MilkoScreen™ analyses the product using FT-Infrared technology, assessing milk constituents, using absorption at different wavelengths in the infrared spectrum to detect the presence of specific parameters in milk like Fat, SNF and Protein.
Accuracy and repeatability of results are comparable with the chemical methods, but with MilkoScreen™, it takes far less time than conventional chemical methods. Results from MilkoScreen™ are accurate, direct and not calculated, unlike some contemporary techniques.
