A method of analysis, analysis system, program product, apparatus, and method of supplying analysis of value incorporating the use of at least one data acquisition device, a central processor, and a communication link that is connectable between the data acquisition device and the central processor. The central processor is loaded with multivariate calibration models developed for predicting values for various properties of interest, wherein the calibration models are capable of compensating for variations in an effectively comprehensive set of measurement conditions and secondary material characteristics. As so configured, the calibration models can compensate for instrument variance without instrument-specific calibration transfer. Measurement results generated by the central processor can be transmitted to an output device of a user interface.

A process for detecting low levels of a predetermined quality trait present in an inhomogeneously distributed particulate substrate involving the steps of: (a) providing a particulate substrate to be analyzed; (b) providing a spectrometer with an electromagnetic detector capable of performing spectroscopic measurements with electromagnetic radiation; (c) providing a rotatable sample holder having a transparent area through which electromagnetic radiation may pass; (d) providing a tumbling member located within the rotatable sample holder for tumbling the particulate substrate contained therein; (e) introducing the particulate substrate into the rotatable sample holder; (f) simultaneously rotating and tumbling the particulate substrate contained within the rotatable sample holder; and (g) activating the spectrometer, thereby illuminating the particulate substrate contained within the rotatable sample holder with electromagnetic radiation.

Method and sampling device for detection of low levels of a property/quality trait present in an inhomogeneously distributed sample substrate

A method of characterizing an agricultural product at a location, and analysis system, comprising a sensor for generating data, a central processor for receiving the generated data and manipulating the data to calculate a value of at least one property of the product, and displaying the value in the vicinity of the sensor . Information is transmitted between sensor , central processor and display using a telecommunication link
