Proper testing of packaging systems for medical device, pharmaceuticals, and food products helps to ensure safety, shelf-life, and endurance of the packaging.
Our scientists can work with you in the following areas:
- Oxygen Content in Packaging
- Accelerated Aging on Packaging
- Extractables and Leachables from Packaging
- Mechanical Testing of Packaging
- Water Vapor Transmission Testing
- Migration Testing in Food Packaging
Oxygen Content in Your Packaging
Manufacturers of medical devices and food products often use packaging with a reduced oxygen level to minimize oxidation of the product and increase shelf-life. Determination of the oxygen level in the packaging is a useful way to determine the efficacy of the packaging process, and to monitor the packaging integrity over time.
Accelerated Aging Testing On Your Packaging
- Accelerated aging on packaging
Extractables and Leachables In Your Packaging
