High Performance OTR Testing for Barrier Films & Packages

High Performance Oxygen Permeation Analyzer

The OX-TRAN® 2/22 series of high-performance analyzers provide the highest accuracy and lowest level of Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) detection on the market. With three different models they can test both films and packages from low- to ultra-high level barriers. The analyzers are easy-to-use and offer the shortest test times available with the AMETEK® mocon® patented Coulox sensor. They feature two independent cells with changeable horizontal test cartridges that allow a wide variety of sample sizes and types to tested.

Coulox® Sensor

Coulox® Sensor

N/A The OX-TRAN® 2/22 Series use AMETEK® mocon®'s patented Coulox sensor which is an absolute (intrinsic) coulometric sensor requiring no calibration and is the basis for the ASTM standard D3985. It is the only instrument family proven to meet ASTM's precision and bias requirement through independent and 3rd party testing.

Extensive Testing Capabilities and Applications

Extensive Testing Capabilities and Applications

N/A The accuracy and wide testing capability of the 2/22 Series make it an ideal OTR instrument for both research and development or production support laboratories. It has the capability to test from mono-layer to multi-layer films, coated films to coated paper board, and specialty applications such as gels or lotions. With the optional adapter cartridge it can also test complete or partial packages, flexible or rigid containers, bottles/closures, and seals in the form of O-rings or gaskets. The interchangeable cartridges also work with other Next Generation AMETEK® mocon® permeation analyzers. These purpose-built cartridges increase accuracy, extend the range, or make it possible to test unique or difficult samples.

Removable Cartridges

Removable Cartridges

N/A
  • Easy sample prep on the bench-top.
  • One button release and loading.
  • Pneumatic clamping provides more repeatable results.
  • Interchangeable cartridge options for different applications.

TruSeal®

TruSeal®

N/A
  • Gas flushing of sample mounting seal protects chamber integrity.
  • Lowers background oxygen level reducing need to run individual zero.
  • Shortened testing time increases throughput.
  • More repeatable results.

Control Features

Control Features

N/A
  • Fully automated flow, temp, and RH control throughout tests.
  • Automatic test method development and recommendations.
  • Programmable multi-test sequencing.
  • Built-in sensor protection.

Advanced Control System

Advanced Control System

N/A The user friendly WinPerm 2 control system features fully automated testing including temperature, gas flow and RH control. Final test reports are automatically saved and can be set to automatically print and export to permanent storage directories. The analyzer is compatible with PermWare™, your complete permeation laboratory data management system. The test mode options make testing known or unknown samples easy and repeatable. A single button push initiates a fully automated test following pre-set stored parameters, reducing operator variability. The intuitive color touch screen is easy to learn and use while the automated testing provides consistent results and fewer potential errors.

Accuracy in Oxygen Permeation Testing

Accuracy in Oxygen Permeation Testing

N/A The OX-TRAN® 2/22 series analyzers feature our exclusive test cell drawer design with two horizontal removable easy-to-load cartridges improve test repeatability. A single button opens and closes the drawers, and the cartridge is automatically clamped in place with consistent and even force on any sample thickness. This approach provides greater test repeatability than manual or cam clamping methods. All test cartridges incorporate AMETEK® mocon®'s exclusive TruSeal® design that utilizes two seals and flushes gas between them to prevent ambient ingress into the test area. This reduces background levels, improves repeatability, and reduces the need to run individual zero.
