Why is it important to monitor both gas content and package integrity in MAP processes — and which Dansensor models can perform these tests?
🔹 Gas Content Analysis
Monitoring the oxygen (Oâ‚‚) and carbon dioxide (COâ‚‚) levels inside a sealed package is essential to prevent spoilage, oxidation, or microbial growth. The following models provide accurate gas composition readings:
Portable headspace gas analyzer with optical sensor technology; ideal for on-the-go sampling and QA spot checks.
Suitable for food, pharma, and medical packaging.
Benchtop analyzer for high-volume testing with fast cycle times. Offers repeatable and accurate results with data logging capabilities.
Best for production labs and routine testing.
Dansensor MAP Check 3 (in-line analyzer)
Continuously monitors gas content during the packaging process. Detects variations in real time, reducing waste and rework.
🔹 Package Integrity Testing
Even if gas content is correct at the time of packaging, leaks or poor seals can cause rapid deterioration. These models assess seal strength, leakage, and overall package integrity:
A non-destructive leak tester using COâ‚‚ as a trace gas. Detects microleaks in trays, bags, and flow-wrapped packages.
A precision seal strength tester capable of burst, creep, and leak tests per ASTM/ISO standards. Commonly used in regulated industries like pharmaceuticals and medical devices.

Summary: Why both tests matter
- Gas content testing confirms that the right atmosphere is inside the package.
- Integrity testing ensures that the package can retain that atmosphere over time.
Used together, these Dansensor systems create a robust MAP quality control workflow — minimizing spoilage, supporting regulatory audits, and maintaining customer trust.
