Barrier Property Testing:
Water Vapor Transmission Rate (WVTR): This measures the amount of water vapor passing through the packaging material. It's crucial for preventing moisture-sensitive pharmaceuticals from degradation.
Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR): While less critical for many pharmaceuticals, OTR testing is essential for oxygen-sensitive drugs.
Organic Gas Transmission Rate (OGTR): This measures the permeability of the packaging to organic compounds, which can affect drug stability.
Labthink C406H Oxygen /Water Vapor Transmission Rate Test System is based on the testing principle of Coulometric oxygen sensor and infrared water vapor sensor. It is designed and manufactured according to ASTM D3985、ASTM F1249，ISO 15106-2 and other relevant standards to provide high precision and high efficiency oxygen and water vapor transmission rate tests for high and medium gas barrier materials. It is suitable for testing the oxygen and water vapor transmission performance of films, sheets and related materials in the fields of food, medicine, medical devices, daily chemicals, photovoltaic, electronic and many others.
Other Essential Tests for pharmaceutical product packaging includes Seal Integrity test, which ensures the package's seals are strong and prevent contaminants from entering; Mechanical Strength tests such as impact resistance, tear resistance and tensile strength, for the packaging must withstand transportation and handling without damage.
By conducting comprehensive testing, pharmaceutical manufacturers can select the optimal packaging materials and processes to protect drug quality and patient safety.
As the demand for functional packaging materials grows, testing methods are evolving to ensure a more comprehensive evaluation of packaging films. Labthink encourages collaboration with packaging industry companies for quality control! Visit the website www.labthink.com to learn more!
