HortoScan
Fruit & Vegetable QualityQuality you can prove, not just claim.
From €6/parameterHortoScan measures the quality of harvested fruit and vegetables. Each parameter — firmness, sugar (Brix), pH and nitrates — is priced individually from €6, so you order only what you need and get a single consolidated report, typically in about one working day. A volume break applies above 10 samples.
It is built for producers, packhouses and co-operatives running a continuous quality programme — tracking harvest timing, meeting certification and export standards, and backing buyer negotiations with data rather than a one-off test.
From six euros per parameter, HortoScan is designed for regular monitoring. Not a one-off test, but a continuous quality programme that pays for itself through stronger pricing and reduced waste.
Four Metrics That Define Quality
Texture and structural integrity — harvest-timing indicator
Sugar content — the measure of sweetness and maturity
Acidity level — impacts flavour, shelf life and processing
Nitrogen residues — food safety and regulatory compliance
Per Parameter, Per Sample
Each parameter is priced individually. You can order one or all four. The volume break kicks in above 10 samples in the same submission, on every parameter.
- Firmness — €6 / sample · €4 above 10
- Sugar (Brix) — €6 / sample · €4 above 10
- pH — €10 / sample · €8 above 10
- Nitrates — €10 / sample · €8 above 10
- Per-parameter quality results with reference ranges
- Single consolidated report when multiple parameters are ordered
- Volume break above 10 samples on every parameter
- Fast turnaround designed for ongoing quality programmes

Frequently Asked Questions
Which parameters can you measure?
Firmness, sugar content (Brix), pH and nitrates. You can order any combination — each parameter is priced individually.
How much does it cost?
Firmness and Brix are €6 per parameter (€4 above 10 samples). pH and nitrates are €10 per parameter (€8 above 10 samples). A four-parameter panel on 10+ samples therefore costs €24 per sample.
How fast do you turn it around?
About 1 working day for the standard panel — HortoScan is built for regular monitoring, not one-off testing.
