OxySense - All-In-One Oxygen Analyzers for Permeation Studies, Non-Invasive Headspace and Dissolved Oxygen Studies and Leak Detection

OxySense® is the leading manufacturer of proprietary, optical oxygen analyzers for permeation studies, non-invasive headspace and dissolved oxygen studies and leak detection in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, bio-medical and electronics packaging industries. Our key products include the fully integrated OxySense 5000 Series permeation and non-invasive R&D and QC testing system, the OxySense 300 Series oxygen analyzer and the OxyOTR™ permeation system.

Non-invasive oxygen measurement systems

OxySense is the world’s first truly non-invasive measurement system for finished packages. The system is unique not only for its ability to measure oxygen non-invasively, but also for its ability to measure oxygen in both the headspace and in dissolved liquids.

The system non-invasively measures oxygen levels in transparent, translucent and semi-transparent packages and has the capability to simultaneously measure the OTR / permeation rate of all films including opaque films.

All OxySense systems comply with ASTM International standard F 2418-08, which covers a procedure for determination of the oxygen concentration in the headspace within a sealed package without opening or compromising the integrity of the package.

Key advantages of OxySense oxygen and OTR measurement include:

  • Non-destructive measuring technique
  • Measures in liquids and gases
  • Fast measurements (5 seconds)
  • Accurate (5% of the reading)
  • Reproducibility is better than 1% (0.2%)
  • Can withstand high temperatures (up to 150° for 1 hour)
  • Does not consume oxygen
  • Independent of pH and salt concentration
  • No interference from other gases
  • Operator-friendly software with automatic logging

OXYOTR™ permeation system

  • In August 2008, OxySense introduced the most exciting innovation in OTR / permeation testing in years
  • For the first time, you can test over 1,000 flat film and finished package samples simultaneously with little or no additional cost
  • Now you can test not only finished flex packages, but "live" finished flex packages

OXYDOT™ Oxygen sensing

For oxygen sensing within a package, an O2xyDot™ is placed inside a bottle or package prior to filling. The dot is illuminated with a pulsed blue light from an LED. The blue light is absorbed by the dot and red light is emitted. The red light is detected by a photo-detector and the fluorescence lifetime is measured. Different lifetimes indicate different levels of oxygen within the package.

Oxygen measurement for R&D and quality assurance

The OxySense 5000 Series and 300 Series are easy, accurate and low-cost methods for conducting leak testing and shelf-life studies on Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP), oxygen scavenging, closure seals and PET bottles. OxySense models are suitable for both the lab and the processing floor.

Packaging applications for OxySense

Packaging applications for OxySense include oxygen measurement for blister packs, pouches and bottles, and permeation/oxygen ingress testing for closures and films.

OxySense 5000 Series is a fully integrated oxygen analyzer system that provides reliable permeation (OTR) measurement, non-invasive oxygen measurement and leak detection for MAP, vacuum packaging, oxygen scavenging, closure seal, PET bottle and product shelf-life studies.
At half the cost of other systems, OxyOTR™ system can conduct an unlimited number of permeation measurement tests on packages and films simultaneously.
OxySentry™ is the real-time, in-line MAP oxygen monitoring and control system, suitable for both batch process MAP Chamber Line and form, fill and seal lines.
OxySense 300 Series oxygen analyzer system measures oxygen concentration using a non-invasive, optical methodology enabled by the 02xyDot™.
02xyDot™ enables non-invasive oxygen measurements to be made by placing the oxygen sensor inside a bottle or package prior to filling. The measurement is achieved by placing the fiber-optic reader/pen on the outside of the package immediately above the OxyDot.
