Decaying food emits gases such as Ethylene. Philips published research in 2016 demonstrating how Pyreos detectors can produce world-leading accuracies. These can be applied in fridges, shipping containers and other locations. These very fast detectors give better resolution and accuracy and fast or instant switch-on depending on system choice. The speed of our detectors also means that emitter cycles are shortened to save power and battery requirements. The detector is physically robust. Selected relevant products are shown below.

New – upgraded analogue quad range with 4x larger pixel area
Pyreos is now sampling our new quad range which carries 4 x 1mm2 pixels. This provides much higher SNR and the product is mechanically vastly simpler and more robust than competing products. Datasheet download. A new, more extensive list of food-specific filter combinations is available which is expanding continuously so is not included in the datasheet. If we do not list the you need then please contact us.
