Product overview
The MAT1000 series draws a small package-headspace sample to check oxygen, carbon dioxide and calculated nitrogen, with four sensor combinations for range, throughput and CO₂ requirements.

| MAT1200 | O₂, CO₂, calculated N₂ | Electrochemical; 0.5–35 vol.% | NDIR; 0–100 vol.% | Approx. 10 s |
| MAT1400 | O₂ | ZrO₂; 0–100 vol.% | — | Approx. 5 s |
| MAT1500 | O₂, CO₂, calculated N₂ | ZrO₂; 0–100 vol.% | Dual-channel NDIR; 0–100 vol.% | Approx. 10 s |
Advantages
Atmosphere testing and model selection
- Tests O₂ and CO₂ in modified-atmosphere packaging for spot checks and gas-mixture monitoring at packaging machines.
- MAT1100 measures O₂; MAT1200 measures O₂ and CO₂. Both use an electrochemical O₂ cell with a 0.5–35 vol.% range.
- MAT1400 and MAT1500 use zirconia O₂ sensors covering 0–100 vol.%; MAT1500 also measures CO₂.
Sensors and measuring boundaries
- Electrochemical cells suit occasional checks; O₂ repeatability ±0.2 vol.% and resolution 0.1 vol.%.
- Zirconia absolute accuracy ±0.02 vol.% at O₂ <1 vol.%; relative error ±3% above 1 vol.%; resolution 0.001 vol.%.
- MAT1200/MAT1500 dual-channel non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) cells measure CO₂ over 0–100 vol.% with ±0.5 vol.% repeatability.
- N₂ is calculated as the residual gas fraction, not measured by an independent sensor; zirconia sensors have cross-sensitivity to flammable gases.
Operation and quality records
- 7.0-inch, 800 × 480 touchscreen with keyboard, mouse and barcode-scanner support.
- More than 10,000 methods and users; product/batch identifiers, alarm limits and user management.
- Measured-value stabilisation, air-pressure display and menu-guided adjustment; MAT1200 CO₂ measurement includes pressure and temperature compensation.

Selection guidance
Select by O₂ range, whether CO₂ is measured, sample throughput and expected residual oxygen. For low-residual-oxygen and high-throughput work, compare sensor technology and average measurement time.
