Extractor for raw fiber determination

The analysis of raw fiber in food and feed is important and interesting for several reasons, but some of the technical issues about reliability, reproducibility, easiness of use, were, up to now, only partially solved, whichever method is used (Weende, Van Soest).
Considering the diffusion of problems related to nutrition in general terms, VELP introduced the FIWE 3 unit for raw fiber determination, intended for small and medium sample throughput, wich is an appropriate answer to those issues.
