Best Method for Monitoring Fruit Ripening

Photoacoustic sensors from smartGAS measure the concentration of the ripening gas ethylene in the ambient air in ripening warehouses with high precision. This enables compliance with stringent quality requirements for fresh produce.

A basic prerequisite for the precise monitoring of the ripening process is high-precision measurement of the C2H4 (ethylene) concentration.  smartGAS has long offered reliable and durable NDIR gas sensors for measuring numerous gases, including the plant hormone ethylene.  For more precise measurement of ethylene, the PAS sensor (photoacoustic spectroscopy) has been developed.  The PAS sensors enable high-precision measurements at very low concentrations. The new PAS sensors measure ethylene concentrations in a range from 5 to 1,000 ppm with a precision tolerance of 1 percent of the measured value ±1.5 ppm.

EOC offers smartGAS’s full range of NDIR and PAS sensor products for your gas monitoring needs:
