F-751 Melon Quality Meter
The F-751 Melon Quality Meter provides rapid, non-destructive measurement of melon quality, enabling modern maturity assessment in seconds. Quickly and accurately evaluate melon ripeness without damaging the fruit.
Post-Harvest Quality Assurance
Inspect incoming lots and monitor melon quality parameters in cold storage, ripening rooms, and distribution centers.
Crop Management and Harvest Timing
Accurately measure °Brix-the melon’s primary quality and maturity attribute in seconds to support data-driven harvest planning.
Crop Breeding and Research
Rapidly collect internal melon quality data for high-throughput phenotyping, breeding, and analytical research.
