Gerber Centrifuge

Centrifuges gerber centrifuge is a specialized laboratory instrument used in the dairy industry for the quantitative analysis of milk composition, particularly the measurement of milk fat content. It operates on the principle of centrifugal force, which separates the milk into its various components, including fat, skim milk, and water. The fat content is a critical parameter in dairy quality control, affecting factors like flavor, texture, and shelf life of dairy products. The Gerber method involves mixing a specific volume of milk with sulfuric acid and amyl alcohol, causing the fat to separate and form a distinct layer. Our gerber centrifuge then spins the sample to enhance the separation, and the fat content is determined by measuring the volume of the fat layer relative to the total volume of the sample
