Introduction

Congratulations on the purchase of your new

F-950 Three Gas Analyzer.

The F-950 Three Gas Analyzer measures

three 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, CO2and O2in 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 the date, time, relative

humidity, temperature, and 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 O2concentrations. 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.
