In the following table are listed the benefits of Lactoscan, compared with a chemical fat testing method such as Gerber:

Features Lactoscan Chemical fat testing
Analysis time Approx. 90, 60, 30 sec. > 12 minutes
Parameters fat, protein, lactose, solids-non-fat, freezing point depression, added water, milk temperature, solids, density. Fat only
Operation Operator independent
For non-skilled users
Very operator dependent
For skilled laboratory personnel
Measurement Automatic Manual
Stability Simple and robust construction and no human errors Includes many accessories in testing and human handling
Accuracy 2% CV ~ 2.5% CV
Sample handling No sample treatment - analysis of cold samples Centrifuging, water bath, chemicals
Reagents No reagents Hazardous chemicals — e.g.sulphuric acid
Technology Ultrasonic technology Approved reference method
Safety Offers operator safety Not safe to use
Value of ownership Low cost per analysis and quick adjustment in production for optimal production economy. For Cost per Milk Sample Comparison click here Costs for glass bottles, butyrometers, centrifuge, chemicals, labor and long testing time => delay inproduction adjustment
