Plant and Food Science tools for everybody
“All of our instruments have a wide range of applications,” says Scientist and Sales Director Andrea Melnychenko. “They’re lightweight, handheld workhorses designed for users to capture functional data in any context. What this means is that our tools are a great fit for everyone from farmers and breeders, to academic researchers and QA lab managers.”
CID Bio-Science has been around since the late 1980s when it designed the first of its portable photosynthesis analyzers—what is now the CI-340 Handheld Photosynthesis System. Since then, this Pacific Northwest company has gone on to engineer, manufacture, and sell tools ranging from leaf area meters and leaf spectrometers, to canopy and root imagers. In 2012, they added a new brand—Felix Instruments – Applied Food Science—focused on food science tools (handheld gas analyzers, and a portable NIR analyzer which measures Brix, Dry Matter, and other quality factors in produce).
You can see CID Bio-Science and Felix Instruments’ full line of plant and food science tools at the VIII International Postharvest Symposium in Cartagena, Spain, from June 21-24.
