FOSS was founded in 1956 as N. Foss Electric A/S by Nils Foss
FOSS develops rapid, reliable and dedicated analytical solutions for routine testing
More than 100 patents
More than 20 world first introductions
More than 130 Master of Science and more than 20 PhDs
Nils Foss, founder

4. NIR or FTIR
A Fourier Transform Infrared spectrometer (FT-IR) is the infrared absorption spectroscopy method preferably used to measure constituents in liquid samples such as milk and wine. The method is easy, fast and accurate, combining high sensitivity with a full spectrum, enabling instrument standardization and the use of calibrations for multiple instruments
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is an accurate and rapid analysis method that is well suited for quantitative determination of the major constituents in most types of food and agricultural products. This reliable and non-destructive analysis method uses the wavelength region from ~750nm to 2500nm of the electromagnetic spectrum and can be configured for both transmission and diffuse reflection measurements.
FTIR – transmitance and works well for liquid
NIR – mostly reflectansee and works well for non homogwnuos sample

5. Milk Applications Milk Cream Whey Yoghurt Fortified Milk & Whey Quark
Dessert & Ice Cream
