FOSS makes fibre analysis more simple
Crude and detergent fibre analysis methods can now be simplified with a new FiberCap capsule for the FOSS Fibertec™ FiberCap fibre extraction system.
The new capsule will generate results comparable to the official crucible
method (ISO 6865 & AOAC 978.10) used for crude and detergent fibre methods
for both feed and forage. This new capsule is also suitable to match the results
of the filter paper method (AOAC 920.39) for forage samples.
The FiberCap
system was originally developed to mirror the official procedure AOAC 920.39
based on filtration using filter papers. The new capsule now extends it to cover
all common methods. Product manager, Elizabet Frankenius said: “We are delighted
that FOSS, with its range of Fibertec and FiberCap systems is now covering the
whole market, from high to low end regarding both price and
capacity.”

semi-automatic fibre determination system for hot or cold extraction methods,
