Rapid, Accurate Fat & Moisture Analysis

    Winner of the 2001 R&D 100 Award


    Winner of the 2003 NSPE New Product Award

    Applications

    Beef, Butter & margarine, Cheese, Condiments, Cookies, Crackers, Ice cream, Deboned poultry, Petfood, Powdered products, Snack foods, Sour cream, Yogurt, and more!

  • AOAC-approved method
  • Results in minutes
  • Determine free and chemically-bound fat
  • No solvents
  • No frequent maintenance calibrations

The award-winning SMART Trac Fat and Moisture Analyzer provides a direct measurement of total fat, including both free and chemically bound fat in solids, liquids and slurries. The system uses a combination of microwave and NMR technology to provide test precision to 0.01% without the use of hazardous solvents. Unlike indirect methods such as NIR, SMART Trac measures fat throughout the sample, yielding an accurate analysis that is not dependent on sample uniformity.

Fast, accurate fat and moisture results have never been so easy to achieve!

1. Dry your sample in the SMART System5.

2. Roll up the sample and place in a CEM Trac Tube.

3. Place in the NMR portion of the system and view your results in less than 60 seconds!

Fast & Accurate

The SMART Trac System uses a combination of proprietary microwave drying technology and NMR for a direct, accurate analysis of fat and moisture in minutes, giving you more time to make adjustments to your process and reduce out-of-specification products.

Environmentally-Friendly

The SMART Trac does not use solvents or other hazardous chemicals.

Easy-to-Use

You don't have to be a chemist to get accurate results. The SMART Trac does not require frequent calibration like NIR and FTIR instruments. It is not affected by changes in the color or texture of the sample, nor is it dependent on sample uniformity. SMARTWare™ software stores methods and test results and guides you through tests.


Accessories ^top of page^

For optimum performance, use only genuine CEM Trac film, Trac tubes and sample pads in the SMART Trac System.


Trac Film & Tubes

CEM's proprietary Trac film and tubes are proton-free components specifically designed to be used with the SMART Trac and will not interfere with the NMR analysis. They are manufactured to the highest standards to ensure accurate results.

Sample Pads

CEM sample pads consistently provide the test accuracy and precision demanded for Process and Quality Control. We manufacture our sample pads in a controlled environment to avoid excess moisture, which can cause erratic and inconsistent numbers. Our pads are tested to ensure they meet strict requirements for absorbency, moisture content and mechanical strength. They are approved for use in AOAC methods and are manufactured according to ISO-9002 standards.

CEM offers

  • an automatic replenishment program
  • yearly contracts
  • volume discounts
