Pharmaceutical Industry

Optimise the design and production of your pharmaceutical products.

Manufacture your pharmaceutical packaging to a consistently superior quality and maintain end-user safety and usability.

Conform to industry standards and achieve regulatory compliance e.g. ASTM, EN, FDA, ISO.

Our test solutions for pharmaceutical testing applications include:

• Actuation force testing of metered dose inhalers and pen injectors
• Adhesive / peel strength testing of:
  • Aluminium foil seals
  • Seals on sterile packaging
  • Transdermal patches
• Compression testing of tablets and capsules to measure characteristics e.g.
  • Breaking
  • Coating strength
  • Crumbling
  • Hardness
  • Powdering
• Gel strength and gel rupture testing
• "Press-out" force of blister packs
• Simultaneous measurement of compression force and torque, "push and twist" or "squeeze and twist" action on child-resistant closures
• Testing the "pull-off" force of phial caps
• Torque testing of:
  • Caps on drug delivery devices
  • Child-resistant closures
  • Tamper-evident closures
