The Phoenix gives you three ways to get there — including keeping the calibrations you've already built on another platform. Use a calibration partner Start with the same forage calibrations North America's leading forage labs rely on. A reliable forage calibration takes thousands of samples with matching wet chemistry results, collected across crops, regions and growing seasons. Few labs have that data when they bring in a new instrument, so most license calibrations from a provider that does. Five of North America's major forage calibration providers license their calibrations for use on the Phoenix, and each of them runs Phoenix analyzers in its own affiliate labs. When you license a calibration from one of these partners, you're using the same models on the same instrument platform their own labs use every day. Calibration partners Cumberland Valley Analytical Services (CVAS) Dairy One Dairyland Laboratories NIRS Consortium (NIRSC) Rock River Laboratory Bring your legacy database Already invested years building calibrations on another NIR platform? Keep them. The Phoenix is custom-built for transferability — its configurable wavelength intervals can be matched to your existing instrument, and our transfer algorithms align spectra while compensating for instrument, math-treatment, and wavelength-scale differences. In many cases, no new samples required. Build your own Develop and fully own your calibrations with the Alligator Calibrator chemometrics software. Traditional, trusted chemometric workflows, multi-constituent calibration, and complete control of your data — with no subscription, no hidden costs, and no internet connection required.

Near-infrared (NIR) analysis for the animal nutrition industry: protein, moisture, fat, fiber, and ash across forage, feed, rendering, and pet food. NIR Designed for Animal Nutrition Forage, feed, rendering, and pet food — the Phoenix NIR analyzer delivers the accuracy and speed that change how you test. Request Information Explore the Analyzers FORAGE FEED RENDERING PET FOOD Automate forage analysis across every crop A full forage analysis means 30+ parameters, each with its own chemistry method — some running hours or days. The NIRSC estimated a complete analysis at 325 operator-hours; NIR delivers the same analysis in minutes. The Phoenix Sideloader with Autosampler goes further — load up to 50 samples and it runs them automatically and unattended. That throughput is why many of North America's commercial agriculture labs — running hundreds of samples a day — adopted the Phoenix. Several are calibration providers themselves and offer their forage calibrations on the Phoenix, so a new lab can start on proven calibrations from day one. Explore the NIR Forage Analyzer → Measured head-to-head — and it led the field on accuracy A prospective buyer designed and ran the test: the Phoenix against three competing NIR and FT-NIR analyzers on soybean-meal protein. All four ran the same 21 samples, each on its own native commercial calibration, against an independent validation set held out from calibration. The customer designed and ran the evaluation — not the vendor Same 21 soybean-meal samples, protein 44.4–47.6% Each analyzer on its own native commercial calibration The Result The Phoenix had the lowest prediction error of the four analyzers: an SEP of 0.28% protein (R² 0.86), compared with 0.57, 0.65 and 0.90% (R² 0.52, 0.27 and 0.15) for the three competing NIR and FT-NIR analyzers. Explore the NIR Feed Analyzer → Agrees with the combustion lab — in seconds, not minutes A global protein processor evaluated the Phoenix using an independent validation set of 13 meat & bone meal samples. Protein predictions matched the LECO combustion reference with an SEP of 0.45% and R² of 0.98 across a 42–53% range (slope 1.00, bias +0.11, n = 13). Moisture (SEP 0.24, R² 0.95), fat (SEP 0.20, R² 0.80) and ash (SEP 0.69, R² 0.97) also tracked the reference closely. With no reagents and minimal sample preparation, NIR carries less operator variation — which translates into tighter repeatability, with results in seconds rather than minutes. As a secondary method, NIR cannot exceed the reference method's accuracy and typically carries 1–1.5× its error. The 0.45% SEP observed here is exactly consistent with that expectation. NIR's Honest Limitation Explore the NIR Rendering Analyzer → Every parameter becomes a quality-control point Pet-food quality is a process-control challenge: every bag must match, batch after batch. Moisture governs dryer control and shelf life; degree of cook reflects extruder conditions and drives digestibility and texture; protein and fat set palatability; ash tracks mineral consistency. Because results return in seconds, operators can adjust the dryer or extruder to bring a drifting batch back into spec — before it becomes rework.

