The CI-900FK, C2H4 gas analyzer provides accurate, real-time measurement of ethylene gas concentrations, in a compact package suitable for field and laboratory use. At the core of the instrument, the CI-900 uses an electrochemical sensor technology that offers extraordinary sensitivity to ethylene, with accurate readings as low as 10 ppbv in air.
Ethylene, a plant hormone produced in response to stress, ripening or maturity has been a useful agricultural diagnostic indicator for many decades. Traditionally, trace ethylene gas measurements were available only to those users, primarily laboratory researchers, who had access to gas chromatography or similar technologies. The CI-900 has been designed for in vivo studies conducted by field and laboratory researchers as well as post harvest cold storage facility operators who require trace C2H4 gas detection capability.
