- Sample Volume
- Flexible 50~150ml, 3 types of sample cup
A benchtop near-infrared analyzer that returns moisture, protein, fat, ash and fibre from an unprepared sample in under a minute. Diffuse-reflectance measurement means the sample is poured, read and returned, no reagents, no digestion, nothing consumed.
Key features
- Diffuse-reflectance measurement supports granules, strips and powders.
- A temperature-stabilized indium gallium arsenide detector supports repeatable spectra.
- Interchangeable sample cups accommodate different sample volumes.
Applications
Built for grain trading, feed milling and oilseed processing laboratories.
- raw material acquisition
- production inspection
- seed screening
- new production evaluation in the feed industry
- oil processing
- grain trade
Choosing the right configuration
Define the sample matrices, reported constituents, calibration models, sample presentation, and daily throughput before selecting the configuration. ConductScience reviews those requirements against the intended quality-control workflow.

What does this instrument measure, and who is it for?
It measures moisture, protein, fat, ash and fibre in grain, feed and oilseed. It is built for grain trading, feed milling and oilseed processing laboratories. It returns a compositional result from an unprepared sample in under a minute, so it can sit at the point where material is accepted or rejected.
What measurement principle does it use?
Diffuse-reflectance near-infrared measurement against calibration models built for grain, feed and oilseed matrices. The sample is poured, read and returned.
Which specifications are confirmed?
The specification table lists ten confirmed ordering parameters for this instrument. Use them to compare the operating range, utilities, and analytical performance required by the method. They include Optical Bandwidth at 10.95 + 0.3nm @ 1395.5nm, Background Noise at Less than 50μA and Sample Volume at Flexible 50~150ml, 3 types of sample cup.
What should be confirmed before ordering?
Confirm the calibration model for your specific matrix, sample cup selection, and how results will be correlated against the reference method. These are configured and quoted per installation, so raise anything unusual about the site during quote review rather than after delivery.
What else is needed to run it?
A calibration model built for the matrix you actually run, and reference-method data to validate it against. The instrument is the easy part.
How is it supplied?
This instrument is configured and quoted per installation rather than sold at a list price. Request a quote and we will confirm the configuration, the site requirements and the lead time before anything is ordered.
