Typical applications
Because of its excellent accuracy of ±0.001 volume per cent with the lowest O2
concentrations, the MAT1400 with its zirconium dioxide sensor is
primarily used to test oxygen free modified atmospheres for sterilised
finished products or electronic, pharmaceutical or cosmetic products.
Thanks to its wide measurement range between 0 and 100 volume per cent,
it can also be used for high oxygen concentrations as required for red
fresh meat. The investment in the zirconium dioxide sensor will quickly
pay off if many samples are measured every day due to the long service
life of up to 15 years. Thanks to the fast response time of 0.3 seconds,
only very little sample gas is required – an advantage especially in
case of a small headspace volume as it is common with sachets and
cosmetics products. The cross-sensitivity of the sensor toward humidity
and temperature is low. A regular adjustment is not necessary because it
is free of drift. Typical
applications are the control of oxygen concentration in particularly
oxygen-sensitive and sterilized products and products with high oxygen
concentration, such as:
- Fresh meat
- Sausages
- Dried foods
- Milk powder
- Fruit juices
- Yogurt and dairy products
