Pork, beef, poultry and mixed-species products, plus plant-based alternatives, out of the box.
MEAT
Fat, protein and moisture while the line is still running
A ready-to-use model for beef and pork measures fat, protein, salt and moisture in seconds, at intake, during trimming and blending, and on the finished product.
READY TODAY
One model for beef and pork
Ready to use from day one. Scan raw or ground meat directly, with nothing to extract or prepare first.
1
Intake
Check incoming raw material against your specification before it enters production.

Plant-based alternatives, mixed-species products or any other formulation you make.
WHY IT MATTERS
A result while the batch is still on the line
Over-trimming to stay safe costs yield, and a specification miss found after shipping costs more. Fat and protein readings during trimming and blending let you hit target ratios precisely.
Every scan is logged, building a consistency record from intake to the finished batch rather than a single pass or fail.
HOW A MEASUREMENT WORKS
Three steps to a result
Whether your model comes from our library or was built on your samples, scanning works the same way.
1
Connect
Pair the device with the NIRStudio app on your phone.
2
Scan
Choose your model, place the device on the sample and press the button.
✓
Result
Read the result in the app. It is stored and synced to the web platform.
Accessories for brine, rendered fat and larger cuts
Transmission fixture
For liquid samples in standard cuvettes from 0.5 to 10 mm, with an integrated lamp.
Liquid sampling kit
Cuvettes and preparation tools for consistent, repeatable liquid scans.
Window collar
A wide optical window for sliding scans across a tray, a batch or a larger surface.
YOUR MODEL
Tuned to your cultivars and your press
The ready-to-use model gets you started on day one. Our chemometrics team can fine-tune it to your product and process, or build a fully custom model.
1
Scan and send
Scan each sample with the device and send the same sample to a lab for certified reference analysis.
2
We build your model
We match your scans to the reference results and build a calibration validated against them.
3
Ready to use
Your model loads into the NIRStudio app, ready for your team to scan against.
Adjusting the model usually takes 20 to 40 reference samples. A fully custom model is typically built from 50 to 150.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Scan raw meat or a ground sample directly, no extraction or preparation needed.
Yes. Our chemometrics team fine-tunes the global model to your product with as few as 20 to 40 reference samples, or builds a fully custom model from 50 to 150.
Accessories extend the same device: a transmission fixture and liquid sampling kit for brine, marinades and rendered fat, and a window collar for continuous scans across larger cuts.
