DES MOINES, Iowa, Aug. 2, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Eurofins QTA Inc. (US) and Q-Interline A/S (Denmark) are excited to announce a signed collaboration for the North American market. This process will take effect immediately and seeks to strengthen the market offering of both Eurofins QTA and Q-Interline.

Eurofins QTA will provide installation, application support, calibration development and maintenance services for this new technology. North American customers using Q-Interline's FT-IR and FT-NIR instruments, with their patented QTA technology, will experience a more robust and superior performance from NIR analysis.

"We are expecting a lot from entering into this collaboration with Eurofins QTA, since it will give our customers access to highly skilled local support. Eurofins QTA has extensive experience in the field of servicing customers and securing analytical results of very high quality. We are very pleased that Eurofins QTA will be offering our FT-IR and FT-NIR platform for their QTA concept," said Per Sand, Sales Manager of Q-Interline.

With the completion of the Quant driver and its connectivity technology, Q-Interline's Quant FT-IR and FT-NIR analytical solutions can be offered for the Quality Trait Analysis Concept (QTA Concept) of Eurofins. Under the QTA Concept, customers have access to high quality analytical results, without the difficulty of maintaining calibrations.

"The successful implementation of NIR analysis is dependent upon the integration of high quality instruments and the expertise to create, monitor and optimize operational algorithms for those instruments in day-to-day operations. As the leading players in each of these two areas, the collaboration of Q-interline and QTA bridges the gap between these two areas that, too often, exists for the end user of infrared analysis. Additionally, the reliable wet chemistry data from Eurofins laboratories insures the accurate and precise date that is fundamental to the robust NIR methods that are the mainstay of QTA's business model, " said Dr. Ching-Hui Tseng, Founder and Chief Technical Officer of Eurofins QTA.
