Advanced Testing Solutions for IV Bag Manufacturers

The transition from glass to polymer-based IV bags has brought significant advancements, but it has also introduced new challenges in quality control. Critical to the safety and efficacy of these medical devices is rigorous testing of the packaging materials.

One key aspect is evaluating the film's barrier properties. Labthink C130H Gas Permeability Tester and C360H Water Vapor Transmission Rate Tester are crucial tools for measuring air and moisture permeability. These instruments ensure that the bag effectively protects the IV fluid from contamination.

 
Labthink C130H Gas Permeability Tester is based on the differential pressure method, and is professionally applicable to the determination of gas transmission rate, solubility coefficient, diffusion coefficient and permeability coefficient of plastic films, composite films, high barrier materials, sheets, and metal foils at different temperatures.

 
Labthink C360H Water Vapor Transmission Rate Test System is designed and manufactured based on the gravimetric determination method and conforms to the requirements of ASTM E96. It is equipped with precision made test dishes, highly accurate balance, embedded professional software which supports automatic controlling of temperature, humidity and flow rate precisely and guarantees the testing sensitivity and repeatability of the test results.

Mechanical properties of the film are equally important. Labthink C610H Auto Tensile Tester assesses tensile strength, elongation, and seal integrity, ensuring the bag's durability and resistance to punctures.

To guarantee the sterility of the contents, seal integrity is paramount. Labthink C660B seal and leak tester verifies the bag's airtightness, preventing potential contamination.

Finally, precise thickness control is essential for consistent barrier performance. Labthink C640 Thickness Tester, capable of measuring to 0.1um, ensures the film's thickness adheres to stringent standards.

Through these comprehensive testing procedures and advanced instrumentation, manufacturers can maintain the highest quality standards for IV bag packaging, safeguarding patient safety and medication efficacy.

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!
