Food Texture Analyzer

Product Details

The CT3 is a low cost, but powerful, universal testing machine that offers both compression and tensile testing. It can calculate, through compression and tensile data, a number of physical properties that have proven to be highly correlated to human sensory evaluation of food and other consumer products. With six built-in test modes and ten memory slots for operator-protected tests with administrator rights, a wide choice of accessories and an optional software package, the CT-3 is perfect for most any physical testing requirements. The CT3 performs like a high end texture analyzer but at a fraction of the cost. Its uses can expand with your applications - or your testing imagination! The CT3''s easy-to-operate design will have your R&D and QC up and running in no time.FEATURES & BENEFITS • Choice of five load ranges up to 50kg • A variety of probes and accessories for new application opportunities • Choice of two adjustable base tables allows for for versatility of sample testing • Six available test modes plus a calibration check • Stores up to 10 additional customized test methods • Easy-to-read display and easy-to-use, intuitive controls • Provides a "real life" insight into physical properties • Texture Profile Analysis (TPA) specific for the Food Industry • USB and RS232 outputs • Conforms fully with GME and GMIA monographs for gelatin Bloom assessment; includes built-in Bloom Test function • Gelatin Bath System available for sample conditioning • Easiest-to-use Texture Analyzer in its class • Supplied with Texture Loader software to allow creation of up to 10 customized tests • Can be used with optional software, TexturePro CT, to easily create custom reports and graphsTYPICAL APPLICATIONSNon-Food Applications• Adhesives • Asphalt • Candles • Cosmetics • Creams • Detergent • Foams • Grease • Gum • Packaging • Paint • Personal Care • Polymers • Rubber Sealants • Silicone • Soap • Sponges • WaxFood Applications• Biscuits • Bread • Butter • Cakes • Candies • • Cheese • • Chocolate • Confectionery • Cookies • Crackers • Fruits • Gels/Gelatin • Margarines • Meat Products • Pet Foods • Pudding • Sauces • Snack Foods • Spread • Starch • SurimiPARAMETERS MEASURED • Elasticity • Hardness • Cohesiveness • Burst Strength • Breaking Point • Fracturability • Gel Strength• Ripeness • Yield Point • Spreadability • Tackiness • Consistency • Relaxation • Pliability • Adhesiveness • FirmnessFor further details please contact
