The PERMATRAN-C 4/30 CO2 permeation analyzer can test the Carbon Dioxide Transmission Rate (CO2TR) on both films and packages from low to high barriers. It features two independent cells with interchangeable horizontal test cartridges that allow for a wide variety of sample sizes and packaging materials to be easily and accurately tested.
High Accuracy
MOCON’s patented modulated infrared sensor is the only modulated sensor system on the market meeting ASTM F2476
Low CO2TR detection levels down to 0.5 cc/(m2 x day)
Fully automated temperature, flow controls simplify testing and provide unparalleled repeatability
High Throughput
Modulated IR sensors measure CO2 gas concentrations in real time greatly reducing overall CO2TR test times compared to Zahm-Nagel CO2 testing methods
Excellent correlation to Zahm-Nagel shelf life studies allowing equivalency while significantly reducing long term testing
Automated test methods can start a test by a single press of a button
TruSeal gas flushed perimeter sealing can eliminate the need for absolute zero in many tests, thus shortening overall test times
The PERMATRAN-C 4/30 analyzers can test the Carbon Dioxide Transmission Rate (CO2TR) from low to high barriers on films, packages and bottles. Unlike manometric or Zahm-Nagel methods that require long periods of time to provide results the PERMATRAN-C 4/30 utilizes MOCON’s patented modulated IR sensor system allowing it to provide accurate results in much less time.
