Texture Analyzer

A Texture Analyzer is a precision instrument used to measure the mechanical and physical properties of materials such as hardness, elasticity, chewiness, gel strength, and viscosity. Labtron’s Texture Analyzer widely used in food, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and biomaterials to quantify texture attributes and ensures product consistency, quality, and consumer satisfaction.

Our Texture Analyzers can be used to test a wide variety of samples including gelatin, dough, meat, dairy products, fruits, jelly, pharmaceuticals, creams, hydrogels, and even packaging films. They are ideal for both soft and firm materials, depending on the load cell and probe configuration used.

Labtron’s Texture Analyzer works by applying a controlled force to a sample using a probe while measuring the sample’s response in terms of deformation, resistance, or breakage. The data is captured in real-time as force vs. distance or time curves, which can be analyzed to determine key texture parameters.

Common tests which can be done with the help of our Texture Analyzers, include compression, tension, puncture, shear, bending, relaxation, and creep testing. These tests help determine properties such as gel strength, firmness, chewiness, tensile strength, brittleness, and elasticity.
