Calibrating the
machine to your needs

To use the LaserAg Quantum machine, it must first be calibrated to your needs, more specifically, to the types of soil, forage or plants you want to analyze.

Done in collaboration with our multidisciplinary team, the calibration requires around 2,000 representative samples. For soils, the samples should include the range soil types and nutrient concentrations that are likely to be found on the territory, from poor to excessively rich. For plants, the samples should be representative of the crops grown.

After the samples have been homogenized, each one is split in two. One half is analyzed by LaserAg Quantum, and the other one by a local laboratory, using the traditional method. The local labs’ results are then entered into the LaserAg-LIMS software.

Our team then calibrates the machine using approximately 75% of the samples. The remaining 25% are used to validate the calibrated model. Finally, we give you a report explaining the validation results, e.g., the precision and accuracy of the technology as applied to your samples and analysis needs.
