We understand that food and healthcare manufacturers and retailers require quality multi-layer polymer laminates for their brands in order to protect the contents and their customers. Each layer has a particular function to fulfil, for example the internal plastic layer must be appropriate to be in ...
A common QC test in plastic production is the analysis of residual monomers in the final polymer material. This analysis is well suited for headspace sampling because headspace eliminates the sample preparation. The sample is analyzed directly with no need to dissolve the polymer. Multiple headspace ...
Dynamic Mechanical Analysis (DMA) is a technique used to investigate the stiffness of materials as a function of temperature, humidity, dissolution media or frequency. A mechanical stress is applied to a film sample or coated polymer or other material sample and the resultant strain is measured by t ...
Detecting and monitoring the presence of impurities within the packaging material is vital for a safe and compliant route to market. Perform in-depth analysis on additives and emissions, get to the root of packaging failures and detect the presence of contaminants.
The increasing quantity of recyclable materials is creating challenges for the recycling industry, as it is crucial that materials used both in the production of products and in the recycling process be consistent and free of impurities and contaminants. In this application note, a method for the an ...
The solvents in the inks used to print flexible packaging may represent a possible source of food contamination and therefore must be controlled for quality and consumer safety. For the determination of residual solvents from printed materials, it is highly recommended that an analytical method such ...
Plastic bags are widely used in food packaging due to cost and flexibility, for example breakfast items such as hot steamed buns, oil cake and soybean milk are typically packaged in plastic. Leftovers, supermarket cooked food and even beer, are also packaged with plastic bags. Plastic packaging is v ...

By providing you with a comprehensive solution, combining the right instrumentation, consumables accessories and reagents, we ensure QA/QC laboratories can meet stringent food and pharmaceutical regulations for the quality of primary packaging from plastic materials;
Packaging is defined as a means of providing protection, identification, and containment of a product during storage and transport until it is consumed. The pharmaceutical packaging industry has an estimated value of $68.7 billion, and when it comes to their packaging quality, it is essential that s ...
Extractables and leachables studies are critical for maintaining the quality of your drug product and complying with GMP regulations during drug development and final batch release. Exposure to extractables and leachables could have a detrimental impact on the safety and efficacy of a final drug pro ...
All medicinal products need to be protected and packaged in containers which conform to prescribed standards. The quality of pharmaceutical packaging can have a significant impact on the performance of pharmaceutical products and can reduce shelf-life if the improper packaging is used. The USP chapt ...
