WATERLAB, water activity analyzer.

A high-tech water activity (aW) meter that meets all the needs of food technologists and researchers working on optimizing food longevity. Waterlab is designed for all types of customers, from small analytical laboratories to large companies. It is characterized by ease of use, speed, and analytical precision.

The shelf life of packaged food products is based on measuring water activity, a topic that is increasingly attracting the attention of both manufacturers and end consumers.

More attention is being paid to consumer safety in terms of preventing the risk of toxins in food.

For the food industry, it is crucial to produce packaged foods that retain as much as possible their nutritional characteristics, original physical properties such as texture, crispness, and aroma. It is also crucial to achieve longer shelf lives without the risk of having to recall product batches from the market due to unwanted bacterial growth, which can damage a company’s reputation.

Flash titrator, Hyperlab analyzers, enzymatic and colorimetric kits.

Titrations are a common analytical technique in the food industry for determining pH, titratable acidity, ascorbic acid, chloride, nitrogen, protein (by the Kjeldahl method), etc.

The FLASH titrator is a top solution for titration and one of our best-selling products.

Enzymatic analysis is a common practice in the food industry for analyzing products such as dairy products, eggs, meat, fruit juices, beer, milk, etc. They are used to determine sugars, organic acids, and other compounds – sulfites, phenols, ions, etc.

Enzymatic analysis, based on high-quality purified enzymes, allows for precise and specific measurements of analyte characteristics, even in complex matrices, as the reading of spectrophotometric absorption is linked to the concentration of different analytes (Lambert-Beer law).

Our ready-to-use liquid, stable, enzymatic, and colorimetric kits, used with HYPERLAB automated analyzers, help laboratories and food companies standardize analyses and prevent human errors. Additionally, automated analyzers enable lower costs compared to manual methods.

The kits also maximize the quality of the production process by allowing precise and fast control of raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products.
