Introduction

Felix Instruments’ F-750 Handheld Produce Quality

Meter is a fast and portable tool for non-

destructively measuring fruit quality. The F-750

combines near-infrared spectroscopy and

chemometric analysis to estimate quality metrics

including dry matter, total soluble solids (TSS or

brix), titratable acidity, and other metrics in fruit.

With the F-750, agricultural suppliers can instantly

assess fruit maturity throughout the growing

process to determine ideal readiness for harvest,

sale, and consumption.

Overview

· The F-750 is a fully programmable handheld

NIR spectrometer. Common uses of the F-750

include predictions for total soluble solids, dry

matter, and titratable or total acidity, though

calibrations can be built for many others.

· The F-750 contains a 48 channel GPS, which

enables orchard-wide mapping of fruit

parameters over the season.

· One can create unlimited customizable

models for analyzing specific cultivars or

locations.
