An ultra-user-friendly, affordable and automated system, the LactiCheck provides fat, solids not fat, protein and added water results simultaneously in just 85 seconds! A compact, closed unit featuring simple, push-button operation, the LC-02 is designed for testing both unprocessed and processed fluid milk products.

Based upon the latest advances in ultrasound spectroscopy, the LC-02 provides an alternative to tedious, time-consuming, bench-chemistry methods for composition testing. Ease-of-Use and reliability make it a good back-up for other automated systems as well! Featuring greater accuracy in fat determination, the dual channels are factory calibrated for full fat and reduced fat bovine milk,. The LACTICAL™ milk-based controls and simple, push-button procedures facilitate calibration validation as required.
A practical alternative to previous options for milk composition testing, the straightforward simplicity, affordability and reliability of the LactiCheck is a sound new resource: Artisanal Cheesemakers: Many cheesemakers had to send samples to independent laboratories for often costly testing and waited several days for results. Now real-time results are achievable on-site. Small to Mid-Sized Processors: The move from bench chemistry to automation has been outside of the budget of many dairy processors. Costs of equipment, maintenance and training have been high—but today there is an affordable alternative. Large Cooperatives: The LactiCheck is a cost-effective back-up to fully automated infrared systems. Prevent costly delays in the lab caused by routine maintenance and staff training regularly required by these large and complex systems.
Rapid, objective results and automated recording, reporting options save time, improving productivity. Minimize the “sneaker network” by screening incoming milk at the receiving station. Gain more in-depth profiles on producers while freeing up valuable lab resources. Make the break from bench-chemistry testing to automation and enable the laboratory to tackle other tasks such as allergen testing, air-borne contaminant issues, or more extensive screening of finished product. Save valuable time during product change-overs by giving Production at-line results. Reduce back-ups caused by heavy throughput, routine maintenance of other instruments or personnel issues in the lab!
