3.1. Taking samples and preparation for analyses
In order to receive reliable results in qualification of milk, dairy products and derivatives are needed: precise samples taking; correct samples storing (in need to be preserved); correct preparation before making measurement. The rules and requirements for this are described in details in Appendix Preparing Samples.3.2. Making the measurement.
3.2.1. Preparing the analyzer for working mode3.2.1.1. Put the analyzer on the working place, providing good ventilation and not in the vicinity of heat providing devices or sources. The temperature in the premises has to be in the boundaries 10-30oC.
3.2.1.2. Check if the power switch is in "0" position and that the outlet voltage complies with the voltage indicated on the rating plate of the analyzer. Connect the power supply cable to the electrical outlet.
3.2.1.3. Switch on the “POWER” button, which starts the identification procedure. For a short time the display shows the number of the software versions, for example:

where:
Milkanalyzer xxx is the time for measurement.
MA vers YY is the motherboard software version.
MA ser. N. xxxx is the serial number – written on the rear panel of the analyzer.
These data are called analyzer’s Identity

company-producer, you have to send the data, written on the display during the above described initialization procedure i.e the analyzer’s identity.
3.2.1.4.Till the analyzer is prepared for work (at about 5 minutes) the following message is written on the display: “Getting ready” . Above pointed time is in dependence of the environmental temperature and increases with decreasing the temperature.
3.2.1.5. When the device is ready for work the display shows: “Ready to start” .
The analyzer is ready to make analyses in mode 1 (normally Cow)
3.2.1.6. If you want to pass to another mode press the button Enter and hold it pressed. The following message appears on the display:

Release the button Enter. The display shows the possible working modes:

Using “up”▲and ”down”▼buttons, choose the working mode and press Enter in order to start it.
3.2.2. Making analyses
To start measurement: pour the preliminary prepared sample in the sample holder of the analyzer; put the sample holder in the recess of the analyzer; press the button Enter.
The analyzer sucks the milk, makes the measurement and returns the milk in the sample-holder. During the measurement the temperature of the sample is shown on the display.
Ignore the results received immediately after switching on the analyzer and after measuring distilled water. Make a second measurement with new portion of the same sample.
3.2.3. Displaying the results
3.2.3.1. When the measurement is finished, the sample returns in the sample-holder and the display shows the results. For example:

Where: | |
F= ff.ff | - measured FAT in percentage; |
S= ss.ss | - measured SNF in percentage; |
D= dd.dd | - measured density in percentage; |
P= pp.pp | - measured protein in percentage; |
L= ll.ll | - measured lactose in percentage; |
W= ww.ww | - measured sample’s added water in percentage. |

Where,
tt,tC -sample’s temperature;
-0.fff - measured sample’s freezing point;
0.sss - measured salts values;
aa.aa - measured total solids
By pressing the button”Up” ▲ display shows the third page with results:

Where,
L=I.II -measured Lactose in %;
By pressing the buttons “up”▲ and ”down”▼ , the operator has the possibility to pass from one page result to another.
3.2.3.2. Write down the results in the form. The results remain on the display till a new measurement is started. If the analyzer is connected to a computer or a printer, it sends the data to the computer or prints them.
4. CLEANING THE ANALYZER
This procedure prevents gathering milk fat residues and milk stone on the sensor. The milk stone consists of milk solids, calcium, iron, sulphates, magnesium, etc. All these substances form layer on the pipe and sensor’s walls, which leads to deviations in the measurement results and blocking up the piping.

4.1. Periodically cleaning (rinsing) the analyzer
It is done in the process of routine work of the analyzer. Its aim is to prevent drying up and adhesion of different milk components in the milk analyzer’s measuring system.4.1.1. Periodical cleaning frequency.
It is easy to understand what is the period on which the rinsing could be done as the analyzer reminds you when it is necessary. This is done by a sound signal in 1-second cycle after the set time intervals elapse:
• 55 min. after switching on the power supply of the analyser, but idle work;
• 15 min. after the last measurement of real milk sample.
After cleaning completion, new measurement takes place in above described time intervals.
The following message appears on the display:

