Barrier performance and fluid resistance
Cytotoxicity and biocompatibility screening
Package integrity and seal strength
Method
How the analysis runs
Instrumentation and controls
Every batch runs with the controls its method requires, on calibrated equipment, and a second analyst reviews the data before the report is released.
Standards and methods

Questions we get asked
Do you do full ISO 10993 biocompatibility?
We cover cytotoxicity and the screening battery in house and coordinate the remaining animal-based endpoints through partner laboratories.
How many units do you need per test?
Twenty per test group is the usual requirement. Sterility and biocompatibility need their own units and cannot share with mechanical testing.
Can you test a device already in the market?
Yes. Retail or hospital stock is acceptable provided the packaging is intact and the batch is traceable.
Is ethylene oxide residue testing always needed?
Only where the device is EO sterilised. For gamma or steam sterilised products it does not apply.
