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)
