Whether you are creating a new product, reformulating an existing one, or simply trying to measure how your product compares to the competition, no other texture analyzer can help you understand your product better than the TA.XTPlus Connect from Stable Micro Systems. Our instruments and software can quantify many texture analysis parameters including ones that competing instruments cannot. If you want to measure parameters such as the firmness, toughness, brittleness, relaxation, swelling, stickiness, resilience, springiness, cohesiveness, and extensibility of any food product or ingredient, we offer the perfect tools for the job.

SMS' TA.XT Texture Analyzers are the most popular texture analyzers for food product testing worldwide. Their popularity is due in part to the ever-growing number of probes, fixtures, test methods, application studies, and the expertise that SMS and TTC deploy for our customers. Our instruments cost a little more but they are priced to include our expertise and applications assistance!

Our Texture Analyzers are extensively used in R&D, manufacturing and academic applications.

Don't use our instruments because your entire industry already does. Use our instruments because they can help you tell your story.

What is your company's story? Your marketing department has probably spent millions communicating your company's story and teaching consumers what to expect when they experience your brands. Your narrative is about your history, your founders, recipes, flavors, ingredients, philosophies and of course, textures. That is where we come in. Even if your products have subtle and distinctive textural attributes - we make sure that you can measure those attributes and deliver them consistently to your consumers.

What is your product's story? The most profitable products are those with sufficiently unique histories and attributes that they are not sold as commodities. Your loyal, repeat consumers develop a set of expectations for each of your products. These expectations can be bountiful, but they also mean that companies must match those expectations every single day as their sales and production scale up. Companies use our equipment to quantify and deliver the textural stories that their customers expect.

We help you deliver on the story that you have told. It is very hard to make the same product across different batches, shifts, ingredient suppliers, and manufacturing plants. Your quality staff cannot be everywhere. Young companies rely on third party co-packers to produce products which are shipped directly to their customers. Our experience and instruments help your consumers experience the product quality that you promised. Your name is on every product. We help you be proud that you've delivered it again, and again, and again.

"The TA.XT has been a fabulous instrument for us and our program. It is more versatile, easier to use, more sensitive and better than we ever expected, and your team is great to work with for assistance and suggestions."
