The Quantek Model 905V is a pharmaceutical headspace oxygen analyzer. Use it for headspace oxygen analysis in pharmaceutical products – vials, blister packs, bottles, or difficult tubes of products (such as cosmetics). Achieve results with as little as 1cc of headspace. Pharmaceutical preparations packaged in vials are often gas-flushed to provide a specific atmosphere in the vial, with defined levels of oxygen, nitrogen or other gases. Depending on the product, these vials can range in size from 1 ml to 250 ml or larger. Small vials present some difficulty for oxygen analysis because the sample volume available is often quite small. A five ml vial, for example, may have only one ml of headspace gas. For direct analysis with a pharmaceutical oxygen analyzer, the instrument must be capable of analyzing very small volumes. Our pharmaceutical oxygen analyzer is designed for this process. While we recommend a minimum of 1mL of sample, the analyzer will produce a partial response with as little as 0.5mL of headspace. Using interpolation, the final result can be inferred – or, you can combine two samples to produce a valid, averaged result across 0.5mL samples.
