AquaSense 7101
Water Vapor Analyzer
Precision WVTR measurement with advanced P2O5 coulometric sensor. Industry-leading accuracy from 0.002-1000 g/m²/day for packaging films, pharmaceuticals, and barrier testing applications.
Why Choose P2O5 Over Infrared?
Avoid outdated 1990s infrared sensor technology. The P2O5 coulometric sensor delivers absolute measurement precision without calibration.
Infrared Sensors (1990s)
- Prone to drift and inaccuracies over time
- Requires frequent recalibration
- Daily conditioning required before use
- Sensitive to environmental changes
- Higher long-term maintenance costs
P2O5 Coulometric Sensor
- Absolute moisture measurement - no calibration needed
- ASTM F1249 & F3299-18 compliant
- Stable, long-term accuracy
- NIST traceable validation in hours
- Low replacement costs with anti-surge protection

Where WVTR Testing Matters
The AquaSense 7101 serves critical moisture barrier testing needs across packaging, pharmaceuticals, and materials R&D.
Flexible Packaging Films
WVTR testing of BOPP, PET, PE, metalized films, and multi-layer laminates for food, snacks, and confectionery packaging moisture protection.
Pharmaceutical Packaging
Blister pack testing, strip packaging, bottle closures, and sachets for drug stability and shelf-life validation per FDA/ICH guidelines.
High-Barrier Coatings
Testing AlOx, SiOx coated films, EVOH barriers, and vacuum-deposited metallization for ultra-low WVTR applications.
Sustainable Packaging
WVTR characterization of biodegradable polymers, PLA, paper-based barriers, and compostable packaging for eco-friendly solutions.
Medical Devices
Sterile barrier testing for medical device packaging, Tyvek pouches, and healthcare product protection validation.
R&D & New Materials
Development testing for new barrier formulations, coating optimization, and packaging material qualification programs.
Being able to build a relationship with Industrial Physics and leverage their expertise in packaging barriers was critical to the success of this programme. The AquaSense 7101 helped us validate our biodegradable polymer barriers with confidence.
The Cost of Inadequate Testing
Why quality managers at Reliance, ITC, and UFLEX choose Systech P2O5 coulometric WVTR over MOCON infrared alternatives
Pharmaceutical blister packs with barrier failures cost Indian drug manufacturers ₹50-150 crores annually in recalls. Systech AquaSense 7101 detects moisture ingress down to 0.002 g/m²/day—10x more sensitive than MOCON PERMATRAN-W 1/50 and MOCON AQUATRAN 3 infrared sensors.
Food packaging failures from inadequate WVTR testing result in ₹200-500 crores in spoilage losses annually. While GBPI W303 gravimetric methods require 24-48 hours, Systech delivers results in under 4 hours with 0.001 g/m²/day resolution vs Labthink W3/330's 0.01 limit.
Electronics and solar encapsulants failing WVTR specs cause ₹100+ crore warranty claims. Unlike Labthink W3/060, GBPI W401, and MOCON PERMATRAN-W 3/34 requiring annual calibration, Systech P2O5 coulometric technology needs zero calibration—NIST traceable from day one.
