MOCON, Inc. has introduced added CO2 capabilities with the launch of its new MultiCheck® 425—a new, combination testing system for packages with one-way degassing valves.
The latest instrument in the MultiCheck® series measures headspace carbon dioxide (CO2) in addition to oxygen (O2). The unit also measures leak detection, seal strength and one-way degassing valve performance via MOCON’s new Valve Test Unit™ (VTU).
Because five different tests are combined into one unit, the MultiCheck® 425 system significantly impacts time, labor and samples needed to conduct individual testing.
Instead of destroying five different packages to conduct the same number of tests, a single package cycles through all of the tests on one unit. First the O2 and CO2 headspace analysis, followed by the pressure decay leak test, then a seal-strength burst test and finally the valve test, which tests both the leak and the seal strength of the valve.
