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.
