F-950 Three Gas Analyzer
The F-950 Three Gas Analyzer measures levels of ethylene, CO₂ and O₂ to maintain optimal produce quality at every phase of the supply chain. The F-950’s versatile design allows it to be scaled to many environments, from cold storage to transportation containers. Simple to operate and weighing less than a kilogram, the F-950 uses an electrochemical cell to measure ethylene between 0–200 ppm. The F-950 is ideal for measuring ethylene production across a wide range of fruit types.
Key Applications:
- Verification of ethylene mitigation systems for increasing commodity shelf life and storage longevity.
- Monitoring controlled atmosphere facilities to ensure the proper balance of gasses throughout operations.
- Modified Atmosphere Packaging QA in packing lines, laboratories, import/export surveys, distribution centers, and retail centers.
