Classic composition tests consume the material being tested, fine for a small swatch, wasteful when you need to screen many samples or preserve the item.
Sending a sample out for certified composition testing means waiting on a lab queue, too slow when you need a quick go/no-go decision.
Lab fees are typically charged per sample, so testing everything that comes through QC, including the obvious cases, adds unnecessary cost.
When QC needs to check dozens or hundreds of items, there's no fast first-pass filter to separate "clearly fine" from "needs a closer look."
FabriTell reads composition with near-infrared light, the sample is untouched and can still be tested further or kept intact afterward.
Get a composition reading immediately, on the spot, without waiting for a lab slot.
Use FabriTell to screen every sample first, and reserve costly certified lab analysis for the genuinely borderline or high-stakes cases.
Every scan is timestamped in Matoha Cloud, giving you a documented first-pass result alongside any subsequent certified lab report.
| Factor | Full lab testing on every sample | FabriTell pre-screen + lab for exceptions |
|---|---|---|
| Time to a first result | Days (lab turnaround) | < 1 second |
| Sample condition after testing | Often destroyed (burn/chemical methods) | Untouched, non-destructive NIR scan |
| Volume of items quickly screenable | Limited by lab capacity | Limited only by scanning time (< 1 sec/item) |
| Lab fees | Charged per sample, every sample | Reserved only for borderline/flagged cases |
| Composition detail from FabriTell | — | To 1% increments, ±10% typical accuracy |
Identification speed (<1 second) and blend accuracy (±10% typical) are from FabriTell's published device specification. FabriTell is a screening tool, not a certified laboratory accreditation replacement, for regulatory or contractual certification, confirm requirements with your accreditation body.
Portable enough to move between QC stations, receiving docks, or out into the field. Free app shows results instantly, no separate software needed.
