Felix Instruments F-940 Store It! Gas Analyzer

Food Science Instruments

The F-940 Store It! Gas Analyser provides rapid and precise measurements of ethylene, CO2 and O2. The Store It! was designed for Quality Assurance staff to increase shelf-life and prevent spoilage by monitoring ripening gases throughout the storage process. 

The Store It! features an intuitive user interface, making it simple to operate right out of the box. Its lightweight, handheld design enables users to rely on the Store It! at all stages of storage along the supply chain. A built-in data logger stores thousands of data points and conveniently communicates data through USB or Bluetooth onto a PC or tablet for later analysis.

The Felix Instruments F-940 Gas Analyzer is a versatile tool with a range of applications, particularly in the food and agricultural industries. Here are some of its key uses:

  • Controlled Atmosphere Storage Facility Management: Monitors gas levels (O₂, CO₂, ethylene) to optimise storage conditions for perishable goods.
  • Ethylene Mitigation Verification: Ensures ethylene removal processes are working effectively, reducing spoilage and extending shelf life.
  • Packing House Inspection: Provides real-time analysis of gas environments to maintain quality standards during packing and storage.
  • Precision Citrus Degreening: Facilitates accurate ethylene measurement in ripening rooms for optimal colour development in citrus fruits.
  • Storage Assignment in Distribution Centres: Assists in assigning appropriate storage zones based on gas concentration data to maintain produce freshness.
  • Packaging Quality Assurance: Ensures modified atmosphere packaging retains the correct gas composition to prevent deterioration during distribution and sale.
