Macedon, NY - February 2011 - As part of ANKOM Technology's commitment to continuous improvement the RF Gas Production Measurement System has been modified to include temperature monitoring and real-time graphing.  These improvements allow researchers to monitor the impact of temperature changes in any experiment.  By adding a temperature sensor into the RF1 module and upgrading the system software, temperature control can be monitored and tracked.  Real-time graphing gives immediate feedback to the user so that action can be taken as needed to correct for temperature fluctuations.  Likewise, a user can experiment with different ambient conditions to measure the effects of temperature changes on kinetics.

But the modification could go even further,  the system allows the user the option of extending the temperature sensor outside of the module, which opens the door for applications in a number of fields.

ANKOM's focus continues to be related to research in areas such as ruminant nutrition, yeast activity, biogas production and biodegradability, however we always want to keep our eyes opened for additional applications that provide value. Versatility is a wonderful attribute of the RF System. We look forward to seeing how our customers will use this incredible tool.
