CALIBRATION CURVES

Within the structure we have consolidated a team of highly specialized professionals who collaborate together in the design and implementation of all solutions tailored to customers. In particular, the “Application and Chemometry” section is used for the development of calibration curves for our products and is available to anyone who requires support for the development of their calibration models, even on NIR, VIS-NIR and NIR-extended systems already existing and not necessarily provided by us. We provide our experience to design, execute and maintain calibration models for the most different applications, guaranteeing our support both on site and remotely.
