The legal limits probably don't specify rejection criteria on a per-grain basis - they probably say something like "No more than x.x% trace of fungus Y in a given batch", so being able to calibrate on the fly is pretty import

These Alix boards are my normal go-to for exactly this sort of stuff. Note I say Alix, but they have a few different platforms with a few key differences. You can also get small enclosures, Wifi cards and antennas, etc. http://ww
