Mocon Inc. has developed a new instrument for oxygen transmission rate testing for all types of barrier materials. The new instrument is suitable for pharmaceutical and medical device manufacturers who need to test packaging structures for oxygen permeation.
Ox-Tran® Model 2/22 H is a fully automated, user-friendly system. With Mocon’s advanced technology and design enhancements, test times are reduced significantly, depending on barrier quality. In addition, the repeatability specification has been improved 2.5 times over the industry standard Ox-Tran Model 2/21 H.
Automation features include relative humidity, temperature, pressure, flow and testing, which are set via the integrated and intuitive touchscreen. Connectivity options allow for remote viewing and control from anywhere in the world. When testing film with unknown characteristics, the auto test feature determines the optimal parameters and conducts the test to completion. Sequential testing allows for a film to be tested at multiple temperature/relative humidity conditions with no operator involvement.
The Ox-Tran Model 2/22 H is designed to operate at a lower cost of ownership by eliminating several common maintenance costs. The install wizard allows for step-by-step user installation, and the gas saver feature automatically reduces gas consumption when the system is idle. In addition, many safety features have been added to increase component lifetime.
