The ANKOM Dietary Fiber Analyzer creates a new standard for nutritional labeling, quality control, and research. By automating one of the most tedious analytical methods, the ANKOM analyzer reduces labor and per sample costs, while increasing accuracy and precision. An advanced computer controlled multichannel pump automates the addition of chemical solutions, enzymes, and rinses. Temperatures and agitation levels are controlled throughout the process, eliminating the need for multiple water baths and freeing up precious lab counter space.
