Optimize your lab with a cost-effective, high-impact testing workflow

April 9, 2025

Are your lab techs analyzing food and feed powders with outdated testing equipment and methods? This can often result in the slowing of your R&D efforts, providing inconsistent batches, and increasing quality assurance frustrations, not just with productivity, but most importantly, accuracy.

As the saying goes “Why work harder when you can work smarter?” The good news is that there is an economical solution without overspending or overcomplicating your workflow! By pairing the Microtrac BEL Belsorp Mini X with the Erweka SVM II 5-in-1 Tapped Density Tester, you create a cost-effective yet high-impact testing workflow.

So, what are these low-profile, benchtop instruments and how exactly can they optimize your lab?

• The Belsorp Mini X is designed using the BET method to determine the amount of gas adsorbed onto the surface of your powders, adsorption behavior along with pore volume and size.
• The Erweka SVM II offers five density tests allowing you to better understand how your powders pack, settle and flow: critical for dosing accuracy, packaging efficiency and downstream manufacturing performance.

Together, this benchtop combo empowers your food and feed lab techs to predict and solve powder flow issues; optimize formulations, reduce batch variability and waste all while meeting food safety regulatory standards with complete confidence.

Whether you are upgrading your current workflow or building out new testing capabilities, the Belsorp Mini X and SVM II offer the flexibility and precision today’s food, and feed labs need.

At ATS Scientific Inc. we have helped labs across Canada bring these tools into their day-to-day operations with expert support, training, and integration guidance.
