Unmatched Precision and Ease of Use in High Performance Oxygen Permeation Analyzers

Oxygen permeation, otherwise known as oxygen transmission rate (OTR), is the amount of oxygen that passes through a material.  Most commonly used in the food packaging, oxygen permeation rates are of interest to prevent food from spoiling or having an off-flavor.  When oxygen permeates through the packaging material, the oxygen reacts with the food product.  In some cases, packages with high oxygen permeation are desired.  Fresh cut fruits and vegetables actually require that the packaging material have some oxygen permeation.

Illinois Instruments offers two different oxygen permeation analyzers for measuring oxygen permeation.  The Model 8001 Oxygen Permeation Analyzer is considered a full turn-key system with variable temperature and controlled relative humidity while the Model 8500 Oxygen Permeation Analyzer has fixed temperature and smaller measuring range.

The Model 8001 Oxygen Permeation Analyzer offers a measuring range of 0.0005 to 28,000 cc/100in2/day OTR, 5 to 50oC temperature range, and 0-90% RH range.  This oxygen permeation analyzer has 2 test chambers, but is expandable up to 12 chambers per system.

The Model 8001 Oxygen Permeation Analyzer measures the oxygen permeation of flexible barrier materials as well as all types of packages.  The oxygen permeation analyzer offers a full measuring range of oxygen permeation, controlled temperature, and controlled relative humidity without the need of buying multiple units.  Operated with Windows-based software, the 8001 Oxygen Permeation Analyzer is simple to operate.  Simply load the film into the package, select target temperature and press start.  Finally, an oxygen permeation analyzer you can rely on.

Use the menu above for information on our Model 8500 Oxygen Permeation Analyzer for measuring oxygen transmission rate (OTR) or our Model 7001 Water Vapor Transmission Rate Analyzer for measuring water vapor transmission rate (WVTR).

Illinois Instruments' Model 8001 Oxygen Permeation Analyzer represents the ultimate in performance and simplicity of operation. Precision balanced electronics and gas handling subsystems ensure only the highest levels of performance and repeatability available. Computer controlled temperature and humidity simulate actual climatic conditions making the 8001 ideal for testing and researching both current and newly formulated packaging film materials. Calibration can utilize both standard gas and NIST traceable films for versatility of film to film comparison and reliability of analysis data. Standard Windows® based software and complete control of test parameters make the Model 8001 the most precise, flexible, and easy to operate oxygen permeation analyzer of its kind.
