Headspace gas analyzer measures gas in MAP products
Felix Instruments – Applied Food Science has added the F-920 Check It! Gas Analyzer to its line of handheld gas analyzers. The Check It! is a CO2/O2 gas analyzer designed to enable all levels of quality control personnel to take headspace gas measurements, the company said.
Measuring the gas within a package, and making sure that the oxygen levels do not exceed specified limits, helps control the quality of packaged food products, Felix Instruments said.
The gas analyzer has a low sampling volume and a response time of six to nine seconds. The F-920 Check it! also features ong sensor lifetimes and data transfer via an included SD card or through Bluetooth connection to smart phone or computer.
Felix Instruments shipped the first of its new F-920 Check It! Gas Analyzers on May 16. Leonard Felix, president of Felix Instruments, is debuting this new MAP gas analyzer at Cal Poly’s FreshPACKMoves May 17-18 in Monterey, California.
