Astor Multi – Multi-purpose centrifuge for dairy-food analyses

The Astor Multi is a versatile, digital benchtop centrifuge designed for laboratory dairy and food analyses, featuring precise temperature control and pre-set, unchangeable methods. It is primarily used for fat determination via Gerber, Mojonnier, and Babcock methods, as well as dissolution, sedimentation tests, and routine separations.
Key applications include:
Dairy Fat Analysis: Determination of fat in milk, cream, cheese, yogurt, and butter using established methods.
Food Analysis: Sedimentation and dissolution tests for various food samples.
Routine Laboratory Separations: General centrifugation needs.
Features & Capabilities:
Digital Control: Includes a digital display to set temperature, speed, and time.
Pre-set Methods: Specifically programmed for official Gerber, Mojonnier, and Babcock methods.
Temperature Control: Allows for precise temperature management within the internal chamber.
Capacity: Designed for versatility, handling multiple types of test samples (e.g., 8-place capacity for butyrometers)

Description

Astor Multi is a complete centrifuge with multiple applications for dairy and food analyses, such as Gerber, Mojonnier, Babcock, dissolution test, sedimentation test and normal separations. This new equipment includes a digital regulator with wide display that allows the user to set the desired temperature of the internal chamber, to adjust the centrifugal speed and even establish a duration time; pre-set values according to the official Gerber, Mojonnier and Babcock methods are stored in unchangeable special memories, so that the operator can easily recall them. Astor Multi has been studied to ensure the highest safety standards for the operator. 2 accessory rotors and specific tube holders are available: according to the needed methods/applications, the centrifuge can be properly configurated.
