Can I use a sensor probe to measure the headspace in packaged products?
Yes, Ocean Optics’ needle probes are built into a special non-coring needle for insertion through septa on serum vials. If the probes are supplied with an overcoat, they can be used to test both headspace and dissolved oxygen in the sample. The headspace in pharmaceutical packaging and in food and beverage packaging are among the samples our customers have monitored.
