Two pork loins. Similar color. Different marbling. One leads to a juicy, flavorful eating experience—while the other may disappoint. While subjective, visual assessment can miss the mark, BioQScan® Core empowers meat processors to objectively identify high-quality pork using real-time, non-invasive estimates of intramuscular fat (IMF). This allows processors to identify premium product at the speed of the production line.

Developed for small and mid-sized meat processors, BioQScan® Core provides real-time estimates of intramuscular fat (IMF), backfat thickness, and loin depth from hot carcasses at commercial line speeds. This technology supports data-driven sorting decisions and improve consistency of pork quality without slowing production.

Biotronics, Inc. is a global leader in carcass composition and pork quality assessment using ultrasound technologies.
