QTA - Quality Trait Analysis
Thursday, February 23, 2012
Powerful analytics made quick and easy.

Pesticides

 

 Pesticides Literature 

 
The QTA System is ideal for analyzing active ingredient and other properties in crop protection products. Using our near infrared system, QTA can analyze all formulation types non-destructively (even granules!), thus eliminating extraction processes, reagents, and other sample preparation techniques – and results are obtained in less than 2 minutes.   
 
QTA develops calibrations that are specific to your formulations. Our development process has been streamlined based on our broad experience in developing calibrations for over 100 active ingredients. We use your retained samples, plus, in some cases, a few lab prepared samples, to build and test the calibrations. We also provide in-process analysis for many products.  

Capabilities

 
The following are examples of the types of analyses that we perform:
  • Active ingredient and/or inert levels in pesticide formulations
  • Active ingredient concentrations on treated seeds
  • Active ingredient levels on granules
  • N, P, K levels on fertilizer
  • Formulation components in adjuvants, pesticides and other blends
  • Extent of reaction or other critical parameters in chemical processes
