Brookfield CT3 Texture Analyzer

The CT3 is a rugged yet compact bench top instrument that can be carried out to the production floor and still operate with precision. With versatile test capability that is easily mastered in a few minutes by an operator, the CT3 becomes a powerful tool for both R&D and QC.

The principle of operation of the CT3 Texture Analyzer is to subject a sample to compression forces using a probe, or tension forces using grips. With controlled compression or tension forces, you are able to imitate almost all conditions imposed on a wide range of food products, personal care products and industrial materials. The resistance of the material to these forces is measured by a calibrated load cell which is reported in either grams or Newtons. The forces measured will be a function of the properties of the sample and all the parameters of the test method. Such measures provide a “real life” insight into the physical properties of a product, information that can be valuable in maintaining consistent product quality while minimizing waste in production.

Using Texture Loader Software and a personal computer, you can create and store inside the CT3 up to 10 customized test methods unique for your own samples. TexturePro CT Software is also available for full computer control, unlocking even greater power for data gathering analysis.
