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.

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.

Features N/A Interchangeable Cartridges for Testing Versatility
These instruments feature our exclusive test cell drawer design with one horizontal removable easy-to-load test cartridge that improves test repeatability. One button opens and closes the drawers, and the cartridge is automatically clamped in place with consistent force on any sample thickness. This provides greater test repeatability than manual or cam-clamping methods. With the cartridge removed, it is easy to clean and consistently load samples on the bench-top, reducing operator variability.

The interchangeable cartridges also work with other MOCON® permeation analyzers. These purpose-built cartridges increase accuracy, extend the range, or make it possible to test unique or difficult samples. All test cartridges incorporate our proprietary TruSeal® design, which uses 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.

Testing Capabilities and Applications
These 1-cell models are designed to be effective yet simple-to-use instruments for a wide range of applications where low throughput is acceptable. The testing capability make them an ideal OTR or WVTR instrument to test single samples from mono-layer to multi-layer films, coated films and coated paper board. Whether it is research and development at a university or as a QC instrument to support production operations, the 1-cell modules provide reliable data to support your permeation testing needs.
