We deliver on a promise to eliminate the challenges with the flow systems in traditional milk analysers. There is no cell, no wear and tear on instru-ment parts, no risk of blocking, no air in the system, no need for special cleaning and no drift on the measurement cell. DairyQuant GO eliminates the use of chemical solutions and there is no need for standardisation. The DairyQuant GO can measure highly challenging samples such as whey concentrate, yoghurt mixes and milkshakes through to cream, milk, and skim with no cleaning between samples and no fuss. With the patented Pivette® sampling method you can run the samples in any order you wish – imagine a precise cream analysis, then a mascarpone sample to end the run with a high precision determination of low fat content in a whey sample – no carry over! The DairyQuant GO complies with the new IDF standard ISO 21543 I IDF 201: 2020 – Milk and milk products – Guidelines for the application of near infrared spectrometry.

FT-NIR instruments need supervision. They must be checked and re-calibrated at regular intervals in order to maintain the precision required to sustain the business case. Some results are used in Big Data interpretations and internal data flows and the effect of lost data quality is almost certainly bad data out. In daily operation AnalyticTrust manages a customisable schedule of verification activities very much like a workflow management tool. Validation must be performed at regular intervals and reminders are sent to operators. In cases of non-compliance escalation emails are sent to management. AnalyticTrust integrates directly to instruments and computers, receiving the results of measurements and storing them in the instrument database. This allows AnalyticTrust to perform analysis of the validation results and predict instrument degradation and failure. Automatic Performance Degradation detection is used to request unscheduled instruments calibration or parts replacement.

InSightView is the frontend software to monitor and control the daily operation of the InSight Pro analyser concept. InSightView offers a full overview of the measurement results and validity, running average, trend curves, etc. in a simple and efficient way. With the use of colour codes, set against fully configurable criteria, it is quick and easy to obtain information about the status of the production and the analyser with just a brief glance. InSightView is designed to be operated by process personnel with a multi-language user interface. > Software highlights: - Real-time analytical results - Built-in process stability indicator - Calibration sample relevance indicator - Link to AnalyticTrust for easy instrument surveillance and QA   - Intuitive and easy to use without training   - Select between multiple languages - Runs on Windows 10 pro

InfraQuant offers an easy-to-use platform to streamline QC operations and produce analytical results of high and trusted quality. We understand that the supervisor wants a highly configurable tool, whereas an operator is looking for simplicity. That is why InfraQuant has balanced both these aims and offers an advanced configuration module as well as an easy front interface to run the daily routines. The front-end Wizard guides the operator through the analysis sequence with information messages, warnings and reminders. The Wizard ensures consistent results independent of operator skills and experience. Our philosophy is to minimise the use of the mouse and work from a “next-next-next-ok” design perspective. > Software highlights: - Runs on up-to-date windows 10 - Intuitive and easy to use without training - The choice between multiple user languages - Easy link to AnalyticTrust for easy instrument surveillance and QA - Easy link to LIMS

With 25 years of experience and in-depth involvement in the dairy industry, Q-Interline has obtained solid knowledge of processes and operations in the global dairy sector, ranging from milk intake in QC laboratories to extensive experience in real-time process analysis. We can proudly say that we have carried out hundreds of projects in 40 countries to date, installed in a wide range of the top dairy groups in the world. This makes Q-Interline a strong and reliable partner, as we understand the needs and requirements of the industry and supply a total analytical measurement solution.

Our involvement in the agricultural segment stretches back to the beginning of the company’s history. Our high-end spectroscopic technology and everlasting focus on proper and representative sampling is the ideal platform for agricultural spectroscopy. We offer agricultural laboratories a range of analyser configurations, each ideally suited to handle the ever-present heterogeneity in samples present in this business segment. We take sampling very seriously and our analysers can be adapted to work on nearly any organic heterogenic agricultural sample type, using unique innovative sampling accessories. Leading examples are the sealed containers in the tumbling jars of the bottle sampler or the revolution in grass/hey/silage analysis – the Spiral Sampler.

This business area covers a vast range of applications and has been a natural part of our business since 1996. Whereas food products classically have a very high volume and a lower price per ton, the ingredients area is characterised by somewhat lower volume but a clearly higher price per ton. Both scenarios may greatly benefit from process optimisation, often following two different strategies. To optimise the process, a bias-free accurate insight into process dynamics and variations is needed. Many of our solutions have been developed together with customers seeking new innovative and value adding answers to well-known challenges, and our unique combination of curiosity and the skills present in our team has formed the basis for new products. Q-Interline’s analyser and project model are ideally suited to support exactly that, and we offer fast and reliable laboratory at-line units operated by process operators, as well as real-time in-line analysers.

The chemical industry uses spectroscopy as a regular tool in many forms such as UV-VIS and FT-IR. The industry adapted to the NIR and especially the FT-NIR technology in the beginning of the 90’ies and our base technology has been utilized ever since in very diverse applications. The industry is in many areas regulated by legislation demanding that release of products can only be done by the official methods, but the industry has learned to utilize the options to run in-process analysis and control the process. That is where Q-Interline and our partners can supply solutions. We offer an analyser for the laboratory as well as the process and we have extensive experience in designing and building tailor-made optical cells and probes in a wide range of materials. Having full control of the entire manufacturing process of probes, cells and optical fiber cables allows us to full-fill many demanding applications.
