Introduction to the CheckMate measurement system
The CheckMate is a sensitive oxygen / carbon dioxide analyzer designed for use with modified atmosphere packages. The instrument works by drawing a small sample of the head-space gas into a special zirconium detector. The analysis is very quick and the results are displayed on an LCD display within a few seconds. The CheckMate is self contained it includes everything you need for the analysis of MAP packages and includes an extensive range of features for ease of use, and ease of maintenance. A unique feature of the CheckMate is its ability to perform an analysis on only a very small sample of head space gas - even down to 1 ml for some pharmaceutical applications. This makes the CheckMate useful for almost all types of modified atmosphere packages. ( Click here to see an accessory for cans and bottles )

The CheckMate MAP analyzer is easy to use - 3 modes
The CheckMate has been designed for ease of use, - the measurement procedure is fully automatic, all the operator needs to do is to insert the needle through a septum into the head space of the package being tested. This automatically triggers the measurement cycle and produces a readout of oxygen concentration on the LCD display, on the printer and in memory. Other operating modes allow you to set up an analysis and start the measurement cycle at the push of button. The Checkmate also has a continuous mode of operation which will carry out a continuous analysis of an environment or stream of gas.

Your test data is recorded automatically
The results from each CheckMate analysis are automatically stored in memory and can be printed out on the built in printer or downloaded to a PC. Tests can be categorized by product type (or machine etc.). There are 10 categories built into the CheckMate which you can customize with names of your own.

Calibrated and ready to use
The CheckMate comes ready calibrated, with a certificate of calibration, and only needs to be re-calibrated once a year. The operator never needs to worry about compensation for air pressure or flow verification because this is all taken care of automatically. If you do want to re-calibrate the CheckMate yourself you can take advantage of a built in automatic calibration routine.
