output modulesAll output modules are optional and directly integrated intothe iCinac.

Up to 32 channels available, which can be divided into yourchoice of:• Digital outputs• Analog outputs 4-20 mA• Analog outputs 0-10 VDC

Additional outputs may be added subsequently followingthe initial assembly.

Multi-parameter digital probesthese digital sensors manufactured by Mettler toledo, with isM®

technology, can simultaneously take 3 measurements on a singlechannel: pH, temperature and redox.

other sensorsother probes and sensorsare available to measureother parameters such asconductivity, dissolved oxygen.

Another major innovation of the iCinac is that the pC is nowintegrated in the system, allowing users to command iCinacvia a large, easy-to-use, touch screen.the software has been entirely rethought; the interface is user-friendly, clear and optimised making it easy to use by eveninexperienced operators and technicians.extremely complete, the Windows® compatible software is usedto automatically:• Manage the temperature compensation• follow-up any set point (temperature, pH, time, etc.)• Drive your water baths• Calculate all your feature points• save all data in real time• Draw all types of curves• follow up the calibration of your pH probes• Create and manage your libraries (average curves, standard

deviation, etc.)

Up to 32 control outputsthe control outputs are entirely modular.the total capacity of 32 channels can beconfigured as needed: digital outputs,or 2 types of analog outputs: 4-20 mAor 0-10 VDC. for example, if you chooseto begin with a configuration of 8 digitalchannels and 8 analog channels, changes can alwaysbe made afterwards.each channel is controlled independently, thus allowingseveral manipulations to be carried out, regardless ofthe number of channels used, and regardless of the timeof the day. the instrument thus performs several tasksaccording to the desired configuration, at a user definableacquisition frequency, ensuring calibration validity.

proCess siMUlAtionby programming a thermal cycle, each user can reproduceor simulate the changes in their process conditions(variations in temperature, pH), and compare, using graphsand/or descriptors, the potential effects on the phylumstudied.

the iCinac is the fourth generation of the Cinac system, an instrument developed in the 90s in partnership with inrA (UMr gMpA, lab g. CorrieU) at the request of major french dairy companies.

it is currently the only system dedicated to monitoring the acidification activity of lactic ferments, which simultaneously observes the change in pH, temperature and redox potential of one or several samples in order to:

• Determine the acid forming characteristics specificto the phylum studied,

• Evaluate and anticipate its impact on processdevelopment,

• Examine the influence of various parameters on acidforming capacity: different media, temperature, etc.

• Define adequate inocula (mixing of phylum,complementary characteristics, etc.)

the only aspects of the Cinac system the iCinac has kept are its name (well, almost) and purpose...all the rest is entirely new!

this instrument, which has no real equivalent on the market, is very useful in research & Development, to test, control and validate starter cultures during the development of numerous, increasingly sophisticated products, as well as in process control and quality control.

it is of course intended for the dairy industries (yoghurt, cheese, specialities, etc.) as well as any industry requiring continuous and multi-channel monitoring of pH: chemistry, pharmaceutical, cosmetics, agri-food (beer, spirits, meat, etc.).

Furthermore, it meets the specifications of the new ISO 26323 standard exactly (Determination of the acidification activity of dairy cultures by continuous pH measurement).

tHe seCret: MUlti-pArAMeter DigitAl sensorsthe iCinac is equipped with the latest isM® technology digital sensors developed by Mettler toledo. this intelligent sensor management technology converts mV signals into digital signals.

it has the advantage of simultaneously measuring, on the same channel, the pH, temperature and redox potential of one sample.

not only does this capacity triple the analysis capabilities, it also optimises the monitoring of the acidification process since each channel measures the pH while carrying out its own compensation by also measuring temperature and redox.

CoMplete DesCription of tHe stUDieD strAin in addition to the 3 available curves for each parameter (data, kinetic and acceleration), the iCinac software calculates in real time all of the descriptors of the studied strain, such as: pH at 4H, pH at 6H, time required to obtain pH 5, maximum speed, time during which the speed exceeded 50% of the maximum speed, etc.

each operator can create average curves to build a reference database to compare with new trials.

each operator can thus create their own set of descriptors, providing them with a perfect characterisation of each test .
