Overview

What is SafTest?

SafTest is a compact photometric system for routine testing of lipid quality and fat content in foods, ingredients, oils, feeds, biodiesel, and related products.

SafTest methods address fat content, hydrolytic degradation, primary and secondary oxidation, and total glycerin in biodiesel—helping quality teams evaluate raw materials, production batches, finished products, and shelf-life stability.

Infographic grouping SafTest endpoints into lipid content and quality, oxidation, and biodiesel quality. Percent Fat measures fat content, Free Fatty Acids indicate hydrolytic degradation, Peroxide indicates primary oxidation, Malonaldehyde and Alkenal indicate secondary oxidation, and Total Glycerin supports biodiesel quality testing.
Workflow

The SafTest workflow

Choose a platform

Liquid and solid SafTest instrumentation platforms

SafTest platforms are configured for specific sample workflows and endpoints and include the core reusable equipment needed to prepare and analyze samples. First choose the platform designed for liquid or solid samples, then explore the configurations below to find the option that supports the endpoint or endpoints you need to measure.

New SafTest platform purchases include free onsite training.

Liquid sample workflow

For oils, liquid fats, biodiesel, and other appropriately prepared liquid samples.

Test kits

SafTest endpoint-specific test kits

Each test kit includes the endpoint-specific reagents, calibrators, and control needed to test approximately 100 samples. Choose from methods for lipid oxidation, hydrolytic degradation, fat content, or total glycerin based on the endpoint you need to measure.

AOAC Research Institute (AOAC RI) Performance Tested Methods℠ (PTM) are available for the Peroxide, Free Fatty Acid, and Percent Fat methods.

Compatible instrumentation, consumables, and dispensing equipment are selected separately.

Dispenser Set

SafTest endpoint-specific dispenser sets

Each reusable dispenser set provides the method-specific equipment needed to dispense SafTest reagents at the prescribed volumes. Matching the set to your selected endpoint simplifies setup, helps support consistent reagent addition from run to run, and avoids the need to source individual dispensing components separately. Each set includes one dispenser for every required reagent and a reagent holding rack.

Test kits, instrumentation platforms, and consumables packages are selected separately.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between an instrumentation platform and a consumables package?

An instrumentation platform includes the SafTest analyzer and the equipment needed for the selected liquid or solid workflow. A consumables package does not include the analyzer and requires compatible instrumentation.

Are test kits included with a SafTest platform?

Test kits are purchased separately unless otherwise specified in a quote.

Can SafTest support both liquid and solid samples?

Yes. SafTest offers separate liquid and solid workflow configurations. The correct configuration depends on sample type, test endpoint, and preparation requirements.

Can an existing SafTest user add another endpoint?

Possibly. Compatibility depends on the existing analyzer, instrumentation, consumables platform, and endpoint being added.

Is setup and training available?

Yes. New SafTest platform purchases include free onsite training.
