Fat

Protein

Lactose

Energy

There is a crying need for analyzing breast milk in the neonatal departments of hospitals. This is especially true for premature babies when it is of the greatest importance to consider the nutritional composition of the breast milk. Today, there are no methods for hospitals to get immediate results from breast milk composition analyses. Swedish hospitals send samples to a central laboratory for analysis and the answer may take several days. These analyses are expensive and the procedures very demanding for hospital personnel.

With only one sample of 1–3 ml, Miris analytical instruments can produce results in a fast, reliable analysis of breast milk at the bedside to a very low cost. Miris cooperates with a leading researcher in neonatal medicine to further develop the methods for analyzing human breast milk. The company’s assessment is that this collaboration will soon lead to a breakthrough in bedside analyses at hospitals.

Miris analytical instruments can also be used for analyses and control of milk banks at hospitals. The analyses can lead to increased information about the nutritional content of breast milk. This means the staff can improve care of neonates. FMA also measures the water content in milk.
