Compost and soil

AgriQuant series

Powerful analyser for soil and compost

In the Agricultural industry there is a growing need for analysis of soil, compost and related products. The products are often analysed using traditional analytical methods which are often time consuming, cumbersome and require trained personel. In soil and compost a high number of samples are often analysed, meaning that using traditional methods this work involves a large amount of time and ressources.

The AgriQuant series will deliver analytical results in less than a minute for multiple parameters, meaning that the time and ressources spend can be reduced.

Excellent performance and low cost of ownership

The AgriQuant series is supplied with a powerful detector, e.g. InGaAs or InAs which is needed in order to obtain analytical results of high quality. A powerful detector is needed especially in the analysis of dark products like soil and compost. The exceptional spectral performance of the AgriQuant will allow you to analyse for standard parameters but also enables analysis of special components.

The AgriQuant series has no scheduled maintenance and the light source has an expected lifetime of 10 years, this means that you can save on expensive maintenance contracts which normally have to be signed for this type of analytical equipments.

The sample containers used for the analysis can be cleaned an re-used after analysis, helping to keep the cost per analysis very low.

Flexible systems with many possilities

There is a large number op optional samling accessorie available for the AgriQuant, which will enable you to analyse other types of products if needed. The External PC makes it possible to connect label printer, barcode reader, touch screen etc to the AgriQuant system, especially useful if many samples have to be analysed.

AgriQuant A1

Fast analysis of mushroom compost

It is essential for mushroom compost producers to know amount of nitrogen, ammonia, Application note mushroom compost moisture, ash and pH value during every production steps.

The AgriQuant A1 FT-NIR from Q-Interline will supply analysis results for your mushroom compost in less than a minute, enabling you to analyse many samples in a short period of time and to replace time consuming traditional methods.

The AgriQuant A1 will provide fast results for a large number of components in your mushroom Compost, e.g. nitrogen, ammonia, moisture, ash and pH. The cutting edge spectral performance of the AgriQuant A1 will enable you to analyse even more components in your sample.

Sampling

The sample is analysed by reflection measurements in 125ml glass jars with lid, which are rotating during analysis. When rotating the glass jar the sample is constantly mixed. This ensures representative sampling and that effects from product heterogeneity are reduced. 
The glass jar has a large opening for easy filling. The lid ensures that the sample is stored under stable conditions and protected from influence from the surroundings. This is important for dried ground products that they do not take up water from the air before analysis. After analysis the sample is stored easily and can be safely sent to reference analysis or stored. 
The size of the glass jar enables the use of barcodes, which are easily read by a barcode reader connected to the AgriQuant A1.  

Software

The AgriQuant A1 is supplied with a powerful software package consisting of InfraQuant Operator Software and Horizon QI spectroscopic software.

InfraQuant QC software is combining user friendliness with high level of data security. The Operator is guided through the steps of the analysis sequence, in most cases in native language.
This ensures that standard operating procedures are followed and that consistent results are obtained independent of operator skill level and experience.

Results of the analysis are presented with clear figures with integrated color codes. The color codes reflect the validity of the results measured against preset criteria.

Horizon QI spectroscopic software offers a series of powerful spectroscopic tools for the advanced user. Horizon QI is used to verify the performance of your system and for troubleshooting. The Horizon QI Advanced Instrument Health will tell you the status of your system with more than 50 values tagged every Second.

The advanced user can collect, view and manipulate spectra in Horizon QI for optimization and R&D purposes. The Horizon QI software can be extended with further functionalities through a series of add-on modules.

Workstation

The AgriQuant A1 comes with an external workstation which eliminates the disadvantages of build-in Computers. Upgrading and replacement is easily performed on-site reducing the potential downtime of the equipment to a minimum.

With the external computer it is possible to connect a series of accessories like touch screens, label printer, barcode reader etc. offering the user maximum flexibility.

Low cost of ownership - Save on expensive maintenance contracts

The AgriQuant A1 has no scheduled maintenance. The light source has an expected lifetime of 10 years and the laser is solid state maintenance free. This will enable you to save the cost for Expensive maintenance contracts

The AgriQuant A1 uses no chemicals and the glass jars used for the analysis can be cleaned and reused many times. This will keep the cost per analysis very low.
