Fish Fat Meter
Distell's Upgraded Fish Fat Meter... Is Now Available.
The Hand Held Instrument is
placed in contact with the fish. A button is pressed, and the Fat / Oil
content of the sample is displayed on the digital readout and can be
output to database in real time or as historical data.
More Portable... Internal batteries... No External Battery or Connecting Lead.
New Microprocessor... User Menu... No External Battery or Connecting Lead.
New Microprocessor... User Menu... Comprising...
measurement mode with flexible measurement routines. Easy product /
calibration selection. Enhanced Data Download, Real time data Mode and
research mode.
Increased Range... Measurements from 1-80% (Where applicable).

Data management Software... Provides analysis and reporting functions... ability to create batches of data. Analyse data, Export data.
The Fat Meter Is... Non-Destructive and Non-Invasive, Operating Equally well on live, dead or defrosted fish.
The Fat/ Oil
Content of Large, Numbers of Fish Samples can be Determined quickly,
providing processing and quality control information.
- Unrivaled technology, simple and easy to use
- Accurate rapid measurements, non destructive
- Calibrations available for range of fish species.
Principle of Operation...
The
Fat / Oil Content of Fish is related to the water content of the
natural fish and the measurement of one parameter serves in determining
the other. The Fat meter uses a micro strip sensor, which is sensitive
to the water content of the fish. The information thus obtained is
internally processed to give a calibrated reading of the fat content.
Research into the
principles of the instrument were first conducted by MAFF's Torry
research station. Aberdeen, Scotland... Using a Large quantity of fish
of different specifies. Since then many research projects using the
fat meter have been carried out around the world. Technical papers on
the meter and related topics, have been published.
