Food Texture Analyzer Rheological Tester rheological analysis for food biology pharmaceuticals

Introduction

ST-Z16 Food Texture Analyzer is a sensory rheological analysis instrument used for testing the rheological properties of samples in fields such as food, biology, pharmaceuticals, and chemical industries. It includes hardness, elasticity, crispness, chewiness, firmness, toughness, extensibility, recoverability, and gel strength, among other rheological properties.

The ST-Z16 Food Texture Analyzer is an integrated mechanical and electrical product, designed with modern mechanical design concepts and ergonomic principles, and meticulously crafted using advanced dual-CPU microcomputer processing technology.
