Flexibility is required in a changing market. Don't let your testing equipment limit your capabilities!

The rise of alternative plant and animal based proteins is a perfect example, as different ingredients can be used to combat gluten-free or vegan diets, promote muscle growth or weight loss, or simply provide a healthier and more environmentally friendly snack option. For the manufacturers using these ingredients, they face two major problems. First, many of the alternative ingredients are more expensive and harder to source, increasing overhead for production and challenging profit viability for the final product. Additionally, this difficulty to source the ingredients can force the use of suppliers that may not have earned your full trust and confidence, leading to a more suspect incoming product quality. Fortunately, CEM Corporation has opportunities to help combat both deficiencies, among many others.
CEM was originally founded with the goal of improved process control in mind, and that continues to this day by creating equipment that is consistently faster and more accurate. With the ability to test moisture, protein, fat, and ash content, and most tests completed in under 3 minutes, CEM results can lead to a better production process. Improvements in formulations and reductions in the quantity required of expensive ingredients can be realized, while still maintaining product specifications. Over time, this can lead to huge cost savings, with the added bonus of making a more consistent, high quality, product. In addition, CEM process control equipment is flexible enough to be able to test both wet and dry products on a single system. Because all results are determined using direct analysis technology, we never have to recalibrate or redevelop methods based on changing products and ingredients.
Additionally, CEM is the leader in microwave digestion, allowing production facilities to confirm quality and safety of their products through elemental and heavy metals analysis. Regardless if you are a large production site looking to test 100’s of the same samples a day, or an R&D or co-packer with a variety of different products, CEM has batch and sequential digestion options to suit your needs.