4.1.2. Making the rinsing
After above message is received put in the recess of the analyzer a glass filled with 120 ml water (in case 1 from p.4. 1. 1.) or alkaline cleaning solution (in case 2 from p.4. 1. 1.).
Press Enter to start the rinsing mode.
In this mode the analyzer makes 3 cycles and stops.
Already used solution is poured out of the analyser. Now the device is ready for the next measurement. In case of doubt that the analyzer is still not well cleaned, the procedure Cleaning may be executed repeatedly.
4.2. Complete cleaning

6. MAKING CORRECTIONS AND CALIBRATION OF THE DEVICE
In the process of work with the analyser there is a possibility the results to start differing between the data for some of the measuring parameters when measured with the milk analyzer and the corresponding reference method of analyses (Gerber for fat, Kjeldhal for proteins etc). In order to establish the possible discrepancy and to correct the readings of the milk analyser do the following:6.1. Taking samples and preparation of samples for checking the accurracy of the milk analyser, making corrections and recalibration
This is a basic moment for the correct checking the accuracy of the analyser and for making correct and precise correction and calibration. It is accomplished according Appendix Sampling and preparation of samples for verification the accuracy of the milk analyzer, making corrections and recalibration.6.2. Determination the type of the discrepancy:
6.2.1. Making measurementsMake measurements with different samples (not less than 3) with known values of a separate parameter (for example fat content), determined by the known reference methods of analyses (for example Gerber's method for determination of fat content). For more accuracy it is recommended among these samples to be also such with values, close to the lowest and highest bounds for the measured parameters.
Make 5-time measurement for each of the samples. Calculate the average value for each sample parameter, without taking into consideration the first measurement for each sample.
6.2.2. Analysing the measurement results
Make comparison between the values of the parameter from the reference sample and measured with the analyser. Make analyses of the difference received.
6.2.2.1. If the received differences are relatively constant value for samples with different content of the analysed parameter, it is necessary to make correction.
For example
М% of the reference samples: 2,20 3,00 3,80 4,60 5,20
М%average when measuring
with the analyser: 2,38 3,17 4,01 4,79 5,42
Difference: 0,18 0,17 0,21 0,19 0,22
Conclusion: the difference is relatively constant value and correction is possible to be done with – 0,2 % (see Corrections, p6.3.3) 6.2.2.2. If the differences are not a constant value it is necessary recalibration to be done. For example. М% of the reference samples: 2,20 3,00 3,80 4,60 5,20 М% when measured with the
analyser: 2,02 2,93 3,76 4,75 5,44
Difference: -0,18 -0,07 -0,04 0,15 0,24
Conclusion: It is obvious that the difference is variable value and recalibration have to be done (See Recalibration, p.6.4).
6.3. Making corrections
.3.1. Possible corrections, limits and changing stepsEvery parameter from each calibration may be separately corrected. Below is the table with possible corrections, limits and changing steps:
Parameter | Increasing | Decreasing | Step |
FAT | 0.95% | 0.95% | 0.01% |
SNF | 4.75% | 4.75% | 0.05% |
Density | 4.75% | 4.75% | 0.05% |
Lactose | 0.95% | 0.95% | 0.01% |
Salts | 0.95% | 0.95% | 0.01% |
Proteins | 0.95% | 0.95% | 0.01% |
Added water | 9.00% | 9.00% | 1.00% |
Sample’s temperature | 9.90o С | 9.90o С | 0.1o С |

6.3.3.4. Making verification
After the corrections are made put the milk analyser in working mode and make several times measurement of reference samples with known values of the corrected parameter. If the difference between the values of the parameter from the reference methods and milkanalyser are in the limits for the parameter it may be considered that the correction is successfully made. If the discrepancy between the measurements from the milk analyser and classical methods is bigger than is necessary to make second correction according above described way.
If after the second correction the results are unsatisfactory we recommend making a calibration of the analyser. In dependence of the conditions and your requirements you may make the calibration using a personal computer type IBM PC and the company's calibration program or autonomous - by recalibration.

