The C201H Oxygen Transmission Rate Tester by Labthink is a laboratory OTR analyzer using a coulometric (equal-pressure) oxygen sensor to measure oxygen transmission of films, sheets and packaging containers with high precision and conformity to ASTM D3985.
Key features
Coulometric ppb‑class oxygen sensor with extended service life and over‑limit alarm.
360° constant‑temperature airflow circulation, automatic carrier gas flow and temperature control, NIST‑based humidity generation and high‑precision temperature/humidity sensors.
Patent dual test cell for films and containers with automatic clamping and quick mode switching.
Industrial color touchscreen, automated data acquisition, network port and support for central data management (DataShieldTM), GMP/CFR21 Part11 options.
Test principle
Sample is sealed between two chambers; oxygen diffuses through the sample and is carried by high‑purity nitrogen to the coulometric sensor; measured concentration is used to calculate OTR.
Standards
Designed to comply with ASTM D3985; compatible with ASTM F1307, GB/T 19789, GB/T 31354, DIN 53380‑3, JIS K7126‑2‑B, YBB 00082003.
