Gas Concentration Measurement
Antares Vision Group offers advanced in-line solutions for ensuring product integrity and food safety through precise, non-destructive gas analysis. Among these are the EVO-P and EVO-TRACE CO₂ systems—innovative technologies based on laser spectroscopy.
EVO-P monitors O₂ and CO₂ levels in sealed packaging to verify the correct modified atmosphere and assess product preservation, while EVO-TRACE CO₂ detects microbial contamination by measuring CO₂ variations in the container headspace. Together, they provide powerful tools for quality assurance, shelf-life optimisation, and process control across various food applications.
We can build our machines fully to retail specification.
EVO Trace CO2
EVO-TRACE CO₂ is a laboratory instrument designed to detect microbial contamination by measuring trace levels of carbon dioxide in the headspace of sealed containers. Using non-destructive laser spectroscopy, it identifies CO₂ changes caused by microbial growth—particularly useful for products in quarantine or packaging not suitable for visual inspection. Ideal for dairy applications, EVO-TRACE CO₂ offers faster spoilage detection than traditional methods, with results possible within 24 hours at just 1 CFU/mL contamination.
Benefits:
- Ensures product safety by detecting the presence of microorganisms
- Repeatable measurements
- Laser spectroscopy-based
- Non-destructive method
- High reliability
- Fast and repeatable measurement
- Suitable for all bottle closures
- No consumables or wear parts
- Automatic measurement of product temperature

O2 / CO2 non-destructive analyzer – EVO P
EVO-P is a non-destructive gas analyser that measures oxygen (O₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels inside sealed food packaging using advanced laser spectroscopy. It accurately verifies gas concentrations in MAP (Modified Atmosphere Packaging) products, ensuring optimal conditions for shelf-life and quality. EVO-P helps detect packaging issues or oxygen presence that may affect flavour or preservation and allows repeated testing over time—ideal for evaluating gas-food interaction, especially with sustainable packaging changes.
Benefits:
- Guarantee the correct mixture of gas inside the packaging for MAP product
- Evaluation of gas-food interaction during the shelf life of the product
- Increase the number of analyzable samples for repeatable measurement
- Non-destructive method-sustainability increase
- No variability in measurements due to the operator
- Accurate evaluation of the effects on food in case of a change of type of packaging, i.e. sustainable
- Laser spectroscopy based
- Non-destructive analyzer
- Suitable for all sealed packaging (bags and trays)
