Portable, precise and affordable composition analysis of cow or goat and sheep milk. Results for fat, solids, protein, added water, density and lactose are displayed simultaneously in just 85 seconds! Features user-friendly operation, streamlined calibration and ultra-easy maintenance, providing reliable, objective results at a fraction of the cost of other automated methods.
Responding to the growing needs of the dairy industry to integrate field collection testing with laboratory analysis, the LactiCheck™ LC-01 provides fast, precise and affordable analysis of raw or processed milk and fluid milk products!
The LactiCheck™ LC-02 dual channel instrument is designed to analyze cow or goat milk (optional configuration for sheep or buffalo milk). Excellent correlation with recognized reference methods (both bench chemistry and automated methods) make the LC-02 easily integratable into established operating procedures.
Now available – the LactiCheck™ LC-02HF for higher fat samples up to 12%!
- Multi-parameter - Fat, Protein, SNF, Density, Added Water, and NEW Lactose
- Rapid Method - 85 seconds

Automated, Affordable Testing of Milk Composition
An ultra-user-friendly, affordable and automated system, the LactiCheck™ provides fat, solids not fat, protein and added water and lactose results simultaneously in just 85 seconds! A compact, closed unit featuring simple, push-button operation, the Model LC-02 is designed for testing both unprocessed and processed fluid milk products.
Improved Accuracy and Convenient Calibration
Based upon the latest advances in ultrasound spectroscopy, the LactiCheck™ provides an alternative to tedious, time-consuming, bench-chemistry methods for composition testing. Ease-of-use and reliability make it a good back-up for other automated systems as well! Featuring greater accuracy in fat determination, the dual channels
are factory calibrated for full fat and reduced fat bovine milk. New LactiCAL™ milk-based controls and simple, push-button procedures facilitate validation and calibration as required.
Affordable Approach to Real-Time Results
A practical alternative to previous options for milk composition testing, the straightforward simplicity, affordability and reliability of the LactiCheck™ bring the benefits of technology to you today!
- Artisanal Cheesemakers: Many cheesemakers had to rely exclusively upon costly tests and delays in results by sending samples to independent laboratories. Now real-time results are achievable on-site.
- Dairy Processors: The move from bench chemistry to automation has been outside of the budget of many small and mid-sized dairy processors. Costs of equipment, maintenance and training have been high – but today there is an affordable alternative.
- Large Dairy Processors: The LactiCheck™ is a cost-effective back-up to fully automated mid-infrared systems and can easily be integrated into satellite positions (milk receiving, production, etc.).
A Purchase Decision that Pays Off
Rapid, objective results and automated recording, reporting options save time, improving productivity.
- Minimize the “sneaker network” by screening incoming milk at the receiving station. Gain more in-depth profiles on producers while freeing up valuable lab resources.
- Make the break from bench-chemistry testing to automation and enable the laboratory to tackle other tasks such as allergen testing, air-borne contaminant issues, or more extensive screening of finished product.
- Save valuable time during product change-overs by giving Production at-line results. Reduce back-ups caused by heavy throughput, routine maintenance of other instruments or personnel issues in the lab!
Applications:
- Farm Testing: Portable, precise, simple measurement of raw co-mingled milk facilitates optimal herd management. User-friendly, robust and light-weight, the LactiCheck™ gives farmers feedback critical to practical herd management.
