Mocon    Minneapolis, MN 55428
Feb 22, 2013 Using proprietary technology to measure water vapor transmission rate down to 5x10^-5 g/(m²-day), AQUATRAN® Model 2 targets ultra-high barrier structures such as flexible films for OLEDs. Instrument utilizes AquaTrace® Gold coulometric sensor which is based on Faraday’s Law. Every water molecule entering sensor is directly converted to measureable charge. No calibration is necessary, assuring accurate test result. With TruSeal™ technology, seal-edge leaks due to ambient humidity are minimized.

Conditioning System accelerates oxygen permeation testing.

Oct 19, 2012 Developed for use with OX-TRAN® Model 2/61 Oxygen Permeation Test System, RACK-6™ offers separate 6-cell conditioning unit which enables flexible or rigid packages to be brought to equilibrium offline before moving them to OX-TRAN Model 2/61 for final test results. Container Transfer Units allow individual package transfer from conditioning unit to testing unit. Supplied with 12 CTUs, RACK-6 system allows for 6 samples to be conditioned while 6 samples are tested on OX-TRAN Model 2/61.

Oxygen Test System gains functionality via 3 accessories.

Mocon    Minneapolis, MN 55428
Oct 09, 2012 Serving food and pharmaceutical applications, OpTech® system uses optical sensor that gives off light directly related to amount of oxygen present in package headspace or dissolved oxygen in liquid product. Available accessories include portability kit to enable mobile testing away from lab; needle attachment, with fluorescing sensor material applied to its tip, for testing packages with minimal headspace; and ImPULSE™ sensor for working with opaque materials and retort applications.

Dairy/Milk Testing Instruments measure bacterial levels.

Mocon    Minneapolis, MN 55428
Aug 02, 2012 GreenLight® instruments use oxygen-depleting technology to measure aerobic bacterial levels and can provide results for raw milk within 30 min to 5 hr. When fully automated GreenLight 930 is used, bar-coded APCheck(TM) vials (which has built-in sensor material) can be batch loaded onto 48-position carousel or individually loaded at any time during continuous mode. GreenLight 910 is sized to enable placement closer to source, and GreenLight assay has dedicated reader.

All-in-One Tester analyzes packages with degassing valves.

Mocon    Minneapolis, MN 55428
Apr 23, 2012 As combination testing system for packages with one-way degassing valves, MultiCheck® 425 measures headspace carbon dioxide (CO2) and oxygen (O2). System also performs pressure decay leak test, seal strength burst test, and one-way degassing valve performance test via Valve Test Unit(TM) (VTU). By combining 5 tests in one unit, product conserves time, labor, and samples needed to conduct individual testing; single package cycles through all tests on one unit.

Non-Invasive Analyzer examines O2 in pharmaceutical blisters.

Mocon    Minneapolis, MN 55428
Feb 16, 2012 With optical sensor that gives off light directly related to amount of oxygen present, OpTech® - O₂ system enables non-invasive, non-destructive thermoformed blister package testing. System complies with ASTM F2714, is stable in ambient light, and can determine oxygen headspace, dissolved oxygen, ingress, and permeation rate in flexible and rigid packaging under real-life conditions. Values are read in 0.5 sec, and oxygen measurement range is 0.001%-25%.

Fully Automated Tester measures bacterial aerobic plate count.

Mocon    Minneapolis, MN 55428
Jun 10, 2011 Targeting companies and laboratories dealing with food, GreenLight(TM) 930 provides aerobic plate count (APC) or total viable count (TVC) of food sample's microbial load using sensing assay or vial. Results, depending on bacterial load, can be obtained between minutes and 8 hr, and process is automated via 48-position carousel inserted into main unit. System feeds bacterial information to PC via dedicated software; pass/fail and multipoint modes are also available.

Package Integrity Tester addresses degassing valve issues.

Mocon    Minneapolis, MN 55428
May 02, 2011 MultiCheck(TM) 400 combines O2 headspace, pressure decay leak, seal strength burst, and valve (leak and seal strength) tests, decreasing time, labor, and samples required to conduct individual assessment of packages with one-way degassing valves. Single package cycles through all of analyses on one unit, and included Valve Test Unit(TM) (VTU) measures values to tenths of pound/in.² System is suited for quantifying opening and sealing pressure levels.

Bacterial Testing System maximizes throughput with same-day results.

Mocon    Minneapolis, MN 55428
Apr 15, 2011 GreenLight(TM) 910 minimizes testing time and labor required to determine aerobic bacterial counts in meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, and produce for food processing and packing companies. Depending on expected bacterial load, results can be obtained between minutes and 8 hr. Functionality provides aerobic plate count (APC) or total viable count (TVC) of food sample's microbial load using sensing assay or vial, and system can generate unique ID for each test to facilitate tracking.

Multipurpose Packaging Analyzer finds headroom, seal strength, leaks.

Mocon    Minneapolis, MN 55428
Nov 11, 2010 MultiCheck(TM) 300 provides packagers with all-in-one system that conducts tests for measurement of oxygen headspace, leak detection, and seal strength. Headspace results are determined by probe/pump system, and pressure is applied to determine seal strength. Suited for shelf life sensitive applications involving food, pharmaceutical, and medical products, system can be used to test variety of packages, including flexible, rigid, and composites.
