June 5, 2012 - Unity Scientific releases SpectraStar NIR ingredients and finished feed analysis package, which incorporates the Aunir INGOT calibrations database. Pre-installing INGOT calibrations into SpectraStar gives users immediate access to 350,000 samples, potentially saving them the thousands of dollars and significant time they might otherwise have to invest in developing their own calibrations.
The SpectraStar NIR analyzer offers a scanning range of 1200 - 2400 nm in the near infrared region and comes also with a six month trial of the Aunir's SPECMAN quality control software, which collates, stores, trends, interprets and reports data to support decisions at every step of the process lifecycle. Aunir, based in the U.K., has been the leading feed analysis calibration supplier for more than 30 years. With calibrations for more than 70 different ingredients, INGOT calibrations cover virtually all ingredients used in a feed mill, facilitating analysis of moisture, protein, ash, fat, fiber, starch and other nutritional and physical parameters.
Finished feed calibrations are available for poultry, swine/pig, ruminants, horse, fresh/salt water fish as well as a large range of feed concentrates.
The Unity Scientific Feed Analyzer is supplied complete with instrument, pre-loaded calibrations, sample cups along with installation and training. The calibration package covers 73 feed ingredients/raw materials and 32 finished feed types with guaranteed performance. The SpectraStar RTW near infrared instrument comes with a three year warranty and the SPECMAN quality control software from Aunir is provided for a six month free trial.
