Implementing precise laboratory and scientific equipment is essential for maintaining safety, quality, and regulatory compliance within the food and agriculture sectors. Sourced through our Food and Feed division, we supply highly specialised testing solutions from global leaders like CEM and Gerhardt. Whether determining moisture content or executing complex extractions, our analytical hardware from Memmert ensures your commercial operations deliver accurate, repeatable data.
Laboratory And Scientific Equipment
Specialised Laboratory and Scientific Equipment for Food Production
Our curated collection of testing hardware delivers high-capacity performance and operational flexibility for technical environments:
- Nitrogen and Protein Determination: Utilise instruments like the Gerhardt Kjeldahl apparatus to safely automate digestion and distillation processes in high-volume agricultural testing laboratories.
- Moisture and Fat Analysis: Deploy rapid extraction systems from CEM to verify the nutritional composition of dairy and meat products, preventing costly product recalls and ensuring compliance with national health standards.
- Sample Preparation: Incorporate Kinesis Advantec extraction thimbles and Soxhlet glassware to maintain sterile and efficient sample handling during intensive feed quality assessments.
How to Choose the Right Laboratory and Scientific Equipment
Selecting the correct testing machinery for your facility requires evaluating several technical parameters:
- Analytical Range: Evaluate whether your facility requires rapid moisture analysers for quick assembly line checks or highly precise muffle furnaces for detailed nutritional profiling.
- Automation Capabilities: Determine the daily sample throughput required by your quality control team to specify systems that automate digestion or distillation, reducing manual handling errors.
- Regulatory Compliance: Verify that the instruments align with specific industry mandates for dairy, meat, or agricultural testing to guarantee your reported data is legally defendable.
Complete Your Quality Assurance Workflow
Versatile equipment is essential for comprehensive facility management. To further optimise your workspace, we recommend exploring these related categories:
- Measuring and observing and testing instruments: Pair your primary preparation hardware with exact measuring devices to accurately quantify sugar, pH, and conductivity in food samples.
- Laboratory supplies and fixtures: Ensure your food testing facility is fully equipped with the necessary glass crucibles, pipettes, and specific consumable fixtures for daily operations.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of a Kjeldahl apparatus in food testing?
A Kjeldahl system is specifically designed to determine the nitrogen and protein content in food and feed samples. It automates the complex digestion and distillation process, providing highly accurate nutritional data for commercial labelling and compliance.
How often should extraction thimbles be replaced?
Extraction thimbles, such as those made from cellulose, are generally designed for single use to prevent cross-contamination between different food batches. Always follow strict laboratory protocols regarding consumable replacement to maintain data integrity.
Does your facility supply bulk testing hardware for regional agricultural labs?
Yes, we manage comprehensive B2B supply agreements for regional feed mills, dairy producers, and government testing bodies. Our team can coordinate bulk deliveries of analytical systems and preparation consumables to keep your quality assurance processes fully operational.
