ANKOM RF2000 Gas Production System

Part #

RF2000

The ANKOM RF2000 Gas Production System provides an easy-to-use method for monitoring and measuring gas production.

Samples and microbes (or other fermentation sources) are placed in the bottles; the RF Module is attached to the bottle and then placed in an incubator. The pressure of each bottle can be measured at user-selected time intervals. Pressure measurements are recorded on a standard Excel spreadsheet and gas production curves are generated. 

  • Easily measure kinetics of microbial metabolism
  • Modules can be easily paired and reassigned to any coordinator by the end user
  • Modular and expandable up to 75 Modules (RF1a) per system
  • High-sensitivity pressure measurement
  • Remotely control pressure release and monitor performance
  • Real-time data interface with Excel for graphing
  • Gas sampling  or liquid sampling capability available 
  • Easy USB charging 
  • Pressure can be output in psi or kPa

Multiple Applications:

  • Ruminant Nutrition
  • Non-ruminant Animal Nutrition
  • Human Digestion
  • Yeast Vitality/Activity
  • Dough Rising Power
  • Biomass to Energy
  • Biodegradability
  • Soil Quality, and more.  

The ANKOM RFS Gas Production System (part #: RFS) has been discontinued and replaced with the ANKOM RF2000 Gas Production System. The RF2000 provides the same powerful testing ability with improved performance and simplified maintenance.
