MAPiQ™ Oxygen – Portable Oxygen Gas Analyser

The Bulgin MAPiQ™ Oxygen is a professional portable Modified Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) oxygen analyser designed for Quality Assurance (QA) and Quality Control (QC) professionals working within the food manufacturing industry. Engineered specifically for the rapid verification of oxygen (O₂) concentrations inside modified atmosphere packaging, MAPiQ™ Oxygen helps manufacturers ensure every pack leaving the production line meets product quality requirements and local and international food safety standards.

Approved by major Australian and New Zealand food gas suppliers, MAPiQ™ Oxygen has been developed for food manufacturers that require fast, reliable and repeatable oxygen analysis across a broad range of MAP food applications including fresh meat, poultry, seafood, dairy, bakery, fresh produce, ready meals and snack foods.

Utilising a high-accuracy electrochemical oxygen sensor, the analyser delivers accurate oxygen measurements in 10 seconds or less, allowing operators to verify package integrity, sealing performance and oxygen levels quickly and confidently on the production floor.

• Ready meals
• Snack foods
• Food packaging validation
• Seal integrity verification
• Production quality assurance
• Incoming and outgoing quality inspection

Why Measure Oxygen?

Oxygen concentration is one of the most critical quality indicators in Modified Atmosphere Packaging. Excess oxygen inside a package can accelerate spoilage, encourage microbial growth, reduce shelf life and negatively affect product appearance, flavour and freshness.

MAPiQ™ Oxygen enables operators to rapidly verify oxygen levels throughout production, helping identify packaging leaks, sealing issues and gas flushing inconsistencies before products reach customers.

By incorporating programmable product profiles, pass/fail alarm limits and operator identification, the analyser supports consistent quality control procedures while improving traceability across multiple production lines.

Technical Specifications

Intelligent Quality Control Features

MAPiQ™ Oxygen has been designed to simplify routine quality assurance procedures by allowing users to create customised Product Profiles for different food products. Each profile can store:

• Product name
• Customer identification
• Product weight
• High and low O₂ alarm limits
• Sample volume settings

Operators simply select the appropriate product profile before testing, significantly reducing setup time and improving consistency between production batches. Results are automatically stored together with the selected product, operator, production line, date and time for complete production traceability.

Data Management & Traceability

Every measurement can be saved within the analyser and exported as a standard CSV file for quality records and production reporting.

Each stored result includes:

• Date and time
• Product profile
• Operator ID
• Production line
• O₂ concentration
• Pass/Fail status

With storage for up to 10,000 measurements, MAPiQ™ Oxygen provides a comprehensive audit trail for quality assurance and food safety programs.

Designed for Food Manufacturing

MAPiQ™ Oxygen has been engineered specifically for food production environments, combining portability, intuitive operation and rapid measurement capability into a lightweight handheld instrument. The touch-screen interface, simple sampling procedure and optional Bluetooth® printer enable operators to obtain accurate oxygen measurements with minimal training while supporting routine production testing throughout the day.

The analyser is particularly suited to food manufacturers whose primary quality requirement is monitoring residual oxygen within modified atmosphere packaging, delivering faster measurement times than multi-gas analysers where carbon dioxide measurement is not required.

Note: MAPiQ™ Oxygen is intended for use by trained personnel responsible for quality assurance and packaging verification within food manufacturing operations. Regular calibration and routine maintenance should be carried out in accordance with the User Manual to maintain optimum measurement accuracy.

Built for Modern Food Production

From small food manufacturers through to high-volume production facilities, the Bulgin MAPiQ™ Oxygen provides a fast, accurate and dependable solution for verifying oxygen levels in modified atmosphere packaging. By combining advanced oxygen sensing technology with intelligent data management and production traceability, MAPiQ™ Oxygen helps food manufacturers protect product quality, maximise shelf life and demonstrate compliance with modern food production standards.
