FOSS A/S is a Danish manufacturer of analytical instruments based in Hillerød, founded in 1956. FOSS is a global leader and a No. 1 reference brand in infrared spectroscopy-based instrumental analysis (NIR and FTIR) for milk, grain, feed, meat and other food products. FOSS equipment is used by dairy processing plants, grain traders, feed mills and quality-control laboratories; in Uzbekistan, FOSS solutions are represented by LabLog.
FOSS is a Danish analytical company founded by engineer Nils Foss in 1956. It develops dedicated rapid-analysis solutions for food and agricultural production. Its strength is not a single universal instrument but a complete measurement ecosystem: global calibrations, instrument standardisation, digital performance monitoring, LIMS connectivity, and application support from incoming raw material to final product.
LabLog
FOSS solutions deliver multiple key parameters in one analysis, support faster raw-material and process decisions, reduce dependence on time-consuming wet chemistry, and help maintain comparable results across shifts, sites, and instruments.

Best suited for
Milk reception points, small and medium dairy plants, farms and production labs with daily routine control
02 · Routine milk analysis
A high-performance FTIR system for the central dairy laboratory: intake control, milk payment testing, standardisation, process management, finished-product control and unified quality data. Designed for plants that need to control not only raw milk, but the product at different stages of production.
Best suited for
Medium and large dairy plants, central laboratories, broad product portfolios and process-control tasks
FOSS
01 · Advanced dairy analysis
A high-performance FTIR system for the central dairy laboratory: intake control, milk payment testing, standardisation, process management, finished-product control and unified quality data. Designed for plants that need to control not only raw milk, but the product at different stages of production.
Best suited for
Medium and large dairy plants, central laboratories, broad product portfolios and process-control tasks
FOSS
01 · Versatile laboratory NIR analysis
A laboratory NIR platform for a broad range of food, feed, and agricultural matrices. With additional calibration packages, it can be used for meat, solid dairy products, whole grain, feed, raw materials, and finished goods.
Best suited for
Central laboratories and food/feed plants handling diverse sample matrices
FOSS
01 · Whole-grain NIR/NIT analysis
A laboratory NIR platform for a broad range of food, feed, and agricultural matrices. With additional calibration packages, it can be used for meat, solid dairy products, whole grain, feed, raw materials, and finished goods.
Best suited for
Central laboratories and food/feed plants handling diverse sample matrices
02 · Whole-grain NIR/NIT analysis
A stationary FOSS analyser for rapid control of whole grain, oilseeds and pulses at intake, storage and trading. It supports batch decisions within a minute: moisture, protein, oil, test weight and other parameters depending on crop and calibration.
Best suited for
Grain elevators, traders, mills, feed mills, agricultural holdings and intake-control laboratories
FOSS
01 · In-line NIR process control
An in-line NIR analyser that measures product directly in the process and supports continuous adjustments without manually collecting every sample.
Best suited for
Continuous feed, flour, dairy-powder, and other homogeneous production processes
FOSS
01 · Bacteria and somatic cell counting
A combined analyser for simultaneous bacteria and somatic cell counting in milk using flow cytometry. One instrument replaces two separate units for bacterial and somatic analysis.
Best suited for
Dairy laboratories, milk collection points, dairy plants
FOSS
01 · Kjeldahl: protein, digestion, and scrubbers
Kjeldahl distillation systems for nitrogen determination. The complete method also requires a separate Digestor; the titration configuration is selected for throughput and the applicable standard.
Best suited for
Laboratories at dairy, meat, and grain facilities, regulatory bodies
02 · Kjeldahl: protein, digestion, and scrubbers
Automated Kjeldahl distillation, colorimetric titration and calculation module. Digestion is performed separately in a Digestor; a 20- or 60-sample autosampler is available for batch work.
Best suited for
Large laboratories with high sample volume and variation
03 · Kjeldahl: protein, digestion, and scrubbers
Digestion blocks for the complete Kjeldahl method: manual 8- or 20-position DT 208/220 and automated Digestor 2508/2520. Configuration depends on throughput and fume-removal requirements.
Best suited for
