Felix Instruments - Modern Technology for Controlling & Measuring Produce Quality.
Growers, packers, and handlers use Felix Instruments to manage produce quality and extend shelf life.
Unlike subjective techniques, Felix Instruments measurement tools provide objective, repeatable data on gas concentrations, sugar content, water content, acidity and any number of key quality measures of fresh produce.
-
Handheld Ethylene, CO2, O2 Analysis
Felix Instruments' range of handheld gas analysers are portable solutions useful for validating ethylene mitigation systems, managing ripening and degreening programs, and monitoring storage to reduce spoilage
-
ETH-1010N Ethylene Atmosphere Sampling Instrument
The ETH-1010N analyser provides accurate real-time measurement of ethylene gas concentrations, in a compact instrument suitable for field and laboratory use.
-
F-900 Ethylene Analyser
The F-900 Portable Ethylene Analyser non-destructively measures ethylene in real time, providing Quality Assurance professionals with the data they need to manage ethylene accurately and efficiently.
-
F-940 Store It! Gas Analyser
-
F-950 Three Gas Analyser
-
F-960 Ripen It! Gas Analyser
The F-960 Ripen It! Gas Analyser rapidly measures ethylene, CO2, and O2 to assist with decision making throughout the produce ripening process.
-
Portable NIR Analysis
The quality of fruit and produce cannot be judged by appearance alone. Since it is not practical to determine fruit quality merely by tasting each individual piece, an objective, non-destructive measurement is needed to determine the internal quality of the fruit hidden beneath the peel or skin. Near Infrared (NIR) Spectroscopy is a trusted industry method used to do just that!
Felix Instruments provide portable technology soley for the purpose of non-destructively measuring quality indicators such as dry matter, brix (total soluble solids), acid, and color.
-
F-750 Produce Quality Meter
Used to measure Dry Matter, Brix (Total Soluble Solids), and assess fruit maturity and skin color. It delivers the stability, repeatability, and precision that is necessary for successful chemometric-based measurements in a portable easy-to-use package.
-
F-751 Avocado Quality Meter
The F-751 Avocado Quality Meter nondestructively and rapidly analyses internal traits of fresh avocado through near infrared analysis (NIR). Sending particles of light into the fruit, the F-751 then measures the light interactance with molecules to assess the quantity of key quality traits.
-
Headspace & MAP Analysis
The inside (volume) of packaging that is not occupied by the product itself is referred to as headspace. The atmosphere within this space is referred to as the headspace gas, and is analysed by measuring the volume and proportion of these residual gases (O2, CO2, N2, etc.) within packages.
This analysis is critical to maintaining quality control and determining shelf life of food products that have been packaged using the modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) technique.
Felix Instruments' handheld headspace & MAP analyser provides QA professionals with fast and portable measurements at all stages of the supply chain! -
