Gas analyser MAT1200

The economic solution

If you need to measure the concentrations of oxygen and carbon dioxide, then the MAT1200 will be the appropriate model. In addition to an electrochemical oxygen cell, it features a non-dispersive infrared sensor (NDIR) for the CO2 measurement over the measuring range of 0 and 100 volume per cent and with a high accuracy of ±0.5 volume per cent. The MAT1200 hence covers most carbondioxide applications in modified atmosphere packaging – at a very attractive price.

  • Easy and intuitively to use via touch-screen – even by untrained personnel
  • Low-drift electrochemical oxygen cell (EC) measures O2 in the measuring range of 0.5 to 35 vol.% with an accuracy of ± 0.2 vol.%
  • Low-drift non-dispersive infrared sensor (NDIR) measures CO2 in the measuring range from   0 to 100 vol.% with an accuracy of ± 0.5 vol.%
  • Short measurement period
  • Only a small sample volume required
  • Interface package for convenient transfer of measured values (USB, Ethernet, RS-232)

Typical applications

The gas analysers MAT1200 are the ideal solution for the food, but also electronics, pharmaceutical or cosmetics industries. The measurement range of the electrochemical oxygen cell between 0.5 and 35 volume per cent O2 makes it especially interesting for products such as fresh fruit, raw, low-fat fish or sea food, which are packaged neither under an oxygen-free nor particularly oxygen-rich modified atmosphere. From poultry to cut cheese to cake and pastries – the non-dispersive infrared sensor with its wide measurement range between 0 and 50 volume per cent  is suitable for most applications of carbon dioxide in modified atmospheres. Its high accuracy of ±0.5 volume per cent CO2 always ensures precise measurement results. A typical application is the control of oxygen and carbon dioxide concentration in the following products:

  • Coffee
  • Dried fruit
  • Bakery products
  • Cheese and soft cheese
  • Fresh pasta products
  • Desserts
  • Products with alcohol
  • Convenient
