Ankom Technology
Over 20 years ago, ANKOM Technology developed Filter Bag Technology (FBT) to provide a state of the art, low cost, high volume alternative system for determining conventional fiber analysis. ANKOM next introduced advanced products for fat analysis that can rapidly perform extractions using solvents such as, Petroleum Ether, Hexane, or Ethyl Ether to mention a few. Recently, by further utilizing FBT, ANKOM has developed the only fully automated instrument for Dietary Fiber available on the market today. Unlike most conventional methods, FBT allows for batch extraction and precise control. FBT provides a higher level of automation compared to traditional methods for fat analysis and fiber analysis. We offer instruments, chemicals and other ancillary products to support detergent fiber studies, crude fiber analysis, crude fat extraction, in vitro and in situ research, TDF and more.
