Quantek - Model Q30 -Benchtop O2 Analyzer

Next Generation Technology
Introducing the Q30, the next generation of Quantek analyzers. This analyzer utilizes the latest in microprocessor-based sampling, and comes equipped with an advanced TFT display, smart charging, onboard data collection, advanced pump functions, and EasyCal calibration controls.

Long Life, Stable Sensors
The Model Q30 incorporates the latest fast response O2 sensor, which allows results to be obtained in 15-25 seconds for rapid spot checks. The oxygen sensor is rated for 5 years of life, which is far better than the competition. Other analyzers utilize cheap oxygen sensors which may last 18-24 months.

Easy Sampling Method
The sample probe connects to a barbed inlet fitting that is attached to the analyzer.  Extra probe tubing is included with each analyzer for easy exchange in case of contamination or damage.  The probe is tipped with a liquid blocking filter and tri-beveled, non-coring needle. The filter will block liquid and particle intake into the analyzer, and the needle is specially designed to prevent plugging.

User Friendly, Accessible Controls
Navigate the user-friendly interface, and you can adjust the oxygen calibration, pump time, and other parameters on the fly.  There’s no need to reboot and no need to warmup – it’s as easy as it gets.

About the Sensor
The electrochemical O2 sensor life is typically 4-5 years, unlike other analyzers with an electrochemical sensor that last 1-2 years. When required, replacement is easy and inexpensive.  The sensor is unaffected by high levels of background gases such as nitrogen or CO2.

Warranty Statement
The Model Q30 is backed up with a two-year warranty, twice the industry standard. Our service team responds quickly to the repair needs of our customers, and repairs and calibrations are conducted in our advanced facility in Massachusetts.

The microprocessor based “hold” function takes the guesswork out of testing. The reading automatically freezes on the display for 5 seconds (adjustable) when the test is complete, providing clarity of results to the operator.

With built-in data collection, values can be stored either automatically (with the hold function enabled), or with the touch of a button for each individual sample. For continuous testing, data collection can be set to store values at predetermined intervals from 1 second to 99 seconds*. Storage capacity is available to record 100,000 values, complete with date/time stamp. These values can be exported to a USB thumb drive as a “CSV” file.

* For example, if the interval is set to 10 seconds, the unit will store readings for 11.5 days continuously.

The Q30 features our 5 year oxygen sensor, reducing downtime and replacement costs.

Our long-life, proprietary design yields accurate low-level measurements down to 0.1% oxygen and measures full range up to 100% level. The sensor response is 5 seconds to 95%. The output is compensated for ambient temperature variations. The sensor is not heated, has no moving parts, and requires no routine maintenance. CO2 does not interfere with the oxygen reading – even 99% CO2 will have no effect on the oxygen reading.

The sample probe is one piece construction to minimize internal volume and to eliminate fittings which can leak. Inert tubing extends from the front panel fitting through the probe to the needle hub. The probe tip is fitted with a disposable filter for dirt and moisture removal. The removable needle has a tip with a side-port hole to prevent plugging.

The syringe needle attached to the end of the probe is inserted into the package through an adhesive-backed foam septum. With the pump on, sample is drawn through the probe and tubing into the oxygen sensor, through the pump and out to vent. The sensor signals are converted to concentration values and displayed on the front panel. The probe, tubing and sensors have been designed with minimal internal volume to reduce the sample volume needed, important for small package measurements. Neither sensor is heated, so the pump can be located downstream of the sensors and does not contribute to the volume requirement of sample. A disposable syringe filter can be inserted on the end of the probe to remove any moisture and dirt from the sample gas.

The internal miniature diaphragm pump has menu driven adjustable timing functions to operate in a number of timing configurations, including preset cycles. The pump is rated for 5000 hours, or about 5 years in a typical package testing environment.

Micro-processor based electronics are controlled by a 32-bit microprocessor, for sensor signal processing, pump timing, data collection and on/off control provide high accuracy and reliability with minimal component use to reduce size and cost.
