New multigas analyzer for postharvest atmosphere control

The Dutch company STOREX is launching an advanced, portable, and modular system capable of simultaneously monitoring up to five different gases, including oxygen, carbon dioxide, and trace amounts of ethylene.

Innovation in cold storage monitoring

Atmosphere control in fruit and vegetable storage facilities takes a step forward with the launch of the new multi-gas analyzer (MGA) developed by Storex. This portable device has been specifically designed to meet the high precision requirements for managing controlled atmospheres (CA) and for use in post-harvest research centers.

Technical versatility and high-precision sensors

One of the MGA’s key strengths lies in its modular architecture and operational versatility:

• Dual functionality: It can operate as a stand-alone device or be seamlessly integrated into Storex’s centralized management systems (CMS), enabling not only real-time measurement but also the automation and control of controlled-atmosphere equipment.
  
  
• Specialized sensors: For horticultural and storage applications, the unit comes equipped as standard with specific O2 and CO2 sensors. It also offers options for high-sensitivity ethylene sensors, available in ranges of 0–20 ppm (with an exceptional precision of 0.1 to 0.3 ppm) and 0–100 ppm.
  
  
• Industrial adaptability: Thanks to its advanced electronics, the device supports the integration of other types of sensors designed to detect various industrial or process gases, such as ammonia.

With this launch, Storex reinforces its technological commitment to optimizing cold-storage conditions, providing the sector with a highly precise diagnostic and control tool designed to minimize post-harvest losses and maximize the shelf life of perishable products.
