FTS Combi

Product catalog summary

Introduction
The Bentley NexGen Series represents advanced technology in automated milk analysis, capable of processing 500 samples per hour. It consists of two main modules: the Bentley Flow Cytometer (FCM) for somatic cell count and the Bentley Fourier Transform Spectrometer (FTS) for milk composition analysis, including fat, protein, and lactose.

Technology Overview
The FTS uses a Fourier Transform Spectrometer to capture the complete infrared absorption spectrum of milk, allowing for comprehensive component analysis. The Somacount FCM employs laser-induced fluorescence for accurate somatic cell counting, providing early warnings for mastitis.

Company Background
Bentley Instruments has over 20 years of experience in developing reliable dairy analysis equipment, focusing exclusively on this field. The company offers extensive support and service, including remote diagnostics and monitoring.

System Features
The NexGen integrates FCM and FTS modules into a single software platform with a user-friendly interface. It supports various data output options and exceeds international standards for milk analysis. The system is designed for high throughput and future-proofing, allowing for additional metrics as needed.

Applications
The NexGen is suitable for dairy laboratories requiring precise and reliable instruments for up to 500 tests per hour. It meets consumer and regulatory demands for detailed milk analysis.

Diagnostic and Reporting Capabilities
The system provides real-time milk quality analysis and reporting, with customizable reports and archived data for future reference. Remote diagnostic capabilities allow for efficient troubleshooting and system monitoring.
