Sampling and Measurement
One analyser for all purposes

Optimised sampling solutions

Applying correct representative sampling in the first place is essential. Presenting the sample to the analyser in the right way
is a secound and equally important step to ensure results that are free from unpredictable sampling errors. It’s a matter of
finding the right balance between being right and being easy. All the sampling accessories developed by Q-Interline mentioned
below, are the result of our extensive experience and knowledge in the field of representative sampling and respect for the Theory
of Sampling.

Spiral Sampling
The Quant equipped with the patented spiral sampler offers truly representa-
tive scanning of heterogenic samples. Scanning an amazing 375 cm2 surface
in FT-NIR quality. With the Spiral Sampler you can avoid cumbersome and time
consuming pre-treatment of the samples.
Fresh Silage · Compost · Hay

Jar Sampling
The Jar Sampler is a unique accessory offering tumbling and spinning of
the sample in a sealed container. With the 125 ml glass jar the sample is
analysed by reflection measurement. The jar rotates continuously during analysis
reducing the effects of product heterogeneity.
Dry silage · Soil · Raw Materials · Feed

Cup Sampling
The Teflon Cup is easy to fill and empty with no corners like a petri dish. Scanning
is performed on the surface, eliminating effects from cleaning. To minimize the
effects from heterogeneity the cup is continuously spinning during analysis.
Butter · Fresh cheese · Margarine · Pasty products

Petri Dish Sampling

For many powders and products, the Petri Dish Sampler is the easy-to-use,
versatile sampling method. To minimise the effect from heterogeneity the
petri dish is continuously spinning during analysis. The petri dish can be made
of either glass, plastic or even Teflon.
Graded Cheese · Milk powders · Feed · Bone Meals

Disposable Vial Sampling

Liquids and fluids are analysed in transmission mode by means of disposable
glass vials. This means minimal preparation and no cleaning. The Vial Sampler
controls the sample temperature, eliminating temperature effects, making
results highly reliable.
Edible oils · Fat

Fibre Optic Sampling

This accessory enables remote and flexible scanning offering endless possibi­
lities. The interface makes it possible to use fiber optic cables and probes. A
wide variety of sampling cells and probes are available. Ideal for research and
special applications.

 DANISH QUALITY SINCE 1996
Since 1996 Q-Interline has
specialised in developing and
providing analytical solutions
to our customers.
We provide solutions for
quality and process control.
 
We invest in technology that matters
All solutions are based on three fundamental technology areas. All systems
use the same high-end Fourier Transform Near-Infrared spectrometer. On
top of that we add a keen focus and understanding of proper representative
sampling. Finally, we have significantly invested in intelligent digital technol-
ogy, offering a modern digital universe to efficiently support all solutions in
real-time.
We have invested millions in R&D and protected our best findings with
patents.
This means a 3-year warranty, no strings attached, on all products – they
are built to last!
We value customer effect
Our unique project model will ensure an efficient delivery process and max-
imise the customer effect. We accept that no processes or customers are
100% alike, and we have the willingness and skills to adapt to every project
with motivation and commitment.
We understand that an analyser doesn’t bring any changes until the results
are validated and these results are applied and used – this is our commit-
ment to focus on the customer effect in the short, medium and long term.
We believe in validation and trusted data
The consequences of analysers not providing the accuracy and precision
you expect are never free!
The best-case scenario may be “just” a loss of profit, but if production is off
it may also lead to a loss of customers and reputation. Production units are
built larger than ever, with a high level of automation. Feeding automation
models and process control algorithms with faulty sensor data will lead to
severe loss of control and profit.
That is the core motivation behind our intelligent surveillance of hardware
and application performance.
AnalyticTrust makes is easy for you to be certain that everything is okay.

FT-NIR Technology
Our analysers are powered by the latest ABB Bomem FT-NIR technology.

FT-NIR is short for Fourier Transform Near Infrared.

This technique offers fully digital access to the entire spectrum with
extremely low noise and high stability.

This means calibration lasts much longer and improved sensitivity and
repeatability detect smaller process and the variations with greater
certainty.
