AgroCares sensor technology has been calibrated at the Golden Standard Laboratory (GSL), hence the results predicted with the Scanner and the Liab (Lab-in-a-box) are based on the methods used at GSL. Below you can find a summary of the parameters that can be reported by the Scanner and the respective method and norm followed at GSL. For a more detailed explanation (also including Liab parameters), please contact support@agrocares.com or your account manager.
