Shelf-life determination is made easy with Dansensor® OpTech. The laboratory oxygen sensor requires few instructions prior to usage and carries out accurate measurement of the O2 levels in MAP products, using a non-invasive method.
The experience of using the Dansensor OpTech can be improved further by investing in accessories like the ImPULSETM sensor which provides the ability to measure oxygen through opaque packaging material and in applications with limited headspace.
Headspace analyzers:
The optical oxygen sensor is not the only headspace analysis equipment from AMETEK MOCON. The product family consists of four other products that share the purpose of improving the ways of conducting accurate headspace gas analysis:
- Dansensor® CheckMate 3
Dansensor CheckMate 3 allows for operators to quickly clarify whether the headspace gas composition in a MAP product complies with the requirements. This versatile headspace analyzer is able to measure both oxygen and carbon dioxide/oxygen gases in MAP products of all shapes and sizes.
-
Dansensor® CheckPoint 3
The Portable headspace gas analyzer, Dansensor CheckPoint 3, is highly accurate and it can easily measure oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in MAP products. It has a modern user interface and unique options for managing data.
-
Dansensor® CheckMate PC Software
With Dansensor CheckMate PC Software, data from all the CheckMate analyzers in a production plant is transferred to a database. This makes data evaluation much easier for Quality Control managers working in large production environments.
- Dansensor® Can Piercer
The correct mixture of headspace gas is important to the quality of milk powder, soft drinks and other canned products. The Dansensor Can Piercer measures headspace gas of different kinds of containers with high accuracy. The Dansensor Can Piercer should be used with either the Dansensor CheckMate 3 or the Dansensor CheckPoint 3.
