FS-3080A Fruit and Vegetable Respiration Analyzer
Product Introduction
The FS-3080A Fruit and Vegetable Respiration Analyzer is designed for measuring and analyzing the respiration intensity of fruits and vegetables under different storage conditions, including room temperature, cold storage, controlled-atmosphere storage, and supermarket refrigerated display cases.
The instrument simultaneously measures CO₂ concentration, O₂ concentration, temperature, and humidity inside the respiration chamber. Different chamber volumes can be selected according to fruit or vegetable size, helping accelerate gas equilibrium and shorten measurement time.
With automatic calculation, large-capacity data storage, USB data export, and adjustable gas flow, the FS-3080A provides a fast and convenient solution for postharvest respiration testing, food research, horticultural research, and fruit and vegetable storage studies.
