Reliable Ambient Oxygen Permeation Testing for Finished Packages

A Better Solution for Whole Package Oxygen Transmission Rate Measurement

Ambient Package Testing to the Next Level
The OX-TRAN®2/48 analyzers are designed to take ambient package testing to the next level in efficiency and accuracy. With integrated functions designed for package testing they greatly reduce overall test time while the new package testing cartridges simplify sample preparation and improve repeatability of test results. The analyzers feature 8 cells split into 4 conditioning cells and 4 examination cells to increase the testing capacity.

High Capacity Testing
With 8 cells, the OX-TRAN®2/48 can test more packages in less time compared to traditional test methods. The 4 smart conditioning cells prepare samples by bringing them to equilibrium in less time using high flow purge and integrated sensors to identify when the packages are ready for testing. The 4 examination cells provide accurate transmission results in less time with the rapid response of the Coulox® sensor. The parallel operation of the conditioning cells and exam cells focuses the utilization of the available sensor exam time to provide results in less time versus a sequential operation.

Ambient Package Testing - Made Easy
The removable and interchangeable testing cartridges make sample preparation and testing simple and fast. For increased efficiency, multiple samples can be prepared ahead of time on the cartridges. The cartridges are mounted to the analyzer with the touch of a button.
The simple user interface with automated controls makes testing easy with little training. In certain applications, starting a new test may be a simple button press after the sample is mounted. Common test methods can be stored and recalled for re-use. For new or unknown sample types, the Auto-Test function will automatically adjust the test parameters to provide optimized test results without having experience with the package.

Coulox Sensor Technology
Using the patented coulometric sensor, the OX-TRAN®2/48 Permeation Analyzer provides the most precise and repeatable oxygen permeation data available on the market today. It is the basis for the ASTM D3985, requires no calibration and is the only sensor proven to meet its precision and bias requirements through independent third-party testing.

Additional Information

Additional Information

N/A The interchangeable test cartridges allow a wide variety of package sizes and types to be easily and accurately tested, many without the use party testing.

A key element to knowing your product’s shelf life is to first understand the OTR permeability of your package. Whether in the development process or as a quality control verification, OTR measurement of final packages can now be done with ease and confidence.

Testing For Pouches, Bottles, Trays, & More!
Real World Testing Conditions
The 2/48 is equipped to provide a range of controlled relative humidity on the carrier gas to replicate real world conditions. The RH control is available for both the conditioning cells and the exam cells. The instrument monitors the temperature and humidity of it’s surrounding environment, allowing it to match the carrier gas RH to the environment if desired.
High Efficiency Package Testing:
  • Parallel conditioning and testing cells increase throughput
  • Automated conditioning cycle reduces time to prepare samples for testing
  • Simple and secure one-button pneumatic cartridge mounting
  • Easy to use package test cartridges save time on sample preparation
  • High-flow purge cycle is up to 20 times faster than traditional methods
  • Quick response Coulox sensor reduces testing time.
