The GBPI Y110 2.0 is an upgraded, versatile high precision oxygen permeability analyzer developed for advanced oxygen barrier verification across flexible packaging films, laminated barrier foils, thermoformed trays, bottles, and complete packaging containers. Engineered in strict compliance with international equal-pressure coulometric standards including ASTM D3985, ISO 15105-2, ASTM F1927, ASTM F1307, DIN 53380-3, and JIS K7126-2, this next-generation instrument delivers wide-dynamic-range testing capability with outstanding baseline stability.
Quantifying oxygen transmission rate (OTR) is crucial to preventing oxidative deterioration in food packaging, maintaining shelf life in pharmaceutical preparations, and verifying barrier efficacy in chemical packaging. Operating as a high precision oxygen permeability analyzer, the GBPI Y110 2.0 employs an equal-pressure coulometric detection principle: the test sample divides the chamber into an upper pure oxygen chamber and a lower carrier gas chamber. Ultra-pure dry nitrogen sweeps both chambers during initialization until baseline equilibrium is established. Oxygen gas then flows across the upper chamber, driving oxygen molecules across the specimen wall into the nitrogen stream. The effluent gas enters an advanced electrochemical fuel-cell sensor, which electrolytically reduces the permeating oxygen to generate a measurable electrical current governed strictly by Faraday's laws of electrochemistry.
Expanded Dynamic Range for Films & 3D Packages
Unlike standard analyzers limited to narrow permeability bands, the GBPI Y110 2.0 features an extended measurement dynamic range from 0.02 to 16,500 cm³/(m²·24h), with optional custom ranges up to 260,000 cm³/(m²·24h) for ultra-breathable membranes. With optional container testing fixtures compliant with ASTM F1307, the system enables quality engineers to test complete bottles, pouches, thermoformed blisters, and tubes under identical thermodynamic conditions.
Pneumatic Clamping & Environmental Regulation
The instrument features an automatic pneumatic rotary clamping mechanism that applies uniform clamping pressure across the sealing perimeter, preventing edge leakage and eliminating operator variance. Internal thermal control maintains test temperatures from 15 °C to 45 °C with ±0.1 °C precision, while dynamic dual-gas humidification manages relative humidity from dry 0% RH up to 100% RH.
The integrated PC software suite automates baseline equilibrium recognition, generates real-time OTR permeation curves, stores complete calibration histories, and creates tamper-proof test certificates adhering to GMP and FDA 21 CFR Part 11 guidelines.
