The ConductScience Near-Infrared Grain Analyzer delivers fast, non-destructive, multi-parameter quality analysis of cereal grains, oilseeds, and milled products. By measuring the characteristic near-infrared absorption signatures of grain samples, the instrument simultaneously quantifies moisture, protein, starch, fat, wet gluten, and ash content in a single, reagent-free measurement—making it practical for high-throughput quality assessment without consumable costs or sample destruction.
The analyzer is validated across the commodity crops most critical to food-chain quality control: wheat and wheat flour, paddy rice, milled rice, soybean, and corn. Each crop matrix is supported by its own dedicated parameter set, so laboratories and grain-handling operations can work across multiple commodities on the same instrument without switching platforms.
The key comparison qualifier buyers should evaluate is the breadth of analyte coverage per crop type. Unlike single-parameter meters, this platform returns a full nutritional and processing-quality profile per sample—moisture and protein for every supported grain, plus starch where it governs milling or fermentation value, fat content for soybeans, wet gluten for wheat processing suitability, and ash for flour grade classification.
Typical deployment contexts include grain intake and procurement labs, storage and elevator quality stations, flour mill process control, and research programs monitoring compositional variation across breeding lines or harvest seasons. Because configuration is matched to your specific crop set and measurement requirements, we recommend requesting a quote to ensure the instrument is set up for your sample matrices and analyte priorities.

Which grain and crop types does this analyzer support?
The analyzer supports wheat, wheat flour, paddy rice, milled rice, soybean, and corn. Each commodity has a dedicated measurement profile covering its relevant quality parameters.
What parameters can be measured for each crop?
Wheat: moisture, protein, and wet gluten. Paddy rice: moisture, starch, and protein. Milled rice: moisture, protein, and starch. Soybean: moisture, protein, and fat. Corn: moisture, starch, and protein. Flour: moisture, protein, and ash.
Is sample preparation or chemical reagents required?
No. The near-infrared measurement method is non-destructive, so samples are not altered during analysis and no chemical reagents are consumed. This keeps per-sample costs low and turnaround fast.
Can a single instrument handle multiple grain types in the same laboratory?
Yes. The analyzer is designed for multi-commodity use, allowing operators to switch between grain types and retrieve the appropriate parameter set for each—making it well suited to intake labs or mills that handle more than one commodity.
How is this instrument configured, and how do I get pricing?
Because optimal performance depends on matching calibrations and parameter sets to your specific crop matrices and laboratory workflow, the analyzer is supplied as a configured instrument. Submit a quote request describing your target commodities and measurement requirements, and our team will prepare a specification matched to your application.
