The new F-950 Three Gas Analyzer measures three critical gases:
ethylene, CO2 and O2, to maintain optimum produce quality at every
phase:
- Inspect storage and packing environments
- Verify ethylene mitigation efficacy
- Optimize ripening storage atmosphere conditions
- MAP quality assurance for ethylene-sensitive products

Fast, Accurate & Cost-efficient Analysis
Ethylene affects ripening, aging, and spoilage in produce. The F-950
measures levels of ethylene, CO 2 and O 2 in the atmosphere, and can
be scaled to many environments, from greenhouse 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, and GPS location. The F-950 is ideal for measuring ethylene production across a wide range of fruit types and is especially suitable for managing ethylene emissions from perishable cut produce products.
Modified Atmosphere Packaging Applications
Most MAP gas analyzers are equipped to only measure CO 2 and/or O 2 concentrations. Quality assurance for perishable cut produce demands a more comprehensive analysis. By measuring Ethylene, CO2 & O2 , the F-950 makes it possible to respond to the change in ripening gases to ensure longer shelf-life and higher quality commodities.
