SimpleScan

SimpleScan is a turn-key concentration measurement scanner (i.e., sniffer) used for sampling methane, carbon dioxide gas, and optionally hydrogen, and oxygen concentrations near an animal’s nose. SimpleScan is a tool to easily evaluate eructation responses, concentration changes, and gas concentration ratios. It is easier to install than a GreenFeed and less expensive.

Product Overview

All of the SimpleScan data is collected and automatically sent to a cloud-based server using either WiFi or the Internet, where the user can log into an Internet-based user interface to review data in near real-time. Data is automatically processed to determine background concentrations, increase in concentrations, number of erucations, peak height, peak area, and concentration ratios.

The system can also be equipped with an optional RFID reader so that the SimpleScan software can automatically assign gathered data to unique animals. It can also be equipped with an optional head position sensor to determine head movement behavior.

PLEASE NOTE: Because SimpleScan is a concentration-only measurement system, gasses can be subject to significant and unknown dilution. This can produce results that are biased, variable, and uncertain in many applications. Therefore, the SimpleScan data has significant limitations, which are discussed more in this blog post.
