OxySense®, Inc., provider of non-invasive optical oxygen analyzers and permeation testing instruments for packaging industries, announced the addition of its BottlePerm Fixture to its array of permeation/oxygen transmission rate (OTR) accessories. This fixture allows bottle, cork, cap, and closure, as well as plastic cup manufacturers, to run permeation/OTR measurements with ease.
The BottlePerm Fixture is designed to facilitate the determination of the OTR of a bottle by providing a platform on which to easily seal and then purge a bottle of all oxygen. Once purged, permeation/OTR is determined via the embedded OxyDot (O2xyDot®) and the OxySense 5250i OTR software package. The BottlePerm Fixture can also be used for permeation/oxygen transmission rate analysis of containers such as yogurt cups, as well as closure evaluation of wine bottle corks and screw caps.
The Bottle Perm Feature offers a practical and economical application solution for bottle, cup, and other packaging manufacturers,
