Rapid NMR Fat Analyzer
ORACLE
Rapid NMR Fat Analyzer
ORACLE
Overview
ORACLE™ is the first ever rapid fat analyzer that requires absolutely no method development for fat only analysis. At the touch of a button, ORACLE can analyze fat in any food sample with reference chemistry accuracy, without any prior knowledge of the sample matrix or composition. Simply press the run arrow and ORACLE delivers an exceptionally accurate and precise fat result in 30 seconds. Alternatively, ORACLE can be paired with the SMART 6 for combined rapid fat and moisture/solids analysis in less than 5 minutes.Unique Chemistry
Newly developed NMR technology that completely isolates protons in fat from all other proton sources in food matrixes, such as carbohydrates and proteins.Features
- Rapid- 30 second analysis
- Analyze any sample from 0.05 – 100.00 % fat
- Direct isolation and measurement of hydrogen protons on fat molecules
- Precise- better repeatability than wet chemical extraction techniques
ISO International Standard
Technology meets FSSAI, ISO, and AOAC
The ORACLE meets ISO 16756 | IDF 259 and is now RAFT-certified and adopted by FSSAI as a validated method of analysis, enabling food manufacturers to rapidly and accurately determine the fat content without the use of solvents or other hazardous chemicals. As the only commercially available fat analysis system that utilizes Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill (CPMG) TD-NMR, the ORACLE is able to deliver reliable fat analysis results, without the need for matrix-specific calibrations or solvents, in under a minute.View the ISO standard

Simple to Use
No method development
Method development is not required for accurate analysis with the ORACLE system. Other alternative rapid techniques are unable to fully isolate fat from other components, which is why extensive calibration development is often required. Validated by a wide sample range, the advanced NMR technology offered by ORACLE delivers reference-level accuracy with greater precision than even traditional extraction methods. By eliminating differences caused by various sample matrices and user to user variability, the ORACLE simplifies your laboratory workflow.The ORACLE can also be paired with a robot for unattended fat analysis of up to 100 samples per batch.
Unique Technology
Breakthrough using TD-NMR
Specialized ORACLE NMR technology completely isolates the detection of the proton signal in fat molecules from all other compositional proton sources (i.e. protein, carbohydrate, ash), making a universal fat analyzer possible. Adapting the CPMG pulse sequence allows for direct total fat analysis, providing an alternative to reference methods, such as Mojonnier, Weibull-Berntrop, Rose-Gottlieb, and others. In addition, no solvents are utilized, a critical safety improvement over traditional extractions.
Rapid and Accurate
Analyze any sample in under a minute
Rapid results from the ORACLE correlate highly to various CRM results, demonstrating viability of the method across a wide range of sample types and fat content. Thousands of samples have been successfully validated globally, leading to improvements in laboratory workflows and increased precision and repeatability compared to traditional fat analysis methods.Validation by COFRAC Accedited Laboratory (Actalia Cecalait)
Moisture/Solids + Fat
Results in less than 5 minutes
Pair the SMART 6™ Analyzer with the ORACLE for rapid moistures/solids and fat. The SMART 6 utilizes dual-frequency energy to rapidly analyze moisture/solids in any product, wet or dry, in approximately 3 minutes. The system comes pre-programmed with a library of optimized drying methods for pairing with the ORACLE.Validation:
- AOAC 2008.06 - Moisture and Fat in Meats
- AOAC PVM 1:2004 - Moisture/Solids and Fat in Dairy Products
Testimonials
"The CEM ORACLE Fat Analyzer has demonstrated the ability to eliminate daily calibrations used with previous technology for a broad range of samples while maintaining high sample accuracy and precision. As one of the global leaders in food testing this is very beneficial for our testing needs."
