KPM Analytics Releases Ready-to-Use NIR Calibration Packages

WESTBOROUGH, Mass. – KPM Analytics announced the release of 10 new Near-Infrared (NIR) Calibration Packages for its SpectraStar XT NIR Analyzer Series. These ready-to-use packages provide food and agriculture producers with faster, simpler access to accurate, high-confidence quality measurements, said KPM Analytics. 

Food and feed processors rely on NIR technology to quickly assess key quality attributes such as moisture, protein, fat (oil) and fiber — measurements made possible by robust calibration models that convert spectral data into actionable results, said the company.

KPM said its new calibration packages introduce more than 200 validated calibration models, expanding product coverage and giving SpectraStar XT users immediate access to precise, reliable analysis across a wide range of agricultural and processed food products. Combined with the SpectraStar XT's high signal-to-noise optical design and patented TAS (True Alignment Spectroscopy) technology, these packages deliver a ready-to-use quality control solution, said KPM Analytics. 

"KPM Analytics has long been a leader in NIR innovation for the food and feed industries. SpectraStar XT analyzers are trusted for their accuracy and reliability, and these new Calibration Packages further strengthen that value," said Yuegang Zhao, president of the KPM Analytics Laboratory Solutions Division and chief commercial officer. "A calibration library of this depth and robustness takes years to build, and it enables producers to streamline workflows, maintain consistency and make confident, data-driven decisions."

The initial set of 10 calibration packages spans feed, feed ingredients, dairy products, grains, flours, oilseeds, snack foods and more. Each package includes between 10 and more than 30 calibrations, depending on the application. Updates to the packages and additional packages will be released as KPM continues to expand its growing calibration library.

Calibration Deployment Simplified with KPMLink Cloud Platform

Calibration packages can be distributed through KPMLink, KPM's cloud-based platform for networking, calibration deployment and data management across multiple SpectraStar XT analyzers. The system centralizes and simplifies calibration control, ensuring consistent methods across all instruments, said KPM Analytics. Through KPMLink, teams can instantly deploy and synchronize updates — including the new NIR Calibration Packages — to every SpectraStar XT analyzer connected to their organization, the company said. 

"KPMLink allows organizations to manage all SpectraStar™ XT analyzers from anywhere in the world," Zhao said. "Instead of manually downloading individual calibrations, KPMLink streamlines the entire process, ensuring every instrument remains up to date and operating correctly."
