Product Overview
The HM-T4 Research-Grade Soil and Fertilizer Nutrient Analyzer (commercial model HM-CT) represents the flagship instrument in HM Instruments' desktop spectroscopy series. Engineered for agricultural universities, research academies, environmental monitoring authorities, and premier agricultural enterprises demanding high analytical precision, the HM-T4 integrates soil fertility, fertilizer chemistry, crop physiological nutrition, environmental heavy metal pollution screening, and produce food safety testing into a unified platform.
Powered by an ARM Cortex-A7 RK3288 processor (1.88 GHz) and Android OS, the HM-T4 features 12 colorimetric channels, 4-wavelength cold light sources, and patented filter technology (Patent ZL 2020 2 1763837.9). The instrument achieves an optical repeatability error of ≤0.02% and stability sixfold superior to national standard JJG179-90. Beyond complete macro- and micronutrients, the HM-T4 performs quantitative screening for 10 heavy metals in soils and fertilizers (Pb, As, Cd, Cr, Hg, Ni, Al, F, Ti, Se) and monitors food safety parameters (nitrates, nitrites, heavy metals) in fruits and vegetables.
Key Features

- 12 independent high-precision optical channels enable simultaneous multi-sample batch testing for research workflows.
- Optical repeatability error of ≤0.02% (potassium dichromate solution) and 1-hour zero-drift stability deliver scientific data integrity.
- Certified with an authoritative Calibration Certificate from the National Institute of Metrology, ensuring legal compliance.
- Heavy metal screening detects lead (Pb), arsenic (As), cadmium (Cd), chromium (Cr), and mercury (Hg) in soils, fertilizers, and produce.
- Solid-state 4-wavelength cold light source system (680nm, 420nm, 510nm, 590nm) provides 100,000 hours of drift-free illumination.
- 7-inch true-color Android touchscreen with multi-level user permissions and real-time operational video guidance.
- Agronomic software incorporates an expert fertilization formula calculator, plant deficiency atlas, and GPS coordinate tagging.
- Integrated thermal printer prints comprehensive laboratory reports complete with testing metrics and verification QR codes.
- Multi-mode telemetry (WiFi, 4G, GPRS, USB, RJ-45) facilitates automated data export to smart cloud platforms and LIMS.
- IP65 physical protection, dual AC/DC power supply, high-capacity lithium battery (>10h), and 12V vehicle charging compatibility.
