PaddyCheck 6800 (PC 6800)

Perten - a PerkinElmer Company
The PaddyCheck is a grain analyzer used to determine paddy rice quality in accordance with both localized and standard methods such as AACC International Method 61-10.01. It gives measures of grain dimensions (length, width, thickness), crack resistance and translucency, which are used for predicting head rice yield (HRY), the main determinant of market price. The rapid, easy to perform test on a small sample size, simplifies workflow and increases throughput, making the PaddyCheck a useful tool for determining paddy rice quality in time constrained environments and when sample size is limited.
