Equipment That Keeps Food Safe — From Farm to Shelf
Food safety depends on accurate sample preparation and reliable analysis across sourcing, production, packaging, storage, and distribution. From rapid food homogenisation to advanced microplastics analysis, GRS supplies the instruments Singapore’s food safety labs use to deliver consistent, compliant results.
Rapid Homogenisation of Food Samples
Knife Mill HM 100 / HM 300
Engineered for rapid food sample homogenisation in just 10–30 seconds. Features stainless steel knives (titanium options available) and 1L/2L autoclaving containers to prevent cross-contamination.
Specification | Value
- Feed size | < 50 mm
- Final fineness | < 320 μm
Typical Applications
- Agriculture — grain, feed
- Biology — mouse tissue, plant leaves, seeds, seedlings
- Medicine — Chinese medicine, pills
- Food — dried melon, vegetables, frozen food, candy, preserved fruit, meat
Rapid Homogenisation of Food Samples
Fast Mill FM 200
High-efficiency grinding using a two-step rotating knife and ring screen system. Processes dry and wet samples — soft, hard, brittle, or fibrous — in very short cycles.
Specification | Value
- Feed size | < 10 mm
- Final fineness | < 40 μm
Typical Applications
- Sample prep for C.H.N determination (plants: root, stem, leaf)
- Coal and coating sample prep; ash content and thermal measurement
- Nitrogen and protein composition of feed and food
- Determination of harmful substances in fuel, plastic, electronics
Microplastics & Nanoplastics Analysis in Food and Water
The presence of microplastics (< 5 mm) and nanoplastics (< 1 µm) in food, water, and the wider environment is a growing public health concern. Testing is increasing across bottled water, seafood, food packaging, and even soil.
No single technique covers the full size range, so a correlative approach is essential:
Technique | Particle Size Range
- LDIR (Laser Direct Infrared) | 500 – 10 µm
- Raman | 20 – 1 µm
- Nano-IR | 5 µm – 10 nm
IRa-SCOPE by attocube
Uniquely combines LDIR, Raman, and nano-IR spectroscopy in a single instrument — with automation, integrated data analysis, and a sample-centric workflow. Designed for applied research and industry, it delivers a complete micro- and nanoplastics analysis pipeline in one platform.
