CheckMate 4 – Bench-top Headspace Gas Analyzer O2 / CO2
Accurate, Fast and Reliable Headspace Gas Testing.
The Dansensor® CheckMate 4 is our premier headspace gas analyzer – a compact tabletop instrument that combines extreme accuracy and reliability with an intuitive user experience. You can trust the Dansensor CheckMate 4 to quickly provide accurate and precise measurements – every time.
The intuitive multilingual touchscreen interface helps minimize the training time needed for new operators. At the same time, individual user logins provide limited access to functions, helping to secure data and traceability.
Save test settings for up to 1000 products on the instrument to ensure complete and comparable data records. Quickly switch between product test settings on-screen or by scanning the product’s barcode with the optional barcode scanner.
Automated data storage of up to 1,000,000 tests on the instrument ensures accuracy and speed by eliminating the time and risk associated with manual data entry.
In addition, data can be transferred via LAN in real time (or via USB drive) to the optional PC software or third-party software. This fast and secure data transfer makes it easy to monitor data across multiple packaging lines and prepare for audits.
To maximize reliability and uptime, the Dansensor CheckMate 4 features an improved sample system and pump to avoid blockages and ensure smooth operation. This focus on maximizing reliability and uptime is also apparent in the instrument’s unique functional design.
The instrument is made up of two components – the control unit and an exchangeable sensor module. This means it is now possible to update the instrument’s sensor module with a newly calibrated module on-site in minutes, eliminating costly and time-consuming service downtime.*

Applications of CheckMate 4 Accurate Headspace Gas Analyzer
This tabletop headspace analyzer is often used directly at the packaging line to quality check that MAP packages contain the correct gas mixture. Use the Manual Spot or Auto Spot measuring modes to test for:
- O2 content
- O2 and CO2 content
It is suitable for a wide variety of food, beverage, pharmaceutical and medical packages that utilize a modified atmosphere.
Some examples of our customers’ applications include: Snack Foods – Bakery – Pizza – Meats & Cheese – Nuts – Fish – Fruit, Salads & Vegetables – Pet Foods – Pharmaceutical Packaging – Medical Devices
Alternatively, use the Intermittent measuring mode in the laboratory for testing new package designs and materials and conducting shelf-life studies. The Continuous mode can help you ensure your gas mixer is adjusted correctly and is useful in selected research experiments.
