nutritional science and food technology industries.