Your lab isn't limited to them — the full 600–2500nm range and a year of included calibration development are there to take you toward the constituents your own research targets. Built for Research, Not Just Routine Analysis A routine analyzer is built to run one commodity, the same way, for years. Research doesn't work like that. The samples change, the questions change, and the students change — and the instrument has to keep up with all of it. Extended 600–2500nm range A wider range than routine analyzers, spanning the visible and full near-infrared regions so one platform accommodates a diverse array of research applications rather than a single commodity. Total Sample Scan Innovative sample presentation analyzes the entire sample, not a small window of it — reducing the subsampling variation that undermines reproducibility. Your data stays yours Export results to Excel or LIMS and review the full history in BlueScan — the instrument feeds your analysis rather than trapping results inside itself. Calibration Flexibility Use a calibration from one of our partners, or transfer a database you developed on a legacy NIR platform. Your first year of calibration development is included either way.

Near-infrared (NIR) analysis for the oilseed industry: moisture, oil, protein, fiber, and chlorophyll across whole seed, press cake, meal, and finished oil NIR Designed for Oilseed Processing & Breeding Whole seed, flakes, press cake, meal, pomace, crude oil and by-products — the Phoenix NIR analyzer measures every stream in your process on one instrument, in about 30 seconds. Request Information Explore the Analyzers One NIR instrument for every stream in the plant Most oilseed operations end up with separate methods for seed, for meal and for oil. The Phoenix Top Window takes all three on the same instrument — you change the cup, not the analyzer. Three cup types cover everything from unground whole seed to finished oil. That matters beyond the equipment list. When incoming seed, press cake and finished oil are all read on one instrument, the numbers sit on a common basis — the residual oil at the press is directly comparable to the oil you graded on the way in, instead of two methods you have to reconcile. And because the Phoenix is fully sealed to IP62, the same analyzer works in the QA lab or out at the press, so lab and at-line results don't drift apart. Three cup types, for every product you measure Large Cup Solids, ground and unground Ring Cup Ground samples and seed Transflectance Cup Liquids Explore the Oilseed Analyzer → Load up to fifty samples, walk away, get the seed back intact Breeding programs are throughput problems. The Phoenix Sideloader with Autosampler runs batches of 30–50 unattended — or continuously, as you keep adding cups — and the analysis is non-destructive, so every seed you screen is still available to plant. Identity travels with the cup, not the worklist Automating sample handling usually just relocates the clerical work: the cup is anonymous, its identity comes from its slot in the rack, and an operator maintains a worklist to match them up. One cup in the wrong position and every result after it attaches to the wrong seed line. The RFID tag system removes that failure mode — the sample ID and product code are written to the cup's own tag, and the Phoenix reads them back at the moment of the scan so you can load the rack in any order. Explore the Canola Analyzer → Measured head-to-head on soybean meal — and it led the field A prospective buyer designed and ran the test: the Phoenix against three competing NIR and FT-NIR analyzers on soybean-meal protein. All four ran the same 21 samples, each on its own native commercial calibration, against an independent validation set held out from calibration. How the evaluation was run The customer designed and ran the evaluation — not the vendor Same 21 soybean-meal samples, protein 44.4–47.6% Each analyzer on its own native commercial calibration Results compared against the reference laboratory, with no bias or slope adjustment applied The Result The Phoenix had the lowest prediction error of the four analyzers: an SEP of 0.28% protein (R² 0.86), compared with 0.57, 0.65 and 0.90% (R² 0.52, 0.27 and 0.15) for the three competing NIR and FT-NIR analyzers. Explore the Soybean Analyzer → Screening thousands of seed lines without spending the seed Pennycress is being bred from a common weed into an aviation-fuel crop — a winter cover crop whose oil suits renewable diesel and jet fuel. Reaching that point meant characterizing thousands of genetic lines for oil, moisture and protein. The Phoenix NIR analyzer is what made screening at that volume possible. The seed is worth more than the measurement Early-generation breeding material exists in quantities too small to spend on a wet-chemistry test — consume the sample to measure it and the line is gone. Spectral data collected across thousands of seed samples was used to build calibration models predicting oil content, moisture and protein composition, and because the measurement is non-destructive, the same seed continued straight into the next generation. That changed what the program could evaluate. Analysis time and cost dropped enough to support genuinely high-throughput selection — which is the constraint that decides how quickly a new crop reaches commercial scale.
