The CDR FoodLab® performs quality control tests on all types of milk (low fat or full fat, pasteurised or raw milk) with no sample preparation, and dairy products (cheese, mozzarella, ricotta, yoghurt, butter) with minimal sample preparation.
The CDR OxiTester analyses olive oil, avocado oil, palm oil, essential oil etc. in real time to determine the Free Fatty Acid (FFA) concentration, the peroxide value and polyphenols for the subsequent assessment of quality with practical, fast and extremely accurate methods. CDR OxiTester is also able to measure K270 values and can therefore be used to identify the presence of rectified oil that may have been added to virgin olive oil. Comparative Laboratory tests in Italy indicate a high correlation between the principles deployed in the CDR OxiTester and traditional test methods.
Tests on vegetable purees and sauces can me made directly on the production line with the CDR FoodLab®. In 5 minutes you can determine important quality indicators and biological stress indicators:
The CDR FoodLab® is a true testing laboratory. The compact, self contained analyser, uses pre-vialed reagents and sophisticated photometric technology to perform quality control tests on a range of food products.
How Does the CDR FoodLab® Work?
Utilises photometric technology, LED emitters, reading cells and 37oC thermostated incubation cells
Uses a kit of pre-vialed, low toxicity, disposable reagents. Sold in packs of 10 tests, with 1 year shelf life
Pipettes allow for the collection of the correct sample volume
Built-in help function to guide even novice users through the analysis process
On-board printer for immediate access to printed test results

Beer
The CDR BeerLab® is the latest innovation in beer analysis. It’s precise, fast, and takes the guesswork out of the brewing process! Without specialist skills and with minimal sample pre-processing it’s possible to analyse for parameters such as wort colour and bitterness units through to more complex analysis like free amino nitrogen (FAN) in minutes, in your own brewery, and without using external laboratories.
CDR BeerLab® has been designed specifically for breweries, microbreweries and craft breweries to take the guesswork out of quality control. With the CDR BeerLab® you can analyse a wide group of parameters on beer using only one instrument, more rapidly than traditional methods, more reliably that using human senses, and more economically than engaging external laboratories. The CDR BeerLab® can be used by anyone and no specialist skills are required.
