When leading German laboratory equipment manufacturers combine their expertise, more than technology is created – it’s a partnership built on trust, precision, and efficiency.
In feed analysis, every step matters. From preparation to evaluation, precision determines quality, safety, and reliability.
With combined know-how from Fritsch, C. Gerhardt, Schmidt + Haensch, EmcLab, and Memmert, a continuous, high-precision workflow emerges – setting new standards for reproducible results in feed and food laboratories worldwide.
Every precise analysis starts with a homogeneous sample.
Fritsch provides advanced laboratory mills and sample dividers that guarantee consistent particle sizes and uniform mixing.
Only through exact homogenization can the following analytical steps deliver truly reliable data.
The fibre analysis according to the Weende and Van Soest methods is a key process for determining raw fibre, NDF, ADF, and ADL values.
C. Gerhardt systems automate this complex process to ensure reproducibility and accuracy – essential for assessing feed digestibility and nutritional value.
For moisture and dry matter determination, laboratories rely on Memmert Universal Ovens, such as the UF55. With a temperature range of +20 to +300 °C, adjustable air circulation, and energy-efficient control technology, Memmert ensures uniform and gentle drying of sensitive samples.
Precise temperature stability guarantees reproducible results – regardless of sample size or material.
The Ewers starch analysis determines starch content via optical rotation.
Schmidt + Haensch’s polarimetric systems combine state-of-the-art optics and electronics to provide fast, accurate, and standardized results – a critical factor for evaluating grain and feed composition.
In the final stage, photometric evaluation with Emclab photometers provides accurate quantification of chemical compounds.
The robust design and high reproducibility of the devices ensure consistent and dependable data, supporting laboratories in quality assurance and process optimization.
With over 500 years of combined laboratory expertise, this collaboration represents the best of German engineering:
From homogenization to fibre and starch analysis, drying, and final evaluation, this cooperation demonstrates how innovation, quality, and sustainability come together in practice.
