Instrumentation for MAP


Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) involves the modification of the head space gas in a package in order to prolong the shelf life of the product it contains. (food, pharmaceuticals etc.) The success of MAP depends on the packer's ability to correctly prepare the product and to control the concentrations of head space gas within the desired limits.
Topac offers a range of instruments related to the study and implementation of MA (modified atmosphere) and CA (controlled atmosphere) packaging.
