Get results in four easy steps
Step 1: Fill the cup
AMINONIR® supports a huge variety of raw materials and finished feeds that can be scanned in order to receive detailed information about their nutritional values.
Step 2: Scan the sample
Place the sample in the NIR cup. Evonik’s technology can analyze the sample as it is (unground or ground). For AMINONIR® services you can use NIR spectroscopy devices from FOSS and BRUKER.
Step 3: Upload your data
Uploading is as easy as scanning. Within seconds, you can transfer the data by web browser or via the AMINONIR® Advanced web service interface. There’s no need to select any material types or input complicated data.
Step 4: Get your report
You’ll find everything you need to know about your raw materials or finished feeds in one detailed report.
The digital solution for science-based feed optimization
In NIR spectrometry, invisible near infrared light is beamed to a sample, causing molecules in the sample to vibrate. This interaction with the molecules consumes energy by absorbing elements of the introduced light. In the case of liquid samples, residual light passes through the material, while solid samples reflect the light. This light is measured with a detector and gives a spectrum.
The spectral information is further used and evaluated, for example to identify unknown samples (fingerprinting) or to estimate its nutritional composition via the application of NIR calibrations.
