Features
- Uses ISM® protocol digital probes (pH/Temp, pH/ORP/Temp)
- Scalable – up to 32 channels for wired version, up to 16 for wireless version
- Meets ISO 26323|IDF 213, the industry standard for determining dairy cultures’ acidification activity by continuous pH measurement
Benefits
- select the number of channels, the number of probes, and subsequently add or remove probes from the systems. It can be combined with wireless version.
- Ensures inter-batch kinetics consistency in compliance with ISO standards
- Reduces product development timelines because of the reactor-scale, efficient design and your choice of ferment
Applications
The iCinac Wired is used in many industries, and monitors the acidification activity of ferments and control of LAB fermentation reactors in:
- Dairy
- Fermented foods (LAB)
- Probiotics
- Ferment and bacterial culture production
The iCinac is also a useful tool in R&D, product and process development and quality control to:
- Find the most efficient starter for manufacturing needs
- Check batch consistency of the starter
- Determine the acid forming characteristics specific to the phylum studied
- Provide the insight needed for precise development, test, and process control of fermentation ingredients
- Define and control the appropriate inocula by characterizing the acid formation of a specific phylum and knowing the specific test parameters’ influence