This mode is normally used in production conditions.
7.2.1.2. Calibration mode
In mode Calibration the analyzer is ready to make measurement and to send the received results towards the technological milk analyzers calibration system. For this purpose you need personal computer type IBM PC, company’s calibration system LSC.EXE and methods for calibration of milk analyzers (see the corresponding documents). To start measurement in this mode, the operator has to put a sample-holder containing milk sample in the recess of the analyzer and to press the button Enter.
7.2.1.2. Cycle mode
Mode Cycle serves for training the analyzers. When you start this mode, the analyzer, without additional commands, sucks the sample, makes the measurement, pours the sample out in the sample-holder and displays the received results cyclically.
Note:
This mode is normally used in production conditions. It is recommended the customer to calibrate the device using the embedded function Recalibrate (i.e autonomous, without computer)
7.2.2. Corrections
Serves for entering corrections in the measured data. Detailed description in point 6.3.2 and 6.3.3.
7.2.3. Settings.

8. Additional possibilities of the analyser
8.1. Connecting to 12 V DC power supply.If there is a need the analyzer to work on place without electrical supply available, then it could be powered by car battery or other 12 V DC external power supply. Use the 12 V power supply cable, supplied with the analyser.
8.2. Connecting to IBM PC
The milk analyser can be connected to IBM PC using the RS232 interface cable. In order to make the connection: switch off both milk analyser and PC.Connect the RS 232 cable towards Serial interface and towards the computer. Turn on both milk analyser and PC. Now the milk analyser is ready to communicate with IBM PC. This is enough for starting the program for collection and archive of the measurement results.
8.3. Connecting a printer (option).
In order to print out the measurement results, a serial printer could be connected to the device – for example ESC/POS Serial printer, production of Datecs or Seiko. The interface connector for the printer is on the rear panel of the device – “Serial printer output” . The printer (if it is Datecs), should be connected to the “12 V printer output” on the device rear panel. Connect it via cables, delivered by the company-producer. If the printer is connected directly to the electrical network, then the analyzer and the printer should be connected to one and the same electrical phase. Communication parameters: 9600 bps, No parity, 8 bits, 1 stop bit. It’s one-way communication (uses one line) – the analyzer only sends and the printer only accepts data.
APPENDICES
APPENDIX 1: EASY CALIBRATION OF THE MILK ANALYSER BY CALCULATING THE BASIC PARAMETERS VIA FORMULAS

1. Determination some of the parameters by formulas
There is dependence between the different parameters in milk and its density, which may be expressed with mathematical equation. On this base different formula, tested and confirmed by the classical laboratory methods for analyses, are developed. We recommend the following:
2. SNF determination.
For determination of SNF the correlation dependence exists between the milk’s density, fat and SNF in the milk. When the density and the fat are known, the SNF can be calculated.
There are several formulas with different applicability.
А/ When the salts and fat are known
SNF is calculated by subtracting the fat percentage from the salts. SNF = Salts – F (%)
Where
Salts – salts in (%),
F– fat content in (%),
This formula is used for determination of SNF in whey, buttermilk, and cream.
B/ Known quantity of fat and density (most commonly used method when maximum accuracy is needed).
We recommend the following formula:

This is a universal formula and actual for milk of almost all kind of cows and sheep all over the world.
3. Determination of lactose content
We recommend the following formulas:
А/ for cow milk
Lact. = SNF * 0,55 (% )
Where
SNF– content of SNF in percentages (%),
0,55– constant coefficient.
B/ for sheep milk
Lact. = SNF* 0,45 (% )
Where,
SNF–solids-non-fat content in percentages (%),
0,45– constant coefficient.

4. Determination of salts content
We recommend using the following formulas:
А/ for cow milk
Salts = SNF* 0,083 (% )
Where
SNF– solids-non-fat content in percentages (%),
0,083– constant coefficient.
B/ for sheep milk
Salts = SNF * 0,075 (% )
Where
SNF– solids-non-fat content n percentages (%),
0,075– constant coefficient.

5. Determination of total proteins content
We recommend using the following formulas:
А/ for cow milk
Protein = SNF * 0,367 (% )
Where
SNF- solids-non-fat content in percentages (%),
0,367– constant coefficient.
B/ for sheep milk
Protein = SNF * 0,475 (% )
Where
SNF– solids-non-fat content in percentages (%),
0,475- constant coefficient.

