What is the difference between the Dansensor CheckPoint 4 and CheckMate 4 gas analyzers?

Dansensor Process line All Product

Both the Dansensor CheckPoint 4 and CheckMate 4 are high-precision gas analyzers used for quality control in Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) applications. While they serve the same core purpose — analyzing residual gas (typically O₂ and/or CO₂) in food, medical, and pharmaceutical packages — they differ in terms of design, use case, mobility, throughput, and flexibility.

 

Here’s a detailed comparison to help you identify which is more suitable for your production environment:

Dansensor CheckPoint 4 – Handheld, Battery-Powered Gas Analyzer

CheckPoint 4 - Handheld Gas Analyzer

Key Features:

  • Portable and cordless: Ideal for mobile spot-checks across production lines
  • Lightweight and ergonomic: Weighs approx. 600g — can be used one-handed
  • Fast measurement: Results typically in under 10 seconds
  • Sensor options: Available in O₂-only or O₂/CO₂ dual sensor versions
  • User-friendly touchscreen: 3.5″ color display with intuitive interface
  • Data storage: Internal memory, Bluetooth®, and USB export
  • User-replaceable sensor: Sensor module can be changed manually by the user, minimizing downtime

Typical Use Case:
✅ Quality inspectors perform random gas checks at multiple packaging lines during shift changes
✅ Ideal for low- to medium-throughput environments, where mobility and quick checks are required

Dansensor CheckMate 4 – Stationary, Bench-Top Gas Analyzer

CheckMate 4 - Benchtop Gas Analyzer

Key Features:

  • Fixed installation: Designed for central QA labs or at-line benches
  • Higher throughput: Suitable for continuous, repetitive testing of sample batches
  • Sensor technology: High-precision optical sensor for O₂ (optionally IR for CO₂)
  • Barcoded sample tracking: Optional barcode scanner for product traceability
  • Data management: Built-in printer, Ethernet, and USB connectivity
  • User calibration: Calibration routines for regulatory compliance (e.g., BRC, ISO, FDA)
  • Modular configuration: Can be combined with external automation such as carousel samplers

Typical Use Case:
✅ A QA team performs gas analysis on samples from every production batch in a controlled lab setting
✅ Recommended for high-volume operations or where data traceability is critical

Final Notes:

  • If flexibility and mobility are key, the CheckPoint 4 offers unmatched convenience.
  • If data traceability and high-throughput testing are your priority, the CheckMate 4 is the ideal solution.
