(Matthews, North Carolina) October 27, 2009 - CEM Corporation, a leading global provider of microwave laboratory instrumentation, is pleased to announce the introduction of the new SMART Trac II, a next generation fat and moisture analyzer that analyzes twice as many samples per day as its predecessor and is more accurate than competing technologies. The new system will debut at the CEM booth #S6326 at the Worldwide Food Expo in Chicago this week.

The SMART Trac II combines advanced NMR technology with the reliable drying capability of the SMART Turbo Microwave Analyzer for fast, accurate fat and moisture analysis without solvents or costly calibrations. The new system features an 8 second NMR analysis for fats and oils that is not dependent on sample uniformity, nor is it affected by changes in color or texture.

Smaller and faster than its predecessor, the SMART Trac II uses 95% less energy than conventional techniques. A built-in LED shows the system’s status at a glance. The SMART Trac II is AOAC-compliant and methods are easy to transfer from unit to unit.
