Handheld Headspace Oxygen Analyser – HandO2 & FoodO2
When Do You Need a Portable O₂ Analyzer for Modified Atmosphere Packaging?
MAP & Portable Headspace Oxygen Analyser for Pharma and Food & Beverage Packaging
A portable O₂ analyser is needed when fast, on-site verification of oxygen levels in modified atmosphere packaging is required. The HandO2 is a portable optical oxygen analyser designed for quick and reliable headspace O₂ measurements in MAP packages (blister packs, vials, pouches, and other sealed packages). It enables users to perform measurements directly at the production line, in quality control laboratories, or wherever testing is required.
Applications
- Pharmaceutical: O2 concentration in blisters, vials, tubes, patches, sealed bags, etc.
- Food & Beverage: O2 concentration in coffee, meat, dairy products, all MAP packaging.
- Science: Biotechnology, Micro-respirometry, marine research, R&D.
Advantages
- Measurements in gas or liquid phase;
- No sample extraction;
- High accuracy;
- No O2 consumption during measurements;
- Salinity factor input for different salinity samples in vials;
- IQ & OQ documentation;
