Applications

Where Hone measures today

Grain, soil carbon and liquids in production. One platform behind them, and an engineering team ready to point it at your application.

Grain testing

Moisture, protein, and oil at the point of receival. The Hone Lab Red brings laboratory-grade NIR analysis to the silo, the header and the truck, with results in seconds.

Research instrument

Hone Lab Black

A 1064 nm Raman spectrometer for liquids: water, oils, wine and beer. Where the Lab Red is built for the paddock, the Lab Black is a transportable research tool for the bench: standard cuvettes, a desktop application, and the same calibration platform behind it.

Technique 1064 nm Raman
Spectral range 400–2500 cm⁻¹
Resolution 13 cm⁻¹ (avg FWHM)
Detector InGaAs, 2-stage TE cooled
Laser 450 mW · Class 1, interlocked
Samples Water · Oils · Wine · Beer
Sample holder Standard cuvettes
Control Desktop application
