Infratec™ Sofia
Check Cell
The in-built check cell contains a sample of durum wheat. The concept of the check
cell is that it will be used as a tool to monitor if the instrument changes significantly
from day to day. The sample of durum wheat should be replaced yearly or if the
sample is suspected to have changed its properties (e.g. dried).
An empty check cell is available in cases when import of grain is not possible. This
empty cell can then be filled locally and used in the same way as described above.
Filter Cell
The filter cell is used during the instrument self-test to check that the instrument is
sufficiently stable for performing measurements.
Sample Cell
Infratec Sofia arrives with one or more sample cells depending on the selected
instrument configuration and types of samples to be analyzed.
Reference Cell
The instrument uses this cell to obtain the base spectrum.
