When replacing a resin with a product from a new vendor or a different formulation, it is crucial to conduct thorough testing to establish the equivalency of the new resin. This minimizes risk and ensures that the new material meets the required performance standards. Our experts provide detailed analysis and testing to confirm that the substitute resin

In additive manufacturing, selecting suitable materials is paramount. Manufacturers must consider the mechanical properties of these materials, assess residual feedstock, and evaluate the age-related changes in reused feedstock. Our team offers comprehensive support in material selection, mechanical property assessment, and feedstock management to ensure optimal performance and longevity

With increased regulatory scrutiny, it is no longer sufficient to rely solely on certificates of compliance from raw material suppliers. Manufacturers must conduct independent testing of incoming raw materials to verify their quality and compliance. Our state-of-the-art testing facilities and expert scientists provide thorough raw material testing services, ensuring that your
materials meet regulatory and quality standards.

Residual solvents from manufacturing or cleaning processes can significantly impact the final properties of polymeric devices, including their biocompatibility and shelf-life. Testing for residual solvents is essential to validate manufacturing processes, raw materials, and cleaning operations. Our advanced analytical techniques enable precise detection and quantification of residual solvents, helping you maintain product safety and compliance

Polymeric devices can fail during manufacturing or in the field, and identifying the root cause of these failures is critical. Understanding how polymers respond to temperature, shear, chemicals, loads, and other environmental conditions is essential for pinpointing the manufacturing steps that led to failure. Our experts conduct comprehensive root cause analyses to identify these factors and recommend modifications to the
manufacturing process,
establishing acceptable
ranges of conditions to
prevent future failures.

Improving themanufacturing of polymeric devices can lead to reduced waste, enhanced product quality, increased manufacturing speed, fewer failures, and lower costs. By exploring alternative manufacturing
processes and implementing changes in product design or materials, manufacturers can boost profits and
expand market potential. Our polymer engineers provide insights into the unique behavior of polymeric materials, identifying areas for improvement and conducting risk assessments to ensure successful implementation of changes.

Packaging studies often involve testing the barrier properties (water, oxygen) and the aging behavior of the devices in the packaging (real time, accelerated aging).
