The freezing curve is displayed during the measurement on the graphical colour display. This is ideal for observing, protocolling and providing proof of the plateau search stipulated by the technical standard (DIN/ISO/IDF 5764).

Testing milk for added water is an important quality control check carried out in dairies worldwide. Adding water to milk increases the freezing point of the milk by a fraction of a degree. This is measured using a machine called a Cryoscope which can detect added water in milk with precision down to a thousandth of a degree Celsius.
The Funke Gerber CryoStar is a highly accurate and reliable Cryoscope for high accuracy freezing point determination (FPD). The CryoStar uses FPD to find the plateau as prescribed in the ISO/IDF/DIN 5764 standard for measuring water in milk. The 4 decimal place accuracy of the CryoStar gives excellent repeatability and ultimately confidence in the instruments results.
