Description:
Using advanced laser-based technology, it delivers precise and repeatable measurements for both high- and low-concentration MAP applications across a wide range of packaging formats.
This instrument helps ensure product integrity, reduce waste, and support food safety and shelf-life objectives by enabling testing without compromising the packaging or its contents.
How does it work?
The GPX1500 Film Food uses Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) to perform fast, accurate and non-destructive headspace gas analysis (HSA) in transparent food packaging.
During measurement, the package is placed on the sensor head, which gently creates a vacuum on the film surface to form a temporary bubble. A laser beam passes through this bubble to analyse the internal gas content, either oxygen or carbon dioxide, without damaging the package. The tested product can be returned to the production line or stored for later verification, supporting continuous and sustainable quality control.
Applications for the GPX1500 Film Food:
The GPX1500 Film Food provides accurate and repeatable gas measurements for MAP formats including:
- Trays
- Thermoformed containers
- Flow-wrapped products
- Form-fill-seal (FFS) bags
- Other flexible film packaging formats
Which makes it ideal for use in: Product development and validation, At-line quality control (QC), Small-scale production environments, and a natural addition to any Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point (HACCP) concept.
The GPX1500 Film Food is well suited for different oxygen-sensitive food products such as: Fresh meat, Ready meals, Dairy products, Baked goods, Processed foods.
Available variations:
- GPX1500 Film Food O₂ – Measures oxygen (O₂) concentration in the headspace of sealed food containers. Ideal for MAP applications involving oxygen-sensitive products.
- GPX1500 Film Food CO₂ – Accurately measures carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels in sealed packaging to support quality control in CO₂-modified atmospheres.
Product-specific adaptations of the instrument are available on request.
