MAPtest 3050
Bench-mounted Zirconia Oxygen & CO2 Analyser for MAP Food
Packaging Testing |
The MAPtest 3050
is one of the most advanced analysers of its type. Controlled by a
microprocessor and housed in a stainless steel bench-top enclosure, it is
designed to be used by all types of personnel. Operation is simplicity itself.
Ease of use and neatness of operation were two of the key design requirements.
Equally at home in the research lab and the shop floor, no exceptional skills
are required to operate the instrument and precision results can be flawlessly
produced by everyone.
Advanced sensors measure the carbon dioxide and oxygen content of the sample.
Their outputs are analysed by the microprocessor, which displays the results
within five seconds. Auto calibration is achieved by use of highly stable
sensors. The initial calibration is performed after warmup, with subsequent ones
automatically activated at appropriate intervals. The automatic calibration
process can be manually activated. No calibration gases are required. An
illuminated four-line graphical display is used to show the results. Oxygen,
carbon dioxide and nitrogen balance are shown as percentage concentrations,
along with pass/fail messages if the limit sets are activated. Oxygen results
below 10% are resolved to a precision of 0.01%, enabling very exact measurements
of residual oxygen. Four sets of limits, that are user programmed, are provided
to detect a pass/fail result of the analysis. Each set may be easily selected as
required. 1000 results can be stored (concentrations, time, date) and downloaded
to a personal computer using optional software.
The data can be read by all leading spreadsheet packages for analysis, printing
etc. A fast external printer is available as an option to provide a timed and
dated hard-copy of the analysis. Both printing and storage functions may be
switched on and off by the operator. Two sampling methods are provided. Firstly,
the built-in pump can be used to withdraw a sample from a pack using the sample
probe supplied. The probe is suitable for single-handed operation, and the pump
can be programmed to withdraw volumes of 5ml to 90ml. Alternatively, a manual
syringe can be used to inject a sample through a septum port. When using this
method the sample flow is automatically detected and the analysis automatically
produced 5 seconds after the end of the sample delivery. A comprehensive set of
sampling accessories and consumables is also provided.
