[Request a recommendation →](https://flexitest.in/connect/) Introduction ## A single instrument for complete barrier analysis **Medford, MA USA, 27th November 2023** - Labthink, a global leader in testing and analysis instrumentation, has announced the launch of the **C406H Combination OTR and WVTR Tester** - a significant advancement in permeation testing that offers unparalleled accuracy, efficiency, and versatility. The Labthink [C406H](https://flexitest.in/packaging-testing-equipments/permeability-testing-instruments/combo-tester-6-cells-c406h/) is designed to meet the evolving needs of industries such as food and beverage packaging, pharmaceuticals, electronics, and materials research. By seamlessly integrating both OTR and WVTR testing capabilities into a single platform, this tester streamlines the permeation testing process - allowing for the measurement of oxygen and water vapour transmission rates within one dual-purpose instrument. ![Labthink C406H OTR WVTR combination permeability tester - Flexitest India](https:// flexitest.in/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/C406H-OTR-WVTR-Packaging-Product-banner- new-2048x796-1-1024x398.webp "Labthink Introduces Cutting-Edge C406H: A Revolutionary Combination OTR and WVTR Tester 23") Labthink C406H - 6-cell OTR + WVTR Combination Tester  ·  Available from Flexitest India This comprehensive approach enables manufacturers to gain a **holistic understanding of their materials' barrier properties**, ensuring the production of high-quality and durable products. Key Features ## What makes the C406H different The C406H brings together five capabilities that were previously only available across multiple separate instruments: 🔬 Dual Testing Capabilities Conduct OTR and WVTR tests independently or sequentially - providing flexibility in experimental design and a more comprehensive analysis of barrier performance in a single run. ⚡ Advanced Sensor Technology Equipped with cutting-edge sensors, the C406H ensures precise and reliable measurement of transmission rates, even for ultra-thin or highly permeable materials. 🖥️ User-Friendly Interface The intuitive touch-screen interface simplifies operation and data interpretation, making it accessible to both seasoned professionals and those new to permeation testing. 🚀 High Throughput With 6 test cells delivering 6 simultaneous results, the C406H enables high throughput testing - allowing manufacturers to optimise production processes and bring products to market faster. 📋 International Standards Compliance Meets and exceeds ASTM D3985, ISO 15105-2, ASTM F1249, ISO 15106-2, DIN 53380-3 - ensuring results are accurate, reproducible, and accepted by global customers and auditors. 🌡️ Precise Temperature Control Standard range 15–50°C ±0.15°C with optional 5–60°C configuration. Humidity control from 0% to 100% RH for complete test condition flexibility. CEO Statement ## Labthink International on the C406H launch > By combining OTR and WVTR testing capabilities in a single instrument, we are > empowering manufacturers to gain a deeper understanding of their materials' barrier > performance, ultimately enhancing product quality and reliability. - **Craig Primiani**, CEO, Labthink International The C406H represents Labthink's commitment to consolidating complex barrier testing workflows. For packaging labs in India handling pharmaceutical blisters, flexible food packaging, and multilayer laminates, the ability to test OTR and WVTR on the same specimen set - without reconfiguring equipment - translates directly into faster qualification cycles and reduced laboratory costs. The Labthink C406H is available for purchase in India through **Flexitest** - authorised Labthink distributor. Full installation, calibration, and application support included.
