Instrument Introduction

CT3 texture analyzerIt is an updated model from Brookfield Corporation in the United States, replacing QTS-25 and LFRA texture analyzers, and is the standard instrument for BLOOM testing methods in the gelatin industry (please refer to AOAC and BS757:1975 standards).

CT3 texture analyzerThe host is similar to LFRA; The accessories are basically compatible with QTS-25 and LFRA texture analyzers, with dozens of probes and testing fixtures for you to choose from. The sturdy and durable design can provide users with laboratory testing data and production environment testing data. It can be operated using a sophisticated console for standalone use, or connected to a computer for software operation.

CT3 texture analyzerAccurate quantitative description of the texture characteristics of the sample can be made. It uses a unified testing method and is an accurate quantitative measuring instrument, eliminating the subjective influence of human and personal senses. Its measurement method meets the requirements of many international and national standards, such as AACC (American Association of Grain Chemists), AOAC (International gel Testing Association), ISO, BS757:1975, GB6783-94, etc.

CT3 texture analyzerIt has a specialized design for small and medium-sized ranges, highlighting high precision and serving as a standard instrument for texture analysis in the food industry. The specially designed Texture Profile Analysis mode is particularly suitable for food testing (requiring support from TexturePro CT software).

CT3 texture analyzerGel strength, hardness, tenderness, brittleness, stickiness, resilience, elastic coefficient, friction coefficient, yield stress, spreading, adhesion, relaxation, softness, chewiness, maturity, breaking strength and many other parameters can be tested.

CT3 texture analyzerMain application areas: (including but not limited to the following)
——Food: gel, biscuits, cream, cheese, candy, bread, fruit, vegetables, butter, meat, chips, cereal, etc.
——Industrial materials: packaging materials, adhesives, asphalt, rubber, foaming agents, oils, adhesives, coatings, paraffin, etc.
——Personal care categories: lotion, lipstick, eye black, powder, eye shadow pen, face cream, soap, etc.
——Drug categories: capsules, drug hardness, ointments, thickening excipients, etc.
