Protein % by weight, as is Kjeldahl
Fat % by weight, as is Soxhlet
Ash % by weight, as is Ashing Oven
Salt % by weight, as is Titration

12. NIR in Fishmeal – Trial at Matis
• Some 200 samples were provided by SVN and Matis
• All samples were scanned on DA7250
• Analyzed for Moisture, Protein, Fat and Ash, using Perten’s global
calibration models
• Results were good but not optimal
• Matis provided samples with Salt and TVN values
• New calibration models were developed by Perten
• Feasibility study carried out on Cadaverine in Fishmeal
21. NIR Networks – Basic ideas
• Ensuring a uniform, fair and cost
effective form of quality assurance and
basis for payment
• A common accredited reference
laboratory
• Rapid analyses based on international
standard methods
• Easy-to-use analytical instruments with
identical specifications
• Minimized operator influence on
results
• ’Approved’ calibration models
• All instruments are compared to a
’Master Instrument’
22. NIR Networks - Advantages
• Centrally controlled calibration models and
reference analyses
• No local influence on results gives a uniform and fair
classification of products
• Simplified quality assurance for the users
• Calibration monitoring through the network using
web based software
• Daily check sample
• Powerful tool for implementing an Icelandic
standard
• Harmonized quality control on produced fishmeal
23. NIR Networks - Advantages
• Building a common sample database
• Better and more robust calibration models gives
reliable analysis results
• Few reference samples per network member
-> Lower analysis costs!
• Yearly updates
• Reduced development costs for new analysis
parameters and products, eg
• Cadaverine
• Raw materials
• Same calibration models used for both process
control and out-loading

25. NIR Network - Organisation
• Steering Committee
• Representatives from users, reference laboratory and instrument
supplier
• Reference Laboratory
• Matis Laboratories
• Accreditations: ISO 17025, SWEDAC
• Certification in acc. With ISO 9001 och ISO 14001
• Controls:
• Ring tests in Iceland and Europe
• Third party revisons by customers
• Calibration Center
• Perten Applications Group – Stockholm / Matis Reykjavik
• Administration Center
• Matis Neskaupstadur
• Technical Support
• Perten Technical Group – Stockholm & Icepack - Reykjavik
26. NIR Network – Calibration Monitoring
• The Master Instrument is compared to reference
analyses at the accredited laboratory
• Samples are sent in by network members on a regular
basis
• Some 100 control samples collected from all
participating factories each year
• Results are available on the internet
• NetPlus Reports – Web based reports software
• Updated regularly with new samples
27. NIR Network - Standardisation
• The Master is validated and adjusted against reference
analyses
• The Reference Laboratory sends out reference samples once
a year for instrument control
• Typically 10 samples per product type
• Scanned on every instrument in the network
• Scans collected via internet by the Admin. Center
• Predicted results are compared to the Master
• Individual instruments are adjusted via internet if needed
28. NIR Network - Standardisation
• The Master is validated and adjusted against reference
analyses

30. NIR Network– Instrument monitoring
Continuous monitoring of instrument stability
• Instrument Self-Diagnostics
• Daily Check Samples
• Relevant sample material
• Synthetic sample (Polystyrene)
• Analyzed daily to confirm stability
• Statistics in Results Plus instrument software
31. NIR Network – Outlier handling
• ’Outliers’ during analysis
• Samples that deviate from samples in the calibration
sample database
• Spectral difference or difference in content (range)
• Sent to Reference Lab for chemical analysis
• Added to calibration sample database for updating
and improving calibration models
32. NetPlus Reports
• Information on all reference samples is available
for all participants in the network via internet
33. NIR Network – Costs
Network price for the instrument
• DA7250 NIR Analyzer: € 48 000
Annual fee

34. NIR Network – Summary
Participating in an NIR Network cooperation
• Simplified and cost-effective quality assurance
• Increased credibility for NIR analyses
• Quality certified by accredited laboratory
• Reduced time spent and costs for upkeep of NIR
analyses for product controls
• Lower costs for developing new NIR analyses
