Labpod CA System
The LabPod is for testing the response of fruit or vegetables to Controlled Atmospheres down to less than 0.1% Oxygen and for measuring their respiration and respiratory quotient.
It is ideal for Post-Harvest Laboratories working with controlled atmospheres and respiration rates within a controlled temperature environment.
Each pod is self-contained with built-in Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide and temperature sensors with digital communications to a central operating panel. Built-in control valves and gauges regulate the connected Nitrogen,
Air and optional CO2 supply to very accurately maintain the selected atmosphere.
Respiration and RQ are periodically and automatically measured using the built-in high-sensitivity analysers.
The atmosphere control is paused and the changes in Oxygen and CO2 caused by the product respiration are measured and used to calculate and display the respiration rate.
