ArabLab 2025 Preview: BCL Showcases Gerhardt’s Advanced Fat and Protein Testing Solutions

From 23–25 September 2025, the Dubai World Trade Centre will host ArabLab 2025, the Middle East’s largest platform for laboratory innovation, biotechnology, and environmental sciences. At Stall H2-C70, BCL will demonstrate cutting-edge analytical solutions for food, agriculture, and pharmaceutical industries, featuring Gerhardt’s proven technology in fat and protein analysis.

Why Accurate Fat and Protein Analysis Matters

Precise measurement of fat and protein content is critical across multiple sectors:

• Food and Beverage: Ensures nutritional labeling compliance, quality assurance, and consumer trust. Inaccurate data can trigger costly recalls.
• Agriculture: Guides feed formulation and crop analysis to improve livestock health and yields.
• Pharmaceuticals: Guarantees formulations meet regulatory and therapeutic standards.
• Research: Supports reproducible scientific data for innovation and development.

Traditional methods such as manual fat extraction, hydrolysis, and protein analysis have long served laboratories but are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to human error. Automated systems now deliver faster, safer, and more reproducible results without compromising accuracy.

Gerhardt Fat Determination Technology

At ArabLab 2025, BCL will feature Gerhardt’s Total Fat Analyser solutions, designed to streamline workflows and provide precise, repeatable results.

Key Highlights:

• Automated Fat Extraction: High precision, faster turnaround, and minimal operator involvement.
• Automated Hydrolysis: Prepares samples efficiently for extraction, ensuring consistency.
• Manual Options: Suitable for smaller labs or educational setups, combining flexibility with cost-effectiveness.
• Safety and Sustainability: Incorporates solvent recovery and user safety features to align with modern lab sustainability goals.

These solutions allow laboratories to achieve regulatory compliance while increasing efficiency and confidence in fat content measurement.

Gerhardt Protein Analysis Solutions

Protein is a universal marker of quality, appearing in almost every food product, feed formulation, and pharmaceutical application. Accurate protein testing is essential to avoid regulatory issues, optimize costs, and ensure product safety.

BCL will showcase the Gerhardt Protein Analyser, a benchmark in accurate protein testing, supporting both Kjeldahl and Dumas methods.

Key Features:

• Automated Operation: Reduces human error and speeds up testing.
• Kjeldahl and Dumas Compatibility: Trusted global standards for nitrogen/protein determination.
• Block and Infrared Digestion: Flexible preparation methods for routine and energy-efficient workflows.
• Scrubber System: Neutralizes harmful fumes, safeguarding laboratory personnel.
• High Throughput: Handles large sample volumes for busy labs.

Kjeldahl vs. Dumas: Industry Gold Standards

Both methods ensure compliance, reliability, and reproducibility, which are essential for food labeling, livestock feed management, and pharmaceutical formulation.

Market Impact

The global demand for fat and protein testing continues to grow:

• Protein diagnostics: USD 5.4B in 2025, growing at 5.4% CAGR.
• Protein detection and quantification: Expected USD 5.7B by 2033, at 7.5% CAGR.
• Host cell protein testing (pharma): USD 2.56B in 2025, 8.17% CAGR.

Accurate measurements drive cost efficiency, consumer trust, and regulatory compliance, making reliable analytical instruments a necessity rather than a luxury.
