Near-infrared spectral analysis

We use PURPL PRO as a portable analytical tool for internal quality control. Near-infrared spectroscopy turns the interaction between light and a prepared sample into analytical information.

04 / QUALITY CONTROL

Consistency through data

Comparable measurements start with consistent preparation and a repeatable procedure. Digital records make it possible to follow changes over time and identify results that deserve a closer look.

Standardized preparationRepeatable measurementDigital documentation

Calibration & validation

Prediction models are developed against laboratory reference measurements. Performance depends on the applicable model, sample preparation and measurement conditions.

Measurement scope & limitations

Portable NIR provides model-based estimates for supported parameters. It does not establish the absence of pesticides, heavy metals or microbiological contamination. Required accredited laboratory testing remains a separate step.
