MAP gas analysis

Witt has introduced a low cost version of the Oxybaby V handheld gas measuring system for modified atmosphere food packaging (MAP) analysis.

The fully automatic Oxybaby M has been introduced to meet a demand from those food packaging companies who do not require the facilities to record measured results and export the data via an interface to a computer or printer, which is a standard feature of the Oxybaby V.

Oxybaby M is designed to measure the O2 and the CO2 content of the smallest food packages, such as salami, cheese slices and snacks as well as other food packaging, including poultry and salads. Running on a rechargeable battery, Oxybaby M measures the O2 and CO2 concentration with a measurement range from 0-100% in increments of 0.1%, while using a minimal amount of sample gas to obtain a reading. All measurements appear clearly displayed digitally after a sample time of 15 s. All menus are multilingual.

As with the Oxybaby V, this latest version includes a built-in needle making it easy to use and can be operated using one hand. It is lightweight, 600 g, and comes supplied in a robust carry case.
