What to do if Milkotronic LACTOSCAN SA shows 'Empty Camera' error?
- D
  David SandersAug 2, 2025
  If the Milkotronic Measuring Instruments displays an 'Empty Camera' error, it means the system hasn't sucked in enough milk or there's air in the sample. Make sure your sample is prepared correctly, without air bubbles, and that the suction is working properly. Ensure the suction pipe is fully submerged in the milk and that the milk isn't curdled. Also, inspect the pipes on the analyzer's rear panel. After starting a measurement, remove the sample holder to check if milk is flowing back into it.
