New, highly selective Ethylene (C2H4) sensor
MEMBRAPOR have launched a new, highly selective Ethylene (C2H4) sensor. This improved Ethylene sensor reduces the effect of background gases such as carbon monoxide (CO) and alcohols which is, as an example, vital in fruit ripening processes. Both gases together result in false C2H4 readings and would require additional sensor units to correct it. The diagram shows the improved selectivity of the ...
