Everyone knows the value of data these days. The value of NIR calibration data (spectral data, it’s associated reference chemistry, that spans multiple crop years and production runs) is often a major inhibiting factor to upgrading old spectrometers or changing from an ill-suited vendor. This short case study demonstrates the ability to transfer calibration databases across an instrument/vendor platform to take advantage of the latest technology while working with a supplier who can meet the majority of food and agri analysis requirements.
