Stable Micro Systems always innovating and creating new peripherals to keep ahead of the competition. From the simplest to most complex design, Stable Micro Systems ensures the quality of each probe is the best.
There are several accessories that only available on Stable Micro Systems that might be helpful to you.
Acoustic Envelope Detector
No other brand has yet been able to record the sound of texture analysis. It also simultaneously measures the force, distance, and time. This is useful if you want to know what is the particular sound of your ‘gold standard’ product, especially crunchy / crispy products.
Video Synchronisation
A few other brands also have video capture kits but they are very big and expensive. Stable Micro Systems Video Capture also can be synchronised automatically with the sound recording from above, and force-distance-time data for replay. It can collect video footage at up to 50 frames per second so you can see at certain points in the graph what is actually happening to your sample.
Penetrometer
Stable Micro Systems is currently the only one that has a penetrometer accessory for the texture analyser. A penetrometer is a device that provides a rapid empirical method for measuring the denseness, compaction, consistency, or penetrability of a wide variety of solid, semisolid, food, and non-food
products.
Temperature Probe & Cabinet
Our texture analyser is also able to measure temperature which is synchronised with the graph. We also have temperature cabinets to keep the sample temperature from –40°C to +180°C.
Automation
If you have a lot of samples to test this accessory suits you. Multiple test samples may be
loaded before testing. The setup is Quick and easy. Testing can be automated with minimal operator involvement.
IDDSI Test
The traditional way to test food for dysphagia is still manually using fork and spoon. However, manual testing gives unreliable subjective results which can be eliminated with the use of texture analyser. The ability to generate internal frameworks of numbers for each IDDSI funnel category means common methodologies can be shared across sites/labs for comparative testing.
Egg Quality Tester
The Texture Analyser can also measure egg quality by producing 14 parameters in less than 4 minutes.
- Air Cell Height
- Whole Egg Weight
- Shell Breaking Strength
- Shell Deformation
- Egg Albumen Height
- Haugh Unit
- Egg Classification
- Dry Shell Weight
