Welcome to REFLECTRONICS
Reflectronics, Inc. was formed in 1993 to commercialize the CoAguLite Cutting Time Control Technology which determines the endpoint of the coagulation process in cheese making. The FluorLite-MC milk coagulation sensor technology, introduced in 2019, measures both an infrared light backscatter and a fluorescence signal during the milk coagulation step in cheese making. The FluorLite-MC excels in the accurate and repeatable determination of the endpoint. The FluorLite-LX was introduced in 2020 and was developed to measure the performance of whey filtration processes. The sensors manufactured by Reflectronics have a long history of performance and sensors utilize the same, industry tested and proven, robust and sanitary design features.
Optical Sensors from Reflectronics
CoAguLite – The CoAguLite Cutting Time Control Technology was introduced in 1993 to commercialize an optical technology for automating the cutting time selection in cheese making. The performance consistency of the technology results from the use of the latest optical technology, a robust sensor design, and employment of fundamental principles of chemical reaction kinetics.
FluorLite-LX – The FluorLite-LX measures “true” protein in whey permeate and other solutions up to 1% protein and ignores non-protein nitrogen. A recent novel innovation automatically corrects measurement for the light-extinction effect of solids in whey permeate. Measurement range is between 0.01% and 1% protein (100 – 10,000 PPM) and up to 8% solids.
FluorLite-MC – The FluorLite Cutting Time Control Technology responds during the last phase, the gel firming phase, of milk coagulation and provides more consistent cutting time control than any other technology because the time-parameter derived during the gel-firming stage is very close to the coagulation endpoint, thus, increasing the accuracy of endpoint selection.
