Analytical Spectral Devices Introduces AgriSpec™ — the new compact and affordable, ultra-rugged NIR analyzer for soils and vegetation
Boulder, Colo., December 17, 2004 — Analytical Spectral Devices, Inc. (ASD), manufacturer of rapid precision, analytical and quality control instruments introduces the new ultra-rugged AgriSpec™ designed specifically for field analysis of soils and vegetation. AgriSpec™ is ideally suited for analyzing a wide range of organic and inorganic materials, including nutrient and moisture properties in soil, composition of manure and other biosolids applied as fertilizer to agricultural lands, animal forage, food products, wood products, paper, textiles, and petrochemicals.
AgriSpec™ is a compact and field portable precision instrument with a full spectral range (350-2500 nm) and rapid data collection (1/10 th of a second per spectrum). Including ASD’s fiber optic Contact Probe, the AgriSpec™ system is lightweight, ultra-rugged, and affordable. Combined with the ASD Leaf Clip, the AgriSpec™ becomes an incredibly powerful tool for a wide range of field applications.
Founded in 1990, Analytical Spectral Devices is the only manufacturer of truly field-portable, laboratory-quality Vis/NIR spectrometers, spectroradiometers, spectrophotometers, and corresponding software. ASD’s instruments perform well in a range of environmental conditions, in and outside of the laboratory, and have applications in pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, analytical chemistry, mining, soils analysis, grain, food and dairy, earth sciences, and pulp and paper industries worldwide.
