Top 4 Factors to Be Considered Before Using an Oxygen Analyzer

In the food packaging industry, the flavor and freshness of food are related to the oxygen concentration present in those food packages. Thus, it is very important for the manufacturers to measure the levels of oxygen present in products like food packages, medicines, or other related items. With the help of an oxygen analyzer-Toray, you will be able to test the concentration of oxygen present in the food items. The Zirconia oxygen analyzer is the best testing instrument available at Presto Testing Instruments that will help you to maintain the natural nutritional and textural standards of the product.

Here in this blog, we are going to discuss the top 4 factors that you should consider before using this advanced testing instrument. But, before that let’s discuss how the o2 analyzer will help in assuring your product quality.

How oxygen analyzer helps in measuring the concentration of oxygen?

The oxygen content present in the food package will help in the growth of microorganisms that can eventually destroy your products. This will result in the distortion of food and other packed materials. By measuring the amount of oxygen present in the products, you will be able to reduce the growth of microorganisms and allow freshly packed food to be delivered to your customers. Thus with the help of a Toray oxygen analyzer, you will be able to maintain the nutritional value of the product. 

 This lab testing instrument comes with a sampling probe that will help you to measure the level of oxygen present in the gas.

You can easily measure the oxygen level in the package by connecting the pen-shaped sampling probe with the package. When you switch on the machine, then you need to wait for three to four minutes for warm-up and after completion of 3-4 minutes, you can easily attach the rubber sheet to test the sample effectively.
