Packaging Testing & Analysis

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

• Measure leachables and extractables from the packaging

Mechanical Testing of Packaging

• Mechanical testing of packaging

Water Vapor Transmission Testing

• Water vapor transmission testing

Migration Testing In Food Packaging 

• Food contact migration testing per EU No.10/2011

Relevant Packaging Testing Standards

• ASTM F1980 Standard guide for accelerated aging of sterile barrier systems for medical devices
• ASTM F2097 Standard guide for design and evaluation of primary flexible packaging for medical products
• USP <1663> Assessment of Extractables Associated with Pharmaceutical Packaging/Delivery Systems
• USP <1664> Assessment of Drug Product Leachables Associated with Pharmaceutical Packaging Delivery Systems
• EU No. 10/2011 Commission Regulation on Plastic Materials and Articles Intended to Come into Contact with Food
