Felix Instruments Gas Analyzer wins the “Golden Gas Award”
Each year a company is recognized for their excellence in designing an instrument that aids in the detection and analysis of gases. The F-900 Ethylene Gas Analyzer will be featured in the March/April issue of Gases and Instrumentation Magazine.
The new F-900 Portable Ethylene Gas Analyzer from Felix Instruments - Applied Food Science is the first truly portable solution for monitoring and testing ethylene gas both in the field and in the lab. The F-900 is a real-time trace gas monitor that measures C2H4 with parts-per-billion (ppb) sensitivity. The F-900 achieves accurate readings of ethylene as low as 10 ppb in air using electrochemical sensor technology, and employs proprietary PolarCeptT filtering technology (patent pending) to mitigate interfering gases. Additional optional sensors measure CO2 (ppm) and concentrations of O2 .
The F-900 is a multi-purpose tool with optional sensor arrays that adapt the instrument for analyzing dynamic processes in field research, post-harvest research, and environmental monitoring. Fresh fruit growers and packers apply the device for facility inspection, warehouse monitoring, and ripening rooms. Plant physiologists find its high sensitivity and portability make the F-900 ideal for in vivo studies of fruit in the field, greenhouse, or laboratory, and adding optional CO2 sensors enables simultaneous measurement of carbon flux down to 0.1 ppm resolution. The optional O2 sensor and analog data output allow the device to operate as a controller for a small-scale controlled atmosphere installations, ripening rooms, or cold storage facilities. Low-maintenance and designed for non-specialists, the F-900 Ethylene Gas Analyzer's user-friendly interface is easy for workers at all skill levels to use, making it possible to precisely manage ethylene at every stage of produce production, from stem to sale.
The F-900 is manufactured by Felix Instruments-Applied Food Science, a newly formed subsidiary of CID Bio-Science, Inc., which has been providing research scientists with plant science tools since 1989.
