The Ultimate Milk Analyzer for Optimal Dairy Products Valorization
The DairySpec FT is an FTIR milk analyzer that enables precise and reliable analysis of the chemical composition of milk and dairy products. From raw milk to processed liquid and semi-liquid matrices—cream, ice cream, yogurt, whey, permeate, retentate, and flavored milk—the DairySpec FT ensures rigorous quality control for dairy processors.
Capable of analyzing up to 64 parameters simultaneously (fat, protein, total solids, lactose, casein, etc.), it delivers significant time savings and is the optimal solution for quality control of both raw materials and processed products.
The DairySpec FT is ICAR-certified for cow’s milk analysis, guaranteeing accuracy and reliability in line with international standards. Equipped with the same technology as the Bentley FTS, also ICAR-certified for analysis of goat’s and sheep’s milk, the DairySpec FT offers comparable performance for these types of milk, making it a versatile, high-performance tool for dairy laboratories.
Versatile FTIR Milk Analyzer for Dairy
The DairySpec FT FTIR milk analyzer stands out for its ease of use and versatility, making it the ideal solution for fast, reliable dairy composition testing across raw and processed products.
Ease of Use
- No complex sample preparation — place the sample under the pipette and start the analysis.
- Up to 64 parameters measured simultaneously in < 1 minute.
- Real-time, reagent-free spectral standardization for stable calibration transfer, enhanced robustness, and qualitative/adulteration screening.
- Embedded sample preheating for consistent, reproducible results.
- Fully translated, user-friendly software interface.
- Comprehensive system monitoring with alerts for errors or suspicious results.
- Automatic between-run cleaning and programmable end-of-day cleaning for maximum time savings.
- Fully customizable software interface and workflows tailored to laboratory needs.
- LED status guidance indicating instrument state in real time.
- Built-in quick-assist tools for startup and troubleshooting.
Versatility
- Modular system, upgradeable with an autosampler to reach up to 300 samples/hour.
- Dual-pump architecture (high-pressure and peristaltic) to handle liquids and high-viscosity products.
- Optional dilution balance to prepare viscous samples prior to analysis.
- Custom calibration development available on request.
- Centralized database / LIMS connectivity.
- Compatible with barcode/RFID sample ID for full traceability; data stored and displayed in customizable reports.

DairySpec Combi
The FTIR milk analyzer DairySpec FT can be combined with the SomaCount FC to provide a complete, simultaneous analysis of milk chemical composition and somatic cell counting. This automated system is designed for dairy laboratories and central milk testing facilities that require reliable, accurate results. Three versions are available: 100, 200 and 300 analyses/hour.
Agiflex 270
When combined with the DairySpec FT, the Agiflex 270 enables the full standardization of sample preparation.
This compact unit is designed for upside-down agitation of all types of containers (sample trays/baskets, vials, and tubes), with an adjustable speed of 17 to 52 rpm, ensuring optimal homogenization prior to analysis.
