Proteus® Now Quantify
Using Predictive AI to Decode Recyclate Composition
Proteus® Now Quantify is your smart companion for rapid, AI-powered composition analysis for polymers. After performing a DSC measurement on your NETZSCH instrument, simply upload the data to the cloud-based platform – and receive accurate, reproducible results within seconds. There's no need for manual interpretation or prior knowledge in data science. The integrated AI engine takes over the complex evaluation process, delivering consistent insights across a wide range of polymers and blends.
With Proteus® Now Quantify, even non-specialists can achieve expert-level results. The transparent, AI-driven workflow not only confirms material composition but also detects deviations early, reducing the risk of quality issues. Recyclate producers benefit from improved process control and product consistency, while buyers gain greater confidence in material quality, traceability, and fair pricing decisions.
Who is Quantify for?
Proteus® Now Quantify is ideal for anyone working with plastics – especially those in recycling, quality assurance, R&D, or material purchasing. Whether you're a lab technician, production manager, or sustainability lead, Quantify gives you the data clarity you need – fast, accurate, and AI-powered.
What's Behind the AI?
Proteus® Now Quantify combines classical machine learning (e.g., decision trees) with deep learning (neural networks) to accurately interpret even challenging material mixtures – including those with overlapping melting peaks. Every result includes an uncertainty score, similar to a standard deviation, providing a confidence measure for each prediction and helping identify unknown or borderline cases.

FAQs
Everything You Need to Know Before You Get Started
In its initial release, Quantify supports common thermoplastic packaging polymers, such as:
- Polypropylene (PP)
- High-DensityThe mass density is defined as the ratio between mass and volume. Density Polyethylene (HDPE)
- Low-DensityThe mass density is defined as the ratio between mass and volume. Density Polyethylene (LDPE)
- Linear Low-DensityThe mass density is defined as the ratio between mass and volume. Density Polyethylene (LLDPE)
More materials (e.g., more packaging materials, engineering plastics, amorphous thermoplastics) are under development and can be prioritized upon request.
? A detailed overview of all currently supported polymers as well as our development roadmap can be found on the page Supported Materials and Roadmap.
