OmniTest Texture AnalyzerUniversal Software-controlled texture tester
The OmniTest Texture Analyzer is a flagship texture analysis instrument, for texture applications that require precise force, position and speed control. The PC-driven model has the flexibility to run the test routines on your choice of computer hardware.
This benchtop software-controlled system evaluate the mechanical properties of foods and other solid/semi-solid products that are judged by the end consumer by their physical sensory characteristics. These attributes relate to the sense of touch. Tactile interaction with the mouth or hands enable the customer to make a judgement on the quality of the product's texture.
Fitted with a suitable interchangeable fixture, the system replicates the natural kinaesthetic interaction (from biting to squeezing) and the results quantify the established texture profile attributes that correlate to mouthfeel, influencing perceived quality.
VectorPro software controls the OmniTest Texture Analyzer, via a connected PC, to apply the forces on the test sample, acquires the data and automatically calculates the results which correlate to the correct physical organoleptic sensory qualities. Peak forces, average forces, work can all be calculated from the graphical results to indicate the essential texture quality attributes of the sample material.
The OmniTest Touch Texture Analyzer is a flagship texture analysis instrument, for texture applications that require precise force, position and speed control. The standalone Touch model is configured with a touchscreen console that requires minimal operator training.

The OmniTest and OmniTest Touch Texture Analyzers make quality control testing in a production or laboratory environment a much simpler task, at an affordable price.
You can quickly determine the textural properties of bakery products, cereals, confectionary, snacks, dairy, fruit, vegetables, meat (or meat-free alternatives) and so much more. Pharma and cosmetic products such as creams and lotions can also be evaluated for their kinaesthetic feel on the hands.
