Modified Atmosphere Analyser (Portable) - MAPtest 800
- Rapid response time
- Low maintenance and calibration requirements
- Timed pumped sample
- Up to thirty hours running time between battery charges
- MAP/CAP (modified and controlled atmosphere packaging) techniques
The MAPtest 800 portable modified atmosphere packaging analyser has been designed specifically for measuring oxygen concentrations over a wide range of food packaging and storage atmospheres. Based on a galvanic cell sensor which is unaffected by the presence of carbon dioxide, the unit offers a high degree of accuracy across the range 0 to 100%, and can be calibrated easily on air.
Applications:
- Modified atmosphere packaging companies
- Modified atmosphere packaging tester
- Modified atmosphere packaging
- Gas ratio for modified atmosphere packaging
- Modified atmosphere sterilized packaging
- modified atmosphere sandwich packaging
- modified atmosphere packaging investment
- modified atmosphere carbon monoxide packaging
A sample probe or a syringe, both of which are supplied with the analyser, is used to introduce the sample. When the probe is used an in-built pump, activated from the front panel, draws the sample through the probe into the analyser. The pumped volume is adjustable allowing measurements from different pack sizes. Once a measurement is made the result is shown and held on a large 3½ digit display.
The instrument is portable and is fitted with rechargeable batteries which provide from 16 to 30 hours operation, depending on pump use. The unit is housed in a tough ABS case with a carrying handle which doubles as a variable-height tilt foot for bench use. Optionally, a flowing sample kit can be supplied, enabling the operator to check oxygen content from a packaging machine or a gas mixer.
