Milk somatic cell counter Milkotester MCA001

automatic

Product overview
Milkotester MCA001 is an automated somatic cell counter for raw milk that uses fluorescence microscopy to assess the inflammatory status of the mammary gland and support mastitis detection in dairy cattle. It provides objective somatic cell counts from stained milk samples delivered on disposable chips.

Key features

• Automated fluorescence-based somatic cell counting for raw milk.
• Integrated direct fluorescent microscope.
• Fully automated analysis of stained samples on disposable chips.
• Removes subjectivity of manual microscopic counts.
• Detects subclinical and clinical mastitis via color-coded results.
• User-oriented interface; minimal or no training required.
• Color-coded indicators compliant with local regulations.
• Low power consumption.
• 1-year full warranty with optional post-warranty service.
• Wi‑Fi connectivity for network integration and real-time synchronization.
• Cloud connection for remote monitoring, automatic backup and secure data access.

How it works (workflow)

• Prepare the sample: Stain the milk sample and load it into the disposable chip.
• Insert the chip: Place the chip in SomaticScan’s testing chamber.
• Automatic analysis: The device acquires images and performs automated counting to eliminate subjective error.
• Get results: Receive quantitative, color-coded results aligned with local regulatory thresholds.
