F-900
Portable Ethylene Analyzer
The F-900 Portable Ethylene Analyzer non-destructively measures ethylene in real time, providing Quality Assurance professionals with the data they need to manage ethylene accurately and efficiently. Using two electrochemical sensors, the F-900 measures ethylene from 0-200 ppm with a lower detection limit of 0.025 parts-per-million (ppm). The patent pending “PolarCept” filter removes polar hydrocarbons from the gas stream to ensure that measurements are not polluted by interfering gases such as ethanol.
