Mobile App

Our NIRApp (iOS/Android) provides instant analysis results and standardizes data collection in the field.

Pairing the NIRApp and the device is done automatically via Bluetooth. To perform a scan, point the device towards a substance and press the button. The scan results are displayed on the smartphone screen within seconds and are easy to read and interpret.

Fast and reliable measurement

With our cloud-based solution we offer a simple, intuitive interface that provides real-time scanning and results with multiple parameters showing the material composition.

Our easy-to-use mobile app is available on the iOS/Apple and Android app store and displays results within 3 seconds. The material library is constantly updated and made available in real-time.

Multiple Sample Scans

By taking multiple scans within a sample, the analysis results will be more accurate. Additionally, our web app, alongside the mobile app, serves as a robust solution for managing users, devices, and results.

By taking multiple scans of one sample we calculate the average results to improve the accuracy of quantification.

Digital Portal

Our digital platform for data management, with dashboards providing advanced analytics across all scans and devices.

Data analytics & history – Track, manage, and compare scans across devices in one place.

Our NIR Accessories

Our NIRLAB solution is designed for versatility and can be used to analyze a wide range of materials and substances—whether solid, liquid, or powder. Thanks to our range of accessories—including the transmission fixer, transflector and tablet probe—we can ensure optimal measurement setups tailored to different sample types and formats.

Transmission Fixture

The Transmission Fixture enables fast, real-time analysis of liquid samples for quality or nutritional attributes. It’s ideal for applications in dairy, liquid fertilizer, and more.

It includes an integrated tungsten lamp, supports standard cuvettes (0.5–10 mm), and accommodates thin films or filters up to 3 mm thick.

Tablet Probe

The Tablet Probe is ideal for fast, non-destructive analysis of individual grain kernels, seeds —even through plastic bags.

The probe includes a 16mm collection optic, a reference cell, and an 8mm adapter for smaller samples. This makes it a practical tool for quality control and research in agricultural applications.
