AGC Instruments is an advocate of
handheld analysers for Modified
Atmosphere Packaging (MAP) to
achieve the most efficient and cost
effective quality assurance.
When using MAP, there are two main
issues which are the packaging seal
integrity and accurate gas mixtures. If
the seal integrity is sufficient, the gas
mixture should be accurate.
Therefore, AGC Instruments
developed the Map-Pak range of
