One-Year Parts Warranty Every part covered for a full year, so an unexpected issue doesn't derail your research budget. Writing a proposal? We'll send you a quote for it. Equipment budgets are justified long before they're funded. Tell us what your lab is working on and we'll put together a written quote for the package you'd actually need — sized to your application, ready to drop into your budget justification. No obligation, and no need to have funding in hand. Request a Quote What the Phoenix NIR 6000 Measures Moisture The most widely modeled NIR constituent, and typically the first calibration a new program builds Protein Strong NIR response; central to feed, forage, grain, and oilseed work Fat & Oil Supports oilseed, rendering, and energy-density studies Fiber Structural carbohydrate analysis for forage and plant science Starch Digestibility and energy calculations Sugar Soluble carbohydrate work across crops and processed products Ash Mineral content and contamination These are the constituents most programs begin with. 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. Published Research Using Phoenix NIR Instruments Phoenix instruments appear in the peer-reviewed literature across grassland science, agronomy, and animal nutrition — including a sustained body of work from the grassland research group at the University of Göttingen.

Two Configurations, One Platform The Phoenix 6000 research analyzer comes in two configurations built around how your lab works. Both deliver 30-second analysis with the same accuracy — the difference is throughput and sample handling.
