Felix Instruments F-960 Ripen It! Gas Analyser

Food Science Instruments

The F-960 Ripen It! Gas Analyser quickly and accurately measures ethylene, CO2, and O2 to assist with decision making throughout the produce ripening process. All three sensors work together to give you a clear picture of gas concentrations in ripening rooms. 

The Ripen It! is a handheld unit that can easily be transported into ripening rooms or connected to rooms through external ports. Data is conveniently transferred from the device to a network using Bluetooth or the removable SD card.

  • Measures C2H4, CO2 and O2
  • Displays results in under 30 seconds
  • Past records stored on the device
  • Handheld and lightweight
  • Internal data logging and storage (16 GB SD card)
  • Battery lasts for 8+ hours
  • Display easily viewed in dimly lit environments
