K. MA, QTA Division, Cognis Corp. USA, 4900 Este Ave., Cincinnati, OH 45232 Infrared (IR) technology has been used as an effective tool in place of tedious wet chemical QC methods where time and accuracy are critical. However, many IR users experience unexpected results. It is difficult to make calibrations reliable; to ensure that the results from individual and multiple instruments are accurate from day-to-day. Manufacturers have spent years and made large investments to overcome these obstacles, but regular model maintenance is still required to overcome instrumental drift. As a breakthrough with Chingometrics in the instrument application, the QTA system is the only system in the market today that has mastered the solutions and eliminated these problems completely. With QTA technology, multiple analyses can be performed on a single instrument without any additional work by the end user. This system produces reliable, rapid, accurate analyses of various traits on raw materials and end products in the food industry. The QTA system is designed to be user-friendly. QTA does not require significant site-to-site or instrument-to-instrument adjustments. It features a touch-screen interface, with pre-loaded selections that safeguard against incorrect operation. It is also transportable. The QTA plan offers the technology to the user without a capital investment and is owned and administered by Cognis. QTA has a powerful information storage capability that can be used to generate various types of reports and statistical information. This information can be securely retrieved across the entire organization from anywhere at anytime.