APPENDIX 2 FREEZING POINT DETERMINATION
1. Methods for determination.
The milk analyzer determines the freezing point of each sample and the quantity of added water. The milk analyser does not measure the freezing point, but calculates it from the components it depends on. The basic components in the milk are water, solids, lactose, FAT, proteins, minerals (salts) and acids. The freezing point depends only on the diluted in the milk components and quantity of the solvent (in the milk it is water). The ultrasonic technology allows direct measurement of FAT, proteins, lactose + salts (the soluble components, only influencing the freezing point), and the quantity of the solvent in % is determined by 100 % – total solids %, total solids = lactose % + FAT % + proteins % + salts % + acids %.
Without understanding the meaning of the freezing point – determined or shown from the milk analyzer added water result easily may lead to a mistake for the value of this parameter.
2. The basic freezing point.
Milk freezes at lower temperature than water. The average freezing point of the raw milk in the most regions is at about -0,540°С . The average reading for your region is called “basic” freezing point.
The freezing point of milk is a “physiological constant” . This does not mean that it will not vary. In fact feed, breed, season, time of lactation, climate, whether the sample is taken at the beginning, middle or end of lactation – all these factors will have an effect on the freezing point of the individual sample. This means that there is an average value of all these numbers. The more samples used in obtaining this average, the more reliable it is as a base. Or the basic freezing point is an average of freezing points of milk, taken from many cows. When a laboratory checks a producer, it is only comparing the average of the producer’s cows against a larger area average.
The Health authorities establish the basic freezing point or agriculture departments in some regions, sometimes by universities, separate dairy producers, or their associations. Frequently, tolerances have been established on top of a basic freezing point to allow some variations in the milk as well as device or operator variations.
Without mentioning the basic freezing point, the Association of Official Analytical Chemists now recommends an upper limit freezing point at - 0,525°C (2,326 standard deviations above the most recently determined North American average of –0,5404°C), below which there will be at 95%
confidence that will show 99% of all freezing point determinations on unwatered milk:
“if the freezing point is –0,525°C or below, milk may be presumed to be free of water or may be confirmed as water free by tests, specified below. If the freezing point is above –0,525°C, milk will be designated as “presumptive added water” and will be confirmed as added water or added water free by tests specified below. Evaluate extreme daily fluctuations in the freezing point of herd, pooled herd, or processed milk for presence of added water” . “Presumed added water”, as described above, must be “confirmed” by means of tests on authentic milk samples obtained as specified in the АОАС
METHODS.
After determination the freezing point of your sample via the milk analyzer, the added water is calculated using the following formula:

Where:
FrPointBase is the basic freezing point
FrPointCalc is measured freezing point
Note:
If the freezing point is not correctly determined, the result for the added water is not valid. In this case results for FrPoint and AddWater are not shown on the display and on the printout from the printer. If the density of the measured sample is 0, the result for AddWater is not valid and is also not shown on the display and the printouts.
Sample:
First variant
If you’ve entered for milk analyzer basic freezing point -0.520°C (according article 5.9 of the EU Milk Hygiene Directive 92/46/ЕЕС), measured freezing point –0.540°C, using the above pointed formula you’ll receive –3,8%. Because it is not possible the added water to be negative value, the milk analyzer indicates 0% added water. The reason for this is the tolerance in the basic freezing point, reasons for which are described below.
If in the same milk we add 3,8% water, and the basic freezing point is the same, the milk analyzer will measure freezing point –0.520°C, and will indicate again 0% added water.
Second variant
If you’ve entered for the device basic freezing point –0.540°C, measured freezing point –0.540°C, the milk analyzer will indicate 0%. When you add 3,8% water, the device will indicate 3,8%-added water.
From the above mentioned follows that it is very important to enter correct basic freezing point in the device.
The device’s results for added water may give information about doubt of added water in the milk and the exact value of this added water may be determined after a “cowshed sample” is taken and the result for the freezing point, measured by the milk analyzer of the “cowshed sample” is entered as basic freezing point in the formula for calculation of added water.
Then the result from this formula will give us the absolute value of the added water for the corresponding milk supplier.
