Dairy processing runs on a handful of numbers. Fat and protein decide what you pay for milk, how you standardise it and when a batch is released. When those numbers drift, margin leaks away in giveaway, held product and repeat analysis. The LactoScope 500 FT-IR analyser from Perten, a PerkinElmer brand, is built so they don’t. 

One instrument for the whole product range 

Raw milk, cream, whey, concentrates, yoghurt and plant-based drinks are analysed on a single platform, with up to 15 parameters per sample and application-specific calibrations ready to load. The LactoScope 500’s repeatability data on cream, whey and protein concentrate confirmed that performance holds where samples get thick and solids run high, precisely where production labs lose the most time. 

Built for the pace of a production lab 

Analysis of a sample arrives in around 30 seconds or sooner, from one method across multiple products. A high-pressure pump flushes the flow path between samples for cleaner running and fewer interruptions. An integrated panel PC puts operation on one screen, and a two-hour background stability check keeps the instrument in control without a specialist on hand. Your own operators run it, shift after shift. 

Backed by 35 years of LactoScope FT-IR 

The LactoScope 500 carries more than three decades of dairy FT-IR experience, supported by Perten’s dairy applications specialists and PerkinElmer’s global service organisation. 

The measure of an effective analyser 

Independently verified accuracy, one method across multiple dairy products, and a result in half a minute that your own team can trust and act on: that is what the LactoScope 500 brings to the dairy laboratory. Fewer repeats, tighter standardisation and products released on the first result add up to margin protected on every litre.
