Fibre analysis methods


 

Foss announces a new capsule for the Fibertec FiberCap fibre extraction system. The new capsule will generate results comparable to the official crucible method (ISO 6865 & AOAC 978.10) used for crude and detergent fibre methods for both feed and forage. This new capsule is also suitable to match the results of the filter paper method (AOAC 920.39) for forage samples. The capsule extends the FiberCap system which was originally developed to mirror the official procedure AOAC 920.39 based on filtration using filter papers. Laboratories using the crucible method can now also take advantage of the widely recognised benefits of the FiberCap stem including improved accuracy through a simplified procedure that avoids sample transfer. Filtration is done in seconds for all sample types and a modular system allows up to 72 samples to be extracted simultaneously.
