We are excited to announce the release of our first ScanCorder Application Note, kicking off a new series from Compolytics.

This note demonstrates how spectral vegetation indices (VIs) measured with the ScanCorder GP-VNIR can detect smoke contamination in grapes — an increasingly relevant issue for vineyards facing bushfire risks.
Using reflectance data from Shiraz grape bunches, the study identified 12 key VIs that significantly differ between smoked and control samples. The results confirm that the ScanCorder technology enables fast, non-destructive assessment of smoke taint — without complex analytics.

A big thank you to our application partners from The University of Adelaide, particularly the group of Prof Kerry Wilkinson.
This is the first in a loose succession of practical notes showcasing real-world use cases of the ScanCorder technology.
