Agro Laboratory as a Service (aLaaS) is the worldwide NIRS network of Eurofins Agro Testing for analysis of roughages, feeds, raw materials, TMRs and soil. Within this aLaaS network, every laboratory will get similar results, no matter where the NIR analysis is done. All aLaaS procedures meet the high quality standards of Eurofins Agro Testing: the reliability of the analysis is guaranteed!

NIRS, or Near-InfraRed Spectroscopy, is an analytical method that uses the interaction of near-infrared light with the molecules of a sample to produce an absorption spectrum. This spectrum is computed, using chemometric models, within a database of samples with a known composition based on selected reference methods

Extensive NIRS databases

Eurofins Agro Testing has extensive and regularly updated NIRS databases containing both NIRS spectra and analytical results from classical reference methods like Weende analyses. These databases, developed for all common roughages, feeds, raw materials and TMR’s, include a large number of samples originating from around the globe, from multiple harvest years.

Eurofins Agro Testing, via aLaaS, is able to reliably derive a great number of different nutrients and parameters from its database that could also include customised parameters.

The aLaaS network

An increasing number of laboratories and countries already joined the unique aLaaS network. Most of the laboratories in the aLaaS network are not owned by Eurofins Agro Testing. They are independent laboratories offering a comprehensive service package. They collaborate with Eurofins Agro Testing for analysis of roughages, feeds, raw materials, TMRs samples and soil samples.
