WEBINAR: Matrix F available to view as an archive

“Matrix F – The Big Fix For Feed Mill Operations”

Original Broadcast: Thursday, September 13, 2012

Presenter:
Howard Eubanks, Business Developement Manager – Feed and Grain – Bruker Optics, Inc.

The rational economic use of feedstuffs to produce poultry, fish, meat and milk has evolved from small farm operations to large scale industrial production. Today, large scale highly capitalized feed operations are under increasing stress as feed ingredient price escalation and volatility add substantial operating risk. The Matrix F FT-NIR Feed Analyzer can be used to protect operating margins by more reliably and economically blending feed ingredients to meet animal requirements. Ingredient buyers, nutritionists, and vegetarians can now access a tool for better control.

WEBINAR: Next Generation FT-NIR Spectroscopy – Black Box or Expert System?

“Next Generation FT-NIR Spectroscopy – Black Box or Expert System?”

Wednesday, May 9, 2012 at 11:00am – 12:00 pm EST

Presenter:
John Richmond, Vice President NIR & Process Technology – Bruker Optics, Inc.

This webinar will explore many of the common myths and misinformation about modern NIR spectroscopy and explain clearly and concisely the following issues and how they relate to everyday analysis in the Agriculture, Feed and Food (AFF) sector:

  • Critical comparison between the different technologies employed
  • Comparison between digital and optical resolution
  • The importance of getting good signal to noise in your spectra and Good NIR Practice (GNP)
  • How to build Reliable, Rugged and Robust calibrations – the 3R’s
  • Transflectance versus Transmission – which is better for rendered fats and IV of oils & fats

This webinar will appeal to lab managers, researchers and analysts in the AFF market sector.

FT-NIR analyzers scan in seconds without sample preparation making it possible to literally test any sample any time. Analytical protocols start with qualifying suppliers and verifying that the incoming raw materials comply with specifications to ensure manufacturers are getting what they pay for. In addition, FT-NIR can screen for unexpected presence of synthetic adulterants in the incoming ingredients as a quality firewall to check that manufacturers are not getting “more” than they pay for. Certificates of Analysis (COA) report on only a few parameters whereas the FT-NIR spectral pattern can be used to monitor quality and consistency on a lot to lot basis.
