Miris Solution

To prepare individualised nutrition through target fortification, there is a need for analysis of the milk to determine the concentration of protein, fat and carbohydrates. Miris provides a complete solution for this analysis.

Through years of experience Miris has developed a portfolio of instruments and consumables that is tailored to ensure that the complete workflow related to analysis of breast milk is optimised to provide the most accurate and reproducible results.

Miris Milky Way

In Sweden target fortification for preterm infants has been standard of care since the 90s. At Swedish neonatal units the mother's own milk is always the first choice to be given to the preterm baby. If not available, donor milk from other moms will be provided. The milk is collected and analysed to determine the macronutrient content, and then fortified according to the clinician’s recommendations to meet each baby’s needs. This will allow for maintenance of protein intake and the protein:energy ratio.

Combining Miris' extended knowledge of analysing human milk and the process used by neonatal units in Sweden, it is possible to map out how to optimise breast milk analysis and enable target fortification. We call it The Milky Way.

Our solution includes Miris Human Milk Analyzer for analysis, Miris Ultrasonic Processor and Miris Heater for optimising sample preparation, a range of consumables such as a cleaning solution, control solutions, and tubes, syringes and bottles. Separate service packages are also available.

Step 1: Collection - collection of mother's own milk or donor milk.

Step 2: Analysis - due to the large variation in macronutrients in human milk, analysing to know the contents of fat, protein and carbohydrates is crucial

Step 3: Optimize - knowing the content of fat, protein and carbohydrates it is possible to calculate how much needs to be added depending on the weight and age of the preterm baby.
