INSTANT, IN-FIELD EAR CORN MOISTURE ANALYSIS

SCiO is a material sensing platform that provides lab quality analysis in the field. It enables farmers, seed corn production managers, researchers, agronomists and others to make timely decisions and improve efficiencies, with an innovative NIR spectroscopy platform that is cloud connected, portable, easy to use, and affordable.

Includes a dedicated adaptor that protects against direct sun light-illumination and a neck carrying lanyard with safe quick-release mechanism. Included with the purchase of the Scio, you will also get the first year software license of the annual subscription. Includes free calibrations throughout the year. Up to 3 users per device. GPS location services, storage, reporting and data available from app dashboard.
