AGC Map-Pak Headspace Gas Analyser Accurate Analysis of Gas Flushed Food Packaging About the Map-Pak Analyser Range Designed specifically for the Food Industry, the Map-Pak food gas analyser measures the content of gas flushed food packaging. The Map-Pak range includes two analysers: 1. The Map-Pak Combi measures the Oxygen, Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen content in gas flushed food packages (the latter being as a balance gas). 2. The Map-Pak O2 measures the Oxygen content in gas flushed food packages. Both versions provide a key analytical solution to cover your food packaging quality control requirements. The Map-Pak Combi, which shows the measurements for all three major gases used in food packaging, is the most flexible solution to cater for a wide range of gas mixtures across multiple product lines. The Map-Pak range was developed as quality control devices that have a range of features and can be used with minimal training. These lightweight portable analysers are easy to use in quality control functions and can be used for all food applications, as well as some applications in the pharmaceutical industry. Sample measurements and results are achieved within 10 seconds and the operator can modify the various features of the analyser to best suit their requirements. A minimal gas sample is required and three sample volume options are available to suit all packaging types. A long battery life also ensures continuous operations in busy production schedules. An ergonomic probe holder which features an integrated needle cover allows users to pick up and put down the sample probe safely and with ease. Furthermore, strengthened and wipe-clean ABS Plastic is used for weight reduction and increased comfort for the operator, ensuring numerous analyses are taken quickly. Large LCD Display with backlight Measurement range of 0.1% - 100% Highly Accurate Measurement results achieved within seconds Integrated data logging with large measurements capacity Adjustable alarm feature with pass/fail indicator Safety holster and cover for the probe and needle Operator I.D. selectable Product I.D. selectable Available in multiple languages MP Downloader Software is included with every unit

Principle of Operation The Map-Pak, using a small gas sample from the gas flushed pack, measures and records levels of Oxygen (O2) or Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide (CO2). The levels of gas are measured using specially customised sensors; Oxygen levels are measured by an electrochemical sensor and the Carbon Dioxide levels are measured by a nondispersive infrared sensor (NDIR). An electric pump provides a small amount of gas into the sensor. The O2 and CO2 particles are detected by the respective sensors and the measurements are displayed on the screen within seconds. The N2 level is then...
