According to Advanced Detection Systems (ADS), specific ferrous, nonferrous and stainless-steel metal-detection levels are affected by unique product characteristics. ADS says it offers a free product-testing service to determine optimal metal -detection levels for manufacturers’ specific applications. Use of the company’s product-testing service allows ADS to build its ProScan metal detector for the best performance in a manufacturer’s products. The service also simplifies startup of the metal detection system. Guaranteed detection levels and technical support provided for the life of the equipment are core components of ADS’ customer service. 414-672-0553

CEM Corp. says one of the easiest ways for dairy producers to increase profits is by improving process control through more accurate fat testing. Finding ways to reduce daily cream use, while still manufacturing quality product, is critical to keeping costs down. Even better is using equipment that not only tests incoming milk and cream, but also can test in-process products at every stage of production. The Oracle universal fat analyzer is capable of providing solids and fat results for all product types without the hassle and cost of recalibration or service issues such as tubes clogging or requiring dilutions. 704-821-7015

With CHEMetrics’ snap-and-read technology, packaging line operators can simply and quickly monitor hydrogen peroxide sterilization solution residuals in extended-shelf-life and aseptic packaging applications. The company says its hydrogen peroxide test kits provide precise, accurate and repeatable results in less than one minute and offer sensitivity at and below the critical concentration limit of 0.5 parts per million as set by FDA guidelines. With CHEMetrics’ new Vacu-vials snapper (A-0214), testing in bottles and cartons is even simpler. 800-356-3072

Shimadzu Scientific Instruments says its EDX-7000/8000 energy-dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer offers a simple way to screen for heavy metals in milk and other dairy products. A state-of-the-art semiconductor detector (SDD) enables precise, high-resolution analysis while increasing throughput and productivity. In addition, since it is electronically cooled, the SDD does not require liquid nitrogen, reducing operating costs and maintenance requirements. A wide measurement range and five primary filters enable highly sensitive analysis of trace elements, while a sample observation camera ensures precise sample positioning. A large sample chamber accommodates virtually any sample type. 410-381-1227
