CE-Line is a laboratory-quality nutrient analysis system that automatically samples water throughout the day. This in-line testing solution provides accurate data within an hour, eliminating the wait for test results from a remote laboratory. Sample results are securely stored in the cloud, with APIs available to connect to climate control and fertigation systems. This connectivity allows for automated optimization of nutrient levels in real-time.

The CE-Line system schedules testing of different sources throughout the day, measuring both macro and micronutrients. NH4, K, Na, Mg, Ca, Cl, NO3, SO4, HCO3, PO4, Fe, B, Zn, Mn, Mo, Cu can all be tested. CE-Line has automated the laboratory process of capillary electrophoresis to accurately measure these different nutrients. Each unit can take up to eight different samples per day, from multiple sources, using a supply of reagents and cleaning solutions.
