Funke-Gerber LactoStar Milk Analyzer | Automatic Dairy Composition Tester-Labcan Scientific

Product Description

Product Introduction

LactoStar is an automatic laboratory dairy analyzer developed by Germany’s century-old brand Funke-Gerber, designed for fast composition detection of raw cow milk and natural dairy samples. The instrument adopts dual measurement technology: RedBox thermal measurement and BlueBox optical-impedance sensing. With one sample injection, multiple dairy composition indicators can be obtained quickly, and milk freezing point & density data are calculated automatically.

Equipped with automatic cleaning and auto zero calibration functions, it features a color LCD screen. Up to 20 sets of calibration profiles for different samples can be saved. Switching between different milk samples does not require repeated calibration. It balances high-throughput testing and long-term measurement stability, widely adopted by dairy industries worldwide.

Guining (Shanghai) Lab Equipment Co., Ltd. is the authorized distributor of Funke-Gerber in China. We supply original German complete units, genuine spare parts, installation & commissioning, operator training and local after-sales maintenance services.

Working Principle

RedBox (Thermal Measurement): Measures Fat and SNF (Solids-Not-Fat)
BlueBox (Optical + Impedance Sensing): 4-band turbidity optics plus impedance detection for Protein, Lactose and Minerals
The system automatically computes Freezing Point and Density based on measured components.
