Keeping Quality Control Within Reach

Jun 04 2010

Stable Micro Systems is extending its portfolio with the launch of the TA.XTExpress texture analyser. A user-friendly, costeffective piece of apparatus, the TA.XTExpress makes texture analysis accessible to smaller manufacturers, offering-easy-tointerpret and reliable data relating to a range of small and/or lightweight applications. Possible tests include penetration, texture profile analysis, fracturing, cutting, extensibility and stickiness. The TA.XTExpress analyser comes with a choice of two software packages depending on the extent of analysis required.

The TA.XTExpress can be configured to the user’s individual requirements, so the data it collects form a valuable source of information for product development and quality control. The TA.XTExpress can be used online or in the laboratory, allowing manufacturers to assess textural quality, identify source and batch variation and predict consumer acceptability. The instrument offers a loadcell capacity of 5kg and has a speed range of 0.1 – 10.00mm/s. Standard textural parameters can be measured with Stable Micro Systems’ Expression software. For post-analysis capabilities, users should opt for the Exponent Lite Express software package, which is a project-based data recording and analysis software.

Jo Smewing, Applications Manager at Stable Micro Systems, commented: “Given the diversity of today’s laboratory industry and the current economic climate, the TA.XTExpress is being welcomed as a straightforward entry level instrument, which means texture analysis is no longer the preserve of large companies with deep R&D or QA budgets. This launch provides manufacturers with the benefits of objective, repeatable product testing, without a large capital outlay.”
