Systech 8700/8701 OxySense®
OTR Analyzer for PET Bottles, Sparkling Drinks & High-Barrier Packaging
One wrong bottle, closure, coating or supplier decision can cost far more than the test that would have stopped it.
Measure oxygen before the market measures your mistake.
Used by KHS worldwide for PET bottle programs, the 8700/8701 helps teams release bottles, closures, coatings and complete packages with evidence instead of hope.
Coulometric OTR Measurement for Bottle Decisions Where Guesswork Is Expensive
For PET bottles, carbonated beverages and high-barrier packaging, a small oxygen leak can become a shelf-life failure. The Systech 8700/8701 OxySense® gives Indian labs absolute oxygen measurement, low-level sensitivity and scalable throughput for production QA, R&D and supplier qualification.
Compromise OTR Workflows
- Narrow range forces method changes across bottles, films and complete packs
- Low-level barrier readings take longer and create decision delays
- More operator-dependent validation and setup increases operating burden
- Weak confidence for ultra-low OTR PET, coatings and oxygen-sensitive packs
Systech 8700/8701 OxySense®
- Ultra-wide range: 0.0004 to 2,000 cc/pkg-day
- Bottle-ready OTR workflow for PET, closure and complete package studies
- ASTM, ISO, DIN and JIS method support with documented calibration routes
- Up to 11 simultaneous samples, expandable to 66 test cells
- Auto-Stop at equilibrium for faster lab decisions and better productivity
Systech 8700/8701 vs MOCON OX-TRAN 2/61 Six-Cell Unit
If your team is comparing the MOCON six-station oxygen permeation unit, keep the decision practical: PET bottle fit, package range, gas workflow, throughput, expansion and local application support. Station count is only one part of the buying decision.

Useful for carbonated soft drinks, sparkling water, beer-style beverages, juices and oxygen-sensitive formulations.
Move beyond supplier promises and compare the actual bottle or package that will reach the market.
Faster decisions for launches, complaint investigations, supplier audits and shelf-life improvement programs.
The OTR System Behind Serious Global Packaging Decisions
From beverage bottle lines to flexible packaging, pharma and material science labs, the 8700/8701 platform is built for teams that need defendable oxygen barrier data before they commit production money.
Built for Sparkling Drink PET Bottle OTR Decisions
Carbonated beverage packs are unforgiving: oxygen ingress, closure leakage, coating inconsistency and material changes can quietly damage taste, shelf life and brand confidence. This is where a bottle-capable OTR analyzer earns its place.
Turn OTR Testing Into Decisions Your QA, R&D and Customers Can Trust
The system is not only an analyzer. It is a data workflow for repeatable bottle and package testing, with live graphs, method recall, secure records and optional compliance tools for regulated environments.
Real-Time OTR Graphing
Watch oxygen transmission trends develop during the test so teams can understand stability, equilibrium and outlier behavior.
Auto-Stop at Equilibrium
Automatically stop tests when equilibrium is reached, helping busy labs improve turnaround without weakening confidence.
Searchable Test Records
Track, search, sort and store results for supplier comparisons, complaint investigations and long-term barrier studies.
Method Recall
Recall saved PET bottle, film and package test parameters to reduce operator variation and speed up repeat work.
Low Running Cost Workflow
Official literature states no special gas mixtures are required; industrial-grade nitrogen is all the system needs for operation.
Complete System Diagnostics
Built-in diagnostic tools for system health monitoring and troubleshooting assistance.
Systech 8700/8701 OxySense® Specifications Buyers Should Compare
Use these figures to compare the 8700/8701 against other oxygen transmission rate analyzers, outside lab testing and legacy package OTR workflows.

Where the 8700/8701 Creates Commercial Advantage
Use this system when OTR is not just a lab number, but a launch decision, supplier decision, shelf-life decision or customer claim that must survive technical scrutiny.

Do Not Buy an OTR Analyzer by Brochure Specs Alone
The right purchase starts with your sample, your standard, your commercial risk and the number of decisions the lab must make every week. FITCO helps you map that before quoting a configuration.
Define the Package Question
PET bottle, closure, film, pouch, coated laminate or complete package: the sample format decides the method and fixture path.
Match Range and Throughput
Choose the sensitivity and cell count around real production volume, not around a one-time demo sample.
Build the Business Case
Use internal OTR data to reduce launch risk, improve suppliers, protect shelf life and justify the system commercially.
For PET bottle programs, the question is not whether oxygen transmission can be measured. The question is whether the lab can trust the number early enough to protect a commercial launch. The Systech 8700/8701 OxySense® is built for that level of decision.
Bad Oxygen Barrier Data Can Cost More Than the Instrument
For Indian manufacturers selling into demanding brands, exports and high-volume beverage accounts, OTR is not a routine lab test. It is a margin, complaint, recall and launch-risk control point.
A bottle that passes appearance checks can still fail shelf-life expectations if oxygen ingress is not understood. Systech 8700/8701 OxySense® measures down to 0.0004 cc/pkg-day for demanding barrier decisions.
Outsourced OTR reports are useful, but slow decisions can delay launches and supplier corrections. Systech 8700/8701 OxySense® helps build internal oxygen barrier capability for repeatable, timely decisions.
Choosing only by price can create a weak system fit. Systech 8700/8701 OxySense® gives the range, workflow and expansion path needed when OTR becomes a core quality metric.
