The NIR calibration is periodically tested and expanded to include “unusual” and “extreme” samples that may not have previously been in the calibration file. AGRI ANALYSIS continuously contributes samples to ISI/PSCO for this purpose. B. Just as a yard stick can be used to accurately measure items between its extremes (1 inch to 36 inches) so can the NIR Forage Testing System determine concentrations of certain nutrients in products within the range of its calibrations. Expanded calibrations extend the limits of the NIR system and at the same time maintain its precision and accuracy. C. Unlike conventional “Wet Analysis” that involves the frequent weighing and measuring of reagents and chemicals, The NIR forage testing procedure from Agri Analysis has very few places in which “Human Error” can enter in and affect the final test results. Agri Analysis offers to you the fastest forage testing service available anywhere, Forage test results are available to you in less than 36 hours. They offer same day service on samples shipped by mail. Free pickup of samples is available in Lancaster and Surrounding Areas.
