Since its introduction in 1987, the Risograph has become an industry-standard instrument for the measurement of yeast activity and gassing power. The 12 channel, computerized system is simple to use, compact, and efficient. For both R&D and QA use, the Risograph provides a truly quantitative and reproducible method for evaluating a product's gas producing capabilities.

• Measures from 1 to 12 chambers simultaneously.
• Used in the studies to develop AACC method 89-01 for yeast activity and gas production.
• Suggested sample size is 50 grams, but samples from 10 to 300 grams can be used.
• All hardware is contained inside the chassis.
• The Risograph's onboard microprocessor has a precision sampling clock and output buffer for increased reliability and precision.
• Uses include: quality assurance of ingredients; development of new recipes; effects of cold or frozen storage on leavening; and selection and development of new methods and standards.
• Redesigned in 2005, National Manufacutring also offers retro-fits for existing computerized systems.
• New and expanded data analysis capabilities can be saved with each sample set.

RisoSmart allows the capture, analysis and display of gassing data utilizing a windows-based system that offers a variety of choices for data and curve presentations. The analytical system has been vastly expanded to include extensive spreadsheet and graphics. RisoSmart allows printing to Windows-based printers. User defined add-on modules make Risograph curve scoring easier. Reports can be customized.
