Soil Plant General Analyzer

PHOTOMETER

SPECTRO

Many of soil testing laboratories these days face increasing demands from the farmers for rapid feedback of soil test result. Our company has been focused to provide the optimum equipment for simplified nutrient extraction and colorimetry method with preliminary installed calibration curves. SFP series 1̃3 was developped under SPAD project ※2 from 1981. Now we launch 4th generation, SFP-4i, which realized to increase target elements for soil, and it also optionally inlcudes new category - potting soil, in addition to conventional testing categories. Safety function is drastically improved, too. We believe that SFP-4i, which makes clear disinction from general laboratory equipment, will be intelligently, integrally, improvingly and internationally good help to the soil and plant laboratories.

SFP series is used in research laboratories, agricultural extension centers, city / town halls, universities, private enterprise,agricultural cooperatives, compost centers, etc. In latest years, it is exported to Asian countries, too.

※1 SFP stands for Spectro-Flame-Photometer. It is a combination of spectrophotometer and flame photometer.※2 SPAD R is an abbrebiation for Soil＆Plant Analyzer Development Project under Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in Japan.
