This is the first non-invasive oxygen measurement system for sealed packages. It is tailored for the needs of the food, beverage, and pharmaceutical industries. The system is unique not only for its ability to measure oxygen non-invasively, but also for its ability to measure oxygen in headspace as well as in dissolved liquids. It is an optical system that can measure oxygen concentration within packages that are transparent, semi-transparent, and translucent; and as long as the packaging material can transmit blue and red light (at approximately 470nm and 610nm respectively), a measurement can be made. Our technology relies on a non-invasive, light sensitive, oxygen sensor. Placed in packages prior to filling, measurements are achieved simply with a fiber-optic reader pen from outside the package. The models available are:

• OxySense 325i – This is our base model offers the ideal solution for conducting non-invasive or invasive measurements in oil, water or air. The instrument requires a computer interface and performs non-invasive headspace analysis for packages, bottles and blister packs; package material and design evaluation; closure design and evaluation; MAP production start up monitoring; research and development; QC and assurance, as well as product oxidation studies. It is particularly ideal for smaller labs, companies considering bringing their oxygen testing requirements in-house for the first time and companies looking for a low-cost solution.
