Quality Control and Breeding of White Rice
Rice is one of the most important crops and a primary source of food, feeding more than half of the world’s population. Despite its importance in our daily lives, quality inspection of rice is still done manually, which is prone to errors and inconsistencies. It is also very time-consuming. QualySense is introducing the QSorter® Explorer, which allows for a fully automated, fast, and high-quality inspection.

Remove Subjectivity
With its unique sorting and analysis capabilities, the QSorter® Explorer can accelerate and standardize your quality inspection process, optimize your workforce, and reduce errors. Rice processors and traders will be able to save time and resources, while increasing confidence in their own quality control processes, and accelerating payments to farmers.
No Sample Preparation
With the QSorter® Explorer, no sample preparation is needed. You can simply feed your sample into the instrument and run the device. It can measure and analyze the quality and physical properties of rice, including the percentage of broken grains, chalkiness, geometry, and color, of every single kernel in your sample. In addition, you can also measure biochemical properties such as protein and moisture. It is 10 times faster than manual inspection while being consistent and providing extensive data.
Measure Multiple Properties
By measuring multiple properties at once, the QSorter® Explorer also offers a new effective, and accurate way of detecting rice authenticity to prevent losses from blending or contrasting varieties. In addition, the QSorter® is a powerful breeding and high-throughput phenotyping tool for researchers due to its capability of capturing data of every single kernel separately.
