Featured Customer Story

The TA.XTPlus shows its sensitive side.

An adhesive company developed a special product with very low tack force. The product was strong enough to stick to whatever it was applied to but required almost zero force to pull off. The company needed an instrument that was sensitive enough to measure such an extremely low tack.

“The TA.XTPlus Texture Analyzer is a staple analytical tool in my lab.  It provides a great deal of versatility for various applications when we are dealing with meat and egg products.  We have developed multiple programs in order to assess quality issues such as meat tenderness, woody breast, and texture of comminuted products.”

Dr. Casey Owens, Professor at University of Arkansas

Compatible Software

The TA.XT Express works with our proprietary Exponent Connect Lite Software.

“I recently had to run a test for texture analysis of cooked chicken. This was my first time running this test, and I reached out to our TTC Regional Manager for support. He was amazing! He blocked out half of his day so that we could walk through the program together and I could learn how to set up the machine and program. I would not have been able to perform a successful test without his help!”
