ECHO Ltd. was established in 1992 and has since become a global presence, producing high-quality, innovative instruments for the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, biological, medical, industrial, and ecological sectors.
Oxygen Analyzer in Packs - Hand O2, Food O2
- The Hand O2 device is specifically designed for the accurate determination of headspace and dissolved oxygen content within various packages. Its key feature is the use of micro-invasive sensor tips, which are smaller than 140 µm, enabling precise measurements without significant sample disturbance.
- The primary application for Hand O2 is packaging quality control in the pharmaceutical and beverage industries. This includes measuring oxygen concentration in:
- Blister packs
- Vials
- Tubes
- Other types of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP)
- Key Features:
- Non-extractive measurement: No need to extract samples, streamlining the testing process.
- High accuracy & precision: Ensures reliable and consistent oxygen readings.
- No oxygen consumption: The measurement process itself does not consume oxygen, preserving sample integrity.
- Versatile needle types: Different needle designs are available to accommodate various vial types.
- Pharmapack Software: Includes automatic statistical reporting for efficient data analysis.
- IQ & OQ documentation: Provides essential Installation Qualification and Operational Qualification documentation for regulatory compliance.
- Salinity factor input: Allows for accurate measurements in samples with varying salinity levels within vials.
- Broad compatibility: Suitable for use with aqueous solutions, ethanol, and methanol.
Respirometer
A respirometer is a device used to measure the respiration of living organisms. It determines the aerobic or anaerobic biodegradability of both solid and liquid samples across various applications.
The respirometer operates by measuring O₂ and CO₂ concentrations in the gas flow through a sample under controlled conditions. The system can also be equipped to measure additional gases.
Key Features:
- Suitable for solid and liquid samples: Versatile for a wide range of material types.
- Aerobic and anaerobic measurements: Supports both oxygen-present and oxygen-absent respiration studies.
- Individual Mass Flow Control (MFC): Mass flow controllers are set independently for each channel, ensuring precise gas management.
- Optional sensors: Can be customized with additional sensors for gases such as CH₄ (methane), H₂S (hydrogen sulfide), H₂ (hydrogen), VOC (volatile organic compounds), and more.
- Wide temperature range: Operates effectively from 5°C to 70°C.
- Automatic humidification and condensate removal system: Ensures stable and accurate measurement conditions by managing moisture.
- Automatic leakage detection: Enhances reliability and accuracy by identifying and alerting to potential leaks.
