Central Laboratories and CRA-W establish the world's largest NIR spectral data base.Central Laboratories, Banbury UK and CRA-W, Gembloux Belgium have combined their technical knowledge and resources to produce a multi-millioni pound NIR NIR Near Infrared NIR National Inventory Report NIR National Identity Register (UK) NIR Near-Infrared Reflectance NIR Non-Ionizing Radiation NIR Net International Reserves NIR National Internet Registry NIR Northern Ireland Railways spectral spectral /spec·tral/ (spek´tral) pertaining to a spectrum; performed by means of a spectrum. spec·tral adj. Of, relating to, or produced by a spectrum. database, INGOTT. INGOTT offers new and existing users of NIR spectroscopy spectroscopy Branch of analysis devoted to identifying elements and compounds and elucidating atomic and molecular structure by measuring the radiant energy absorbed or emitted by a substance at characteristic wavelengths of the electromagnetic spectrum (including gamma ray, in the international food processing Food processing is the set of methods and techniques used to transform raw ingredients into food for consumption by humans or animals. The food processing industry utilises these processes. , milling, grain, and animal feeds industries a highly cost-effective solution for measuring moisture, protein, ash, fat, fibre, minerals and starch starch, white, odorless, tasteless, carbohydrate powder. It plays a vital role in the biochemistry of both plants and animals and has important commercial uses. and other nutritional values across a vast spectrum of raw materials and finished products. Two of the most significant advantages of this development are that the calibration equations can be supported on all NIR hardware and require only minimal customer maintenance. Users will also benefit from having a calibration package that is very much a 'plug and play' facility which will be constantly improved and , developed jointly by Central Laboratories and CRA-W. "NIR users can have total confidence in employing these equations as they have been derived from a vast spectral data base of proven calibrations backed up by accredited accredited recognition by an appropriate authority that the performance of a particular institution has satisfied a prestated set of criteria. accredited herds cattle herds which have achieved a low level of reactors to, e.g. supporting wet chemistry," says Chris Piotrowski, Director Central Laboratories. "These calibration sets, which are essentially the power behind NIR, are built on seasonal, geographical and extensive product sample varieties collected over a decade, with the equations having been derived and validated by experts in the field of spectroscopy." Announcing the signing of the joint agreement between Central Laboratories and CRA-W, Pierre Dardenne, Head of the Quality Department at CRA-W said: "This is a very exciting development that offers for the first time a whole suite of accessible calibrations that can be used globally." He continued: "As the world's population is predicted to increase dramatically, thereby placing greater demand on agriculturalists and food producers, NIR spectroscopy is destined des·tine tr.v. des·tined, des·tin·ing, des·tines 1.

INGOTT, being a continuing and evolving universal tool, can have a highly influential impact wherever NIR spectroscopy is used."
