• Operation safety-- Equipped with intelligent optics sensors which give sound and light alert to ensure safe operation.
• Performance reliabilitythe instrument adopts components of global renowned brands, to ensure stable and reliable performance.

Space saving

• The width of the instrument is only 1/3 of the traditional six-cell instrument, saving space for a laboratory.

Powerful functions

• Professional test mode provides flexible and diverse control options to meet various needs of scientific research.
• The system provides oxygen transmission rate curve, oxygen transmission coefficient curve, temperature curve, and humidity curve.
• Ultra-wide test range to meet the barrier test of various materials (customize).
• Ultra-wide temperature range to meet the barrier test under different extreme temperatures (optional).
• The gas purifier independently developed by Labthink can remove trace oxygen in nitrogen and provide oxygen-free carrier gas (optional).

Test Principle

The pre-conditioned specimen is clamped in the test cell, oxygen or air flows on one side of the specimen while a stream of high purity nitrogen flows on the other side. Oxygen molecules permeate through the specimen into the nitrogen side and are carried to the coulometric sensor. The sensor analyzes the oxygen concentration and calculates the oxygen transmission rate and other factors.
