--- title: texture analysis texture analyzer description: About Texture Analysis and the TX-700 Texture Analyzer. Measures hardness, crispness, adhesiveness, fracturability, elasticity, stiffness, and chewiness. image: https://www.cscscientific.com/hubfs/TX700%20P36%20UK.jpg --- [![CSC Scientific Company, Inc.](https://www.cscscientific.com/hs-fs/file-1239671252-jpg/images/csc-logo-1.jpg "CSC Scientific Company, Inc.")](https://www.cscscientific.com/?hsLang=en-us) # Texture Analysis TX-700 ## Evaluate Textural Characteristics with Ease Texture Analysis measures characteristics such as: | hardness | crispness | | --- | --- | | adhesiveness | elasticity | | fracturability | gel strength | | brittleness | chewiness | | gumminess | tenderness | (and these are just a few examples!) It is a valuable tool for many industries. In applications where** a customer's sensory experience of a product impacts their decision to purchase**, texture analysis is essential.  Texture analysis is used throughout the supply chain. R&D departments evaluate alternative ways to produce defined textures in product development, and Production departments evaluate texture to ensure consistency in the output of the manufacturing process. Texture can also impact how well the product transports during distribution, as well as its shelf life in stores and after customer purchase.  ## Versatility is Key The TX-700 Texture Analyzer can be **used with an extensive range of sensors in the form of interchangeable ****attachments**. This provides the flexibility to work with most texture types. The texture test results are shown on the display as a function of time. These results are shown and stored on the instrument, and can be transferred to a computer.   --- The probe and cell attachments provide for measuring critical textures in a wide variety of products. A few examples include: - **Firmness** of baked products such as Bagels, Cakes, Muffins, Hamburger Buns and Bread - **Hardness** of Cookies, Almond and other Fruits - **Breaking Force**, stretchiness and flexibility of Tortilla products - **Shear Forces** for Deodorants and other stick-like Cosmetics - **Strength** of Gel Products, Tablets and Crackers  --- ## Specifications - **Type of instrument:** Texture Analyzer operating in Compression and Traction with 7" Touch screen - **Choice of sensors:** - 10 N (1 kg), Resolution 0.001 N (0.1 g) - 20 N (2 kg), Resolution 0.001 N (0.1 g) - 50 N (5 kg), Resolution 0.001 N (0.1 g) - 250 N (20 kg), Resolution 0.01 N (1 g) - 500 N (50 kg), Resolution 0.01 N (1 g) - **Accuracy:** +/- 0.05 % of the full scale - **Speed range:** From 0.1 to 10 mm/s +/-0.2 % - **Motion Height:** 240 mm / Resolution: 0.1 mm - **Temperature:** The TX-700 has a PT 100 sensor to measure your sample’s temperature from -50°C to +300°C - **Display:** Force – Speed – Distance – Temperature - Time – Level of sensitivity - Date/hour - Choice of force units: gram or Newton - **Security and confidentiality:** An "operator" function allows you to enter a username for your instrument.
