Infratec NOVA gives you security, confidence and reliability in your grain analysis and is officially approved and established worldwide as the standard for determining protein, moisture, oil and starch.
Fair grain trading with the global standard in grain analysis
Infratec NOVA with the unique ANN calibration gives you results with outstanding accuracy and stability that enables you to analyse even the most unusual samples during difficult harvests. It is a global system for a global market built on 30 years of experience and harvest data comprising over 50,000 cross checked samples.
Keep the results flowing across the season
Stay in control of remote instruments through purpose built connectivity tools and monitor every instrument with remote diagnostics helping in rapid problem solving. Easy to plug and play instruments which enables instant swaps if needed during high season.
The most trusted way to ensure fair payment
The factory standardized instruments provide a common base for payment giving the exact same performance, reliability and repeatability. With the latest connectivity solutions offered by FOSS all instruments keep measuring the same regardless of local conditions making the Infratec NOVA the number one test for grain everyone agrees on.
