Felix Instruments is set to transform grape quality management with the release of the F-751 Grape Quality Meter, launching on February 18. This cutting-edge device provides non-destructive, instantaneous measurements of key grape quality indicators, helping growers, distributors, and researchers make informed decisions more precisely.
A Smarter Way to Measure Grape Quality
Traditional grape testing methods often require destructive sampling, leading to wasted fruit and time-consuming lab analysis. The F-751 Grape Quality Meter eliminates these challenges by using near-infrared (NIR) technology to assess Brix, pH, and titratable acidity—all without damaging the fruit.
“For an industry where quality and timing are critical, this tool offers a significant advantage,” says Galen George, Director of Applied Science at Felix Instruments.
