Trade journal “Feed Magazine | Kraftfutter” no. 3/2009
The Microtracer analytical method is a reliable method for determining homogeneity and cross-over in mixing equipment in accordance with Feed Hygiene Regulation (EC) no. 183/2005.
PDF -
Trade journal “De Molenaar” no. 11/2014
Microtracers are not classified as dangerous according to REACH Regulation (EC) no. 1907/2006 and are increasingly used as a preventive measure for the traceability of feedstuffs in order to guarantee safe products.
PDF -
Trade journal “De Molenaar” no. 21/2006
The “direct” Microtracer method relies on the particle count principle and not on the measurement of concentrations. As a result, influences on mixing processes such as the tapping of filters are recognised with significantly greater precision and clarity.
