NutriControl tested many portable NIR devices/companies. Quality of the device determines its success! NeoSpectra currently has the most accurate device.

A really portable and versatile instrument. Easy to handle and take away for NIR measurements in the field. Equipped with the rotating cup option, ideal for the acquisition of inhomogeneous samples as vegetable ones are normally. And giving immediate results directly on your mobile phone. A really good choice to monitor vegetables and improve their final quality.

I have been impressed at the spectral quality and reproducibility of the Scanner NIR device. The capability of the MEMS-based NIR spectrometer to collect spectra in the 1350 to 2500 nm region is key for capturing information-rich (O-H, N-H, C-H and C-C combination bands) signal that most other handheld system miss because of their wavelength selector technology. The Scanner has shown similar performances against FT-NIR benchtop systems in various food applications...

We evaluated the innovative FT-NIR MEMS spectrometer, namely the Neospectra Scanner (NS), covering the range from 1350 to 2500 nm. The achieved accuracy, affordability and the higher handling of NS than the other traditional field spectrometers, probably make this device more and more exploitable in soil survey and monitoring.

The NeoSpectra platform and AB Vista INGOT calibrations will provide AB Vista customers with the ultimate flexibility to measure their materials where they are and to get a real-time understanding of their feeding system.

Dairyland is excited to partner closely with Si-Ware to bring this technology to the field. This new agreement extends our testing capabilities to farms and feed mills and enables decision-making that was previously unfeasible.

Our customers are increasingly looking for more reliable and efficient ways of making quick and assertive decisions. In this context, having handheld equipment that can be used directly on farms, checking the nutritional values of the available food is extremely useful.

I was pleasantly surprised at the performance of the NeoSpectra Scanner for this study. The data shows analytically equivalent results using the same calibration test set which is amazing given the small and portable form factor of the Scanner.

Information on the short-wave infrared and its links to different types of industries (e.g., agriculture, forestry, food quality control, etc.) demands instrumentation, and app base software that can overcome current limitations provided by currently available spectrometers. For our kind of work, the Si-Ware short-wave infrared spectrometer provides unique opportunities for advanced research, at a very reasonable cost. The instrument has been a game changer.

We are exploring the potential of NIR technology to quantify insect lipids in several food matrices. So far, NeoSpectra scanner has given us amazing results and it is very easy to use.

Our customers have long understood the need for accurate materials analysis, and now more than ever, they are searching for portable solutions to conduct real-time sampling and accurate measurements. Through our collaboration with NeoSpectra by Si-Ware, we now have the opportunity to implement our calibration lines on a portable system that will bring value to all global users.

Fascinated by the effectiveness of NeoSpectra Scanner, grateful for the treatment received by all Si-Ware experts. The new era of NIR has arrived and we are ready to work with it.

Scanning the NIR wavelength region from 1350 to 2500 nm captures many of the principal absorption bands associated with forage nutritive value parameters. This makes hand-held NIR instruments such as the Neo Spectra Scanner a reasonable option for on-farm forage analysis.
