PERMEATION INSTRUMENTATION

PERMEATION ANALYSERS

MOCON Permeation Analysers are used to test the gas permeability of packaging films and whole finished packages. The analysers provide Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) and Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) testing capabilities for a diverse range of materials and packages.

MOCON Water Vapor and Oxygen Permeation Analysers offer the highest repeatability and lowest limits of detection for OTR and WVTR measurements.

This means better QC of your packaging processes and higher confidence in your R&D results.

OXYGEN TRANSMISSION RATE PERMEATION ANALYSERS

MOCON Oxygen Permeation Testing Analysers are recognized as the industry-leading solution for over 50 years and are the basis for many global permeability testing standards such as ASTM D3985. The extensive line of OX-TRAN® oxygen permeation analysers represent decades of technical leadership and continuous innovation. The family of OX-TRAN analysers offer a solution for almost any Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) testing need from sheet or barrier films to all types of packages, bottles, cartons, and more.

OX-TRAN 2/12 OTR Analyzer

The OX-TRAN 2/12 series analysers can test the Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) on both films and packages from low to high barriers. These analyzers are a lower-cost option for reliable OTR analysis. The oxygen permeation measurement systems feature 2 independent cells with changeable horizontal test cartridges that allow a wide variety of sample sizes and types to be easily and accurately tested.

 OX-TRAN 2/22 OTR Analyzer

The OX-TRAN 2/22 series of high-performance analysers can test the Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) on both films and packages from low to very high-level barriers. The oxygen permeation analysers for packages and films are easy to use and offer the shortest test times available in the market. They feature 2 independent cells with changeable horizontal test cartridges that allow a wide variety of sample sizes and types to be easily and accurately tested.

 OX-TRAN 2/28 H OTR Analyzer

The OX-TRAN 2/28 H Oxygen Permeability Tester with its unique 4 cell capability can test four barrier samples at the same time providing twice the throughput of traditional OTR instruments. The new dual film horizontal cartridge is removable for easy sample preparation and the user-friendly operator interface provides real time status of testing against target limits.

OX-TRAN 2/40 OTR Analyzer for Packages

The OX-TRAN 2/40 series is the next evolution in whole package testing for Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR). These advanced analysers integrate MOCON’s proven OTR analyser system with a precision environmental chamber to elevate package testing to the next level in accuracy, repeatability and ease of use. With special functions designed for oxygen barrier testing, they greatly reduce overall test time while the new package testing cartridge designs offer simple sample preparation and improved repeatability of test results. They feature 4 independent cells with changeable test cartridges that allow a wide variety of package sizes and types to be easily and accurately tested, many without the use of epoxy.

OX-TRAN 2/48 OTR Analyzer for Packages

The OX-TRAN 2/48 series of Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) analyzers are designed for ambient testing of complete packages or other 3-dimensional samples. These 8 cell instruments provide high throughput to increase the testing capacity of your laboratory.  The 2-bank design allows 4 samples to be conditioned at the same time as the 4 samples are being examined.  This parallel operation greatly increases the efficiency of the analyzer while still providing the accurate and repeatable results you expect from MOCON.  They utilize the same interchangeable package testing cartridge designs as our other package testing analyzers and fixtures. These revolutionary cartridges offer simplified sample preparation and improved repeatability of test results. There is a wide variety of cartridge designs available to accommodate different package sizes and types, many without the use of epoxy.

WATER VAPOUR TRANSMISSION RATE PERMEATION ANALYSERS

Our MOCON Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) Permeation Analyzers offer a wide range of WVTR testing capabilities across the most diverse range of products and materials. From numerous film types, coated papers, and synthetic substrates in food & beverage and pharmaceutical applications, to encapsulated electrical componentsbuilding materialsmedical devices, various membrane formulations, and more, our PERMATRAN WVTR analyzers, also called Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR) analyzers, combine precision temperature and humidity control with our robust, high-sensitivity sensors offer extreme accuracy and application versatility.

AQUATRAN 3 WVTR Analyzer

The AQUATRAN 3 analyzer is the industries most trusted WVTR instrument for high to ultrahigh-level barriers because it can measure each molecule of water vapor entering the sensor. The analyzer is easy to use and offer the lowest detection levels available in the market. It features 2 independent cells with changeable horizontal test cartridges that allow a wide variety of sample sizes and types to be easily and accurately tested.

AQUATRAN 3/40 WVTR Analyzer for Packages

The AQUATRAN 3/40 is the next evolution in whole package testing for Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR).  This advanced analyzer integrates MOCON’s proven WVTR analyzer system with a precision environmental chamber to elevate package testing to the next level in accuracy, repeatability and ease of use.  With special functions designed for package testing they greatly reduce overall test time while the new package testing cartridge designs offer simple sample preparation and improved repeatability of test results.  They feature 4 independent cells with changeable test cartridges that allow a wide variety of package sizes and types to be easily and accurately tested, many without the use of epoxy. 

AQUATRAN 3/38 WVTR Analyzer

The AQUATRAN-W 3/38 H High Tech WVTR Analyzer with its unique 4 cell capability can test four barrier samples at the same time providing twice the throughput of traditional WVTR instruments. The new dual film horizontal cartridge is removable for easy sample preparation and the user-friendly operator interface provides real time status of testing against target limits.

PERMATRAN-W 3/34 WVTR Analyzer

The PERMATRAN-W 3/34 high-tech analyzers can test the Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR) on both films and packages from low to high barriers. They feature 2 independent cells with interchangeable horizontal test cartridges that allow a wide variety of sample sizes and types to be easily and accurately tested.

PERMATRAN-W 101K WVTR Analyzer

The PERMATRAN-W® 101K is a 6-cell instrument allowing you to test up to 6 samples at the same conditions simultaneously. The unique design allows accurate true permeation measurement through the samples that reflect real-life situations.

CARBON DIOXIDE TRANSMISSION RATE PERMEATION ANALYSER

MOCON Carbon Dioxide Transmission Rate (CO2TR) Permeation Analysers offer a wide range of CO2 permeability testing capabilities across a diverse range of products, materials and applications.
