Product catalog summary
Introduction
The document introduces the world's first high-throughput analyzer capable of simultaneous differential somatic cell count (DSCC) and total somatic cell count (SCC), aimed at enhancing service offerings for improved mastitis management in dairy farming.

7th Generation Technology
The FossomaticTM 7 DC represents the 7th generation of the FossomaticTM testing platform, featuring design improvements for easier maintenance, cleaning, and reduced operational costs. It boasts a low working factor of 150, ensuring consistent result repeatability. The modular design facilitates quicker maintenance, and the sample conveyor system eliminates the need for compressed air, allowing effective cleaning. Options for manual or automatic reagent mixing are available, and rinse liquid can be refilled without stopping the instrument.

Operational Efficiency
Advanced networking software enables control of multiple instruments from a single desktop, saving time and ensuring consistent performance across different locations.

Sample Type and Parameters
The analyzer is designed for raw cow milk, measuring both SCC and DSCC using flow cytometry technology.

Specifications
  • Measuring range: 0 – 10 million cells/ml
  • Performance range: SCC and DSCC 50K – 1.5 million
  • Repeatability: CV < 8% for 50-99k SCC/ml, CV < 6% for 100-299k SCC/ml, CV < 4% for 300-499k SCC/ml, CV < 3% for 500-1500k SCC/ml
  • DSCC: Sd < 5.6% at 50K SCC, Sd < 3.0% at 100K SCC
  • Accuracy: < 10% relative mean difference from DMSCC
  • Carry-over: < 1% relative

Sample Handling
Unpreserved raw milk must be fresh and less than 4 days old, while preserved samples must be less than 5 days old, using Bronopol as a preservative. Milk samples should be stored at 2-6 °C, with preserved samples allowed to rise to room temperature during transportation.

Analysis Capacity
The analyzer can process 100 to 600 samples per hour, with a sample intake of 2.5 ml (programmable between 2.0 – 5.0 ml).

Standards and Approvals
The Fossomatic™ 7 DC is CE-labelled and complies with various directives and regulations, including EMC, LVD, Machinery Safety, CLP, WEEE, and packaging directives. It also complies with AOAC, ISO 13366-2 / IDF 148-2:2006, and has pending validations with EURL/Microval and FDA NCIMS.
