Key Takeaways from the Webinar

Advanced Non-Destructive Technology
The F-751 Grape Quality Meter leverages Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy and AI-driven modeling to measure Brix, pH, and titratable acidity—delivering lab-accurate results in under 10 seconds without damaging fruit.

Comparing Traditional Testing Methods
Unlike time-consuming and destructive testing methods like refractometers and lab titration, the F-751 enables instant, in-field measurements with no additional costs per test, making data-driven decisions more accessible than ever.

Enhancing Harvest & Post-Harvest Decisions
With the ability to monitor quality trends over time, the F-751 helps determine the optimal harvest window, ensures consistency across vineyard blocks, and improves packhouse quality control. Its built-in GPS tagging integrates seamlessly with Felix Instruments’ FruitMaps™ software, offering advanced tracking for supply chain management.

Broad Applications & Industry Adoption
Designed for both table and wine grapes, the device supports a wide range of grape varieties. Industry professionals praised its portability, ease of use, and long-term reliability, with many eager to integrate it into their quality management processes.

Live Q&A Insights
Attendees engaged in a robust Q&A session, covering calibration, accuracy, sample requirements, and real-world applications. Key discussions included:

• The accuracy of the F-751, with validation studies confirming less than 1-degree Brix error and under 0.1 accuracy variation for pH and titratable acidity.
• The device’s adaptability for various growing conditions, with built-in temperature compensation ensuring consistency across environments.
• Ongoing development, including potential expansions for additional fruit applications.

Felix Instruments is committed to advancing fruit quality assessment through cutting-edge technology. Today’s launch of the F-751 Grape Quality Meter marks a major step forward for the grape industry, empowering professionals to increase efficiency, reduce waste, and maximize fruit value.
