Texture Analysers

The CTX Texture Analyzer is AMETEK Brookfield's new advanced model for the compression/tension testing of materials. It brings an exciting new dimension of quick, efficient testing to busy labs that need to improve productivity while maintaining quality.

The CTX usability features allow for easy set up to get you up and running quickly. Whether you are testing the consistency of pills and tablets, the peel ability of a yogurt lid, or the tensile strength of lipstick, our new CTX will meet your ever-growing testing needs. 

The addition of TexturePro Software makes the CTX ideal for R&D labs performing material evaluation/character­ization tests. It also is great in QC applications where data can be sent or saved in multiple formats.  

Features and Benefits

• Provides a "real life" insight into physical properties
• Interchangeable load cells for optimal flexibility (eight choices ranging from 100g to 100kg)
• Easy-to-read display and easy-to-use intuitive controls
• Extended boom travels up to 280mm for longer reach testing
• High Precision: 500 Hz data output rate captures the precise moment there is a change to your sample
• The choice of three adjustable base tables allows for the versatility of sample testing
• 21CFR compliant with optional TexturePro Software

The Brookfield CT3 Texture Analyzer is a powerful universal testing machine that offers both compression and tensile testing at a much lower price than other testers in its class.

The CT3 can calculate, through compression and tensile data, a number of physical properties that have proven to be highly correlated to human sensory evaluation of food and other consumer products. With six built-in test modes and ten memory slots for operator-protected tests with administrator rights, a wide choice of accessories and an optional software package, the CT3 is perfect for most any physical testing requirements. The CT3 performs like a high end texture analyzer but at a fraction of the cost. Its uses can expand with your applications - or your testing imagination! The CT3's easy-to-operate design will have your R&D and QC up and running in no time
