Global innovation for salt analysis in the food industry: BIOFISH 7000 SALT, pocket-sized, digitalized and sustainable sensor
- BIOLAN Microbiosensores, a world leader in biosensor technology applied to the food sector, has just launched its new development for the quantification of the SALT
- BIOFISH 7000 SALT is a unique device because it is connected to the cloud, faster, more accurate, versatile in the sample to be measured, and quantifies salt by measuring sodium, a real factor of interest for consumer health.
After the successes achieved with the solutions for the quantification of histamine in fish and sulphite in crustaceans, BIOLAN launches the BIOFISH 7000 SALT, a revolutionary technology that aims to become a reference in the analysis of SALT in all segments of the food industry worldwide.
The BIOFISH 7000 SALT is a simple-to-use potentiometric instrument that allows you to determine the amount of salt - by sodium quantification - in less than 2 minutes at any point in the value chain. Its portability, the fact that it does not use hazardous reagents, its speed, accuracy and wide range of measurement matrices make it a very competent tool, but if you add to this the versatility to quantify other parameters of interest such as histamine or sulphite in the same device, it is unrivalled.
The device is capable of measuring in a wide variety of matrices, from fresh fish, cooked fish, canned fish, salted anchovy, fish meal, and crustaceans. The BIOFISH 7000 SALT quantifies salt concentrations from 0-15%, or in other words for a range from 0-6000 mg Na+/100g.
Knowing the concentration of salt in food is important for the health of the consumer, since a high level of sodium in the diet is a risk factor for high blood pressure. In addition, salt is commonly used in routine food handling to prevent and control disease.
Once again, BIOLAN's objective is to facilitate stakeholders along the entire value chain, resulting in increased competitiveness, efficiency and profitability for the food industry.
