KRÜSS MAT1000 Series Headspace Gas Analysers

Series: MAT1000

Model: MAT1100 / MAT1200 / MAT1400 / MAT1500

The MAT1000 series samples package headspace through a needle in four configurations for O₂, CO₂ and calculated N₂ analysis.

Application / measured object:

Quality-control measurement of O₂, CO₂ and calculated N₂ in modified-atmosphere package headspace.

Application area:

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.

Models and core specifications

Model Measured gases O₂ sensor/range CO₂ sensor/range Average time
MAT1100 O₂ Electrochemical; 0.5–35 vol.% — Approx. 7 s
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.
Oxygen and carbon-dioxide testing in modified-atmosphere packaging.
Oxygen and carbon-dioxide testing in modified-atmosphere packaging.

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.

Application areas

For modified-atmosphere quality control of food, beverages, coffee, milk powder, meat, pharmaceuticals and other packaged goods.

Related accessories and consumables

Stainless-steel sampling needles (0.9 × 38 mm, pack of 12), PTFE dust filters, self-adhesive septa and protective covers are available separately.

Service support

  • Experienced specialists provide product selection, application and operation support.
  • Calibration, maintenance and maintenance contracts can be discussed as required.

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.
