O2 CO2 analyser for modified atmosphere (MAP) food packaging

Why measure O2 and CO2 in your food packaging?

Modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) replaces the ambient air inside the packaging with a controlled gas mixture, usually made up of nitrogen (N2), carbon dioxide (CO2) and a residual amount of oxygen (O2). Measuring O2 and CO2 simultaneously confirms that the gas mixture complies with your preservation specifications.

An O2/CO2 analyser guarantees that the gas level is correct to extend the shelf life of your food products while preserving their sensory quality.

Which O2 CO2 analyser range should you choose?

• Eco range (CANAL121 III): compact handheld analyser for occasional measurements. Built-in suction pump, automatic switch-off, docking-base charging.
• Pro range (BOX120, BOX120-USB, CANAL120 II): portable and benchtop analysers for intensive use. Sealed case, graphic display, USB port, optional zirconia sensor.
