Overview
Our best-selling Dansensor® CheckPoint® 3 is now available with an electrochemical sensor. The electrochemical sensor is designed for food applications including applications with a high concentration of oxygen in the headspace.
Food applications the Dansensor CheckPoint 3 EC is designed for:
- Bread (treated with alcohol)
- Coffee
- Fermented products
- Fish (smoked)
- Fresh pasta
- Red and smoked meat
With Dansensor® CheckPoint 3 CO2 and O2 levels can quickly be checked for Modified Atmosphere Packages in all shapes and sizes. The handheld gas analyzer is easy to use, fast at processing data, and uses an optical sensor to provide the highest level of accuracy among similar products. This is an efficient way of improving MAP quality control.
Users of Dansensor CheckPoint 3 furthermore enjoy features and benefits, including:
- Improved process efficiency
- Low cost of ownership
Headspace analyzers:
This portable gas analyzer is part of a family of headspace analyzers. Below is a brief introduction to other related products in the category, explaining their features and how they differ from and complement the Dansensor CheckPoint 3 handheld gas analyzer.
- Dansensor® CheckMate 3
Like the Dansensor CheckPoint 3, the Dansensor CheckMate 3 is a cost-effective headspace analyzer that allows for operators to measure both O2 and gas mixtures combining O2 and CO2. It is a benchtop analyzer, versus the portable CheckPoint 3. - Dansensor® CheckMate PC Software
This software can control several Dansensor headspace analyzers in large MAP production environments. This makes it easier to collect and evaluate data about the headspace gas of products tested with either Dansensor CheckMate ll or CheckMate 3. - Dansensor® Can Piercer
The correct mixture and amount of headspace gas is vital to the quality of canned products. To ensure compliance with requirements and to achieve consistency in the delivery of prolonged shelf-life products, the Dansensor Can Piercer can be used to sample the headspace gas of milk powder cans, wine bottles and similar containers. Use it in conjunction with a CheckPoint or CheckMate Analyzer to get accurate headspace gas analysis for your canned goods. - Dansensor® OpTech
Dansensor OpTech is made for measuring the oxygen levels in MAP products. It is most often used in laboratories and is recognized for its ability to conduct non-invasive oxygen measurements through transparent foil.
