RQflex ® - the pocket laboratory for quantitative on-site measurements in agriculture and horticulture

RQ in AgriculturePage 2 The Reflectoquant ® System 1. The instruments RQflex ® and RQflex ® plus 2. The tests Reflectoquant ® test strips Reflectoquant ® plus test kits 3. The barcode contains all information to operate the instrument

RQ in AgriculturePage 3 The Reflectoquant ® System The instruments RQflex ® - the basic instrument quantitative evaluation of Reflectoquant ® test strips. RQflex ® plus - with an additional benefit quantitative evaluation of Reflectoquant ® test strips and Reflectoquant ® plus test kits

RQ in AgriculturePage 4 Principle of reflectometry Kubelka-Munk equation Emitted light is absorbed by the coloured paper. The analyte concentration can be calculated from the amount of absorbed light. I0I0 I diffuse reflectance The Reflectoquant ® System

RQ in AgriculturePage 5 The double optic system and the two reaction zones on the test strip allow a simultaneous double measurement in one operational step. The barcode controlled software calculates the mean which is displayed. Double beam optics for increased accuracy The Reflectoquant ® System

RQ in AgriculturePage 6 Memory and documentation Storage of 5 different methods simultaneously Storage of 50 measurement results Data transfer to PC with RQdata interface and software for documentation The Reflectoquant ® System

RQ in AgriculturePage 7 RQdata print-out The Reflectoquant ® System

RQ in AgriculturePage 8 The Reflectoquant ® tests The product range includes 50 different Reflectoquant ® test strips from Aluminium to Urea 6 different Reflectoquant ® plus test kits from Chlorine to Phosphate The Reflectoquant ® System

RQ in AgriculturePage 9 The Reflectoquant ® test strips The Reflectoquant ® test strips are chemical microchips on a few mm 2 The reaction zones are impregated with traces of all necessary chemicals, e.g. dyes, buffers, reducing agents, etc. The Reflectoquant ® System

RQ in AgriculturePage 10 The main features of test strips and test kits The Reflectoquant ® test strips are very easy to use: dip - wait - measure. They detect analyte concentrations down to mg/l. The Reflectoquant ® plus test kits provide high sensitivity down to µg/l, but are less convenient than a strip. The Reflectoquant ® System

RQ in AgriculturePage 11 The barcode contains information about the parameter lot-specific calibration data factors for wavelength control The Reflectoquant ® System

RQ in AgriculturePage 12 Proven accuracy The Reflectoquant technology uses a 10 point calibration More than 750 measurement data are used to produce the calibration data on the barcode. The Reflectoquant ® System

RQ in AgriculturePage 13 Quality assurance test record The Reflectoquant ® System

RQ in AgriculturePage 14 Application in Agriculture and Horticulture Determination of nutrients in soil Determination of nutrients in plant sap Analysis of hydroponic solutions Analysis of fertilizer The Reflectoquant ® System
