Oxybaby is a portable analyzer for gas control in vacuum packaging and modified atmosphere packaging (MAP). It quickly measures residual oxygen (O₂) and, depending on the model, also CO₂ by needle sampling through a septum.
Key benefits: use directly on the production line, results in seconds, traceability (date, time, batch, operator), low sample volume, and simple calibration with reference gases.
It depends on usage, environmental conditions, and calibration. In typical applications, an electrochemical sensor provides an indicative service life of 12–24 months. The CO₂ sensor (if applicable) usually lasts longer.
How to extend its service life:
Calibrate with reference gases according to your quality plan.
Avoid prolonged exposure to extreme concentrations or contaminants.
Store the instrument under the recommended conditions and keep filters clean.
Replace needles, filters, and septa as required.
End-of-life signs include a slower response, needing recalibration more often, or unusual drift.
The gases inside the pack determine food safety, sensory quality, and shelf life: high O₂ accelerates oxidation (rancidity, color loss) and promotes the growth of aerobic microflora, so measuring oxygen confirms the effectiveness of the vacuum and the seal; in MAP, CO₂ helps inhibit sensitive flora and, in combined processes, CO₂ readings help detect leaks or process deviations; in addition, taking measurements by batch and shift improves process consistency by enabling timely adjustments to vacuum level, cycle times, or sealing jaws, while O₂/CO₂ records provide evidence for audits and support HACCP, BRC, and IFS.
