OMNIS Client/Server boosts business performance with scalable server management, cutting costs by reducing hardware, energy use, and maintenance across locations.

This study shows how a pre-calibrated NIRS instrument is used for multiparameter analysis of several pet food quality indicators like protein, moisture, fat, and ash.

NIR spectroscopy enables fast, reliable analysis of key quality parameters in alfalfa forage (e.g., protein, fiber, and moisture) without any sample preparation.

NIR spectroscopy enables fast, reagent-free analysis of fat, moisture, protein, fiber, ash, and starch in animal feed, streamlining quality control with no sample prep.

It has been known for years that consuming too much nitrates from foodstuffs can result in cyanosis, particularly for small children and susceptible adults. According to the WHO standard, the hazard level lies at a mass concentration c(NO3-) ≥ 50 mg/L. However, more recent studies have shown that when nitrate concentrations in the human body are too high, they can (via nitrite) result in the formation of carcinogenic and even more hazardous nitrosamines.Known photometric methods for the determination of the nitrate anion are time-consuming and prone to a wide range of interferences. With nitrate analysis continually increasing in importance, the demand for a selective, rapid, and relatively accurate method has also increased. Such a method is described in this Application Bulletin. The Appendix contains a cselection of application examples where nitrate concentrations have been determined in water samples, soil extracts, fertilizers, vegetables, and beverages.
