Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new F-950 Three Gas Analyzer!
The new F-950 Three Gas Analyzer measures 3 critical gases: ethylene (C₂H₄), carbon dioxide (CO₂) and oxygen (O₂), to maintain optimum produce quality at every phase.
The F-950 is used to:
- Inspect storage and packing environments
- Verify ethylene mitigation efficacy
- Optimize ripening storage atmosphere conditions
- Quality assure MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) for ethylene-sensitive products
Ethylene affects ripening, aging, and spoilage in produce. The F-950 measures levels of ethylene, CO₂ and O₂ in the atmosphere, and can be scaled to many environments, from cold storage to warehouse to transportation container.
Simple to operate and weighing less than a kilogram, the F-950 uses an electrochemical cell to measure ethylene between 0-200 ppm in air. It records date, time, relative humidity, temperature, and coming soon GPS location. The F-950 is ideal for measuring ethylene production across a wide range of fruit or floral types and is especially suitable for managing ethylene emissions from perishable cut produce products.
The F-950 is ideal for Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) applications. Most MAP gas analyzers are only equipped to measure CO₂ and/or O₂ concentrations. Quality assurance for perishable cut produce demands a more comprehensive analysis. The F-950 makes it possible to respond to the change in ripening gases to ensure longer shelf-life and higher quality commodities.
We hope you enjoy using your F-950 Three Gas Analyzer.
