Identify Gluten Contaminations with High Accuracy
Naturally, gluten-free oats are often contaminated with foreign grains that are high in gluten because of farming, storing, or transportation practices. According to the FDA requirements, a consumer product classifies as gluten-free if it contains fewer than 20 ppm of gluten.
The regulator also requires frequent sampling, and this is the most challenging part. Tens of thousands of grains must be assessed in a short time window by specially trained personnel to detect potential contaminations. The process is very resource-intensive, and results are subject to human error.
The groundbreaking QSorter® technology solves this challenge in a fast and intelligent fashion. By combining near-infrared spectroscopy and machine vision, the device achieves outstanding results: 99% accuracy in measuring kernels at high speed. Furthermore, the QSorter® device swiftly transports kernels to the relevant bins thereby removing the human error factor and mundane hand labor.

No Sample Preparation
With the QSorter® Explorer, no sample preparation is needed. You can simply feed your sample into the instrument and run the device. It can measure and analyze the quality and physical properties of oats, of every single kernel in your sample. It is 20 times faster than manual inspection while being consistent and providing extensive data.
Reduce Inspection error from 20% to 2%
The high detection accuracy of the QSorter® allows you to drastically reduce the inspection error, which is estimated at 20% if classical practices are used to identify the contamination from barley, Wheat, and rye kernels.
Remove Subjectivity
With its unique sorting and analysis capabilities, the QSorter® Explorer can accelerate and standardize your quality inspection process, optimize your workforce, and reduce errors. You will be able to save time and resources while increasing confidence in the quality control processes.
