Central Laboratories’ Near infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy facilities provide two key functions, these being the provision of NIR calibration equation sets for users of NIR instruments and performing routine sample analysis for organisations that do not have their own testing facilities. Calibration equation sets under the INGOT® registered trade mark are run in conjunction with the Company’s unique SpecMan® Gold software. NIR spectroscopy is used extensively throughout the animal feed, milling, grain and food industries.
