Desk Top Model Moisture Tester AN-800
The AN-800 Grain Tester is capable of measuring
moisture?content and protein in grains.
The AN-800 performs?measurements using
a near-infrared transmittance method in?which
samples
are illuminated with different wavelengths
of?light ranging
between 918nm and 1045nm.
Compositions are calculated based on the
transmittance
of?this light. Preprocessing of samples,
such as husking
and?grinding, etc., are not necessary with
the AN-800.
Measurements are started by simply loading
a sample into
the sample case. This allows for quick,
simple and
nondestructive composition analysis.
Compared to the infrared reflectivity measurement
method,
the near-infrared transmittance method employed
by
the AN-800?is relatively little affected
by the shape or
color of the sample and?thus provides excellent
measurement
characteristics.
The AN-800 performs repeated measurements
at multiple
locations across a sample in a short period of
time and then
displays the processed results of these measurements.
Measurement data can also be printed out
on an optional
printer or transmitted to a personal computer.
