Ensuring Optimal Wound Healing Dressings Through Accurate MVTR Testing

The efficacy of modern wound dressings hinges on their ability to create a microenvironment conducive to tissue repair. A critical parameter in achieving this is the Moisture Vapor Transmission Rate (MVTR).


Labthink C306H, a cutting-edge moisture vapor transmission tester, provides a precise solution for evaluating wound dressings. This instrument accurately determines the rate at which moisture passes through the dressing, ensuring it maintains the optimal moist, slightly acidic, and low-oxygen conditions necessary for wound healing.

Key features of the Labthink C306H:
  • žHigh precision: Advanced load cell technology enhances accuracy, leading to reliable test results.
  • žEfficiency: Shortened testing time due to rapid permeation balance detection and six independent test chambers.
  • žAutomation: Computer-controlled weighing eliminates manual intervention, ensuring consistent and unbiased results.
  • žVersatility: Suitable for testing various materials, including high-resistance materials like aluminum foil.



Labthink C306H Water Vapor Transmission Rate Test System is designed and manufactured based on infrared sensor method and conforms to the requirements of ASTM F1249 and ISO 15106-2. This instrument can be used to measure the water vapor transmission rate of barrier materials with high and medium moisture barrier properties with a wide testing range and high testing efficiency. C306H is applicable to determination of water vapor permeability of plastic films, sheeting, paper, packages and other relative packaging materials in food, pharmaceutical, medical apparatus, consumer goods, photovoltaic and electronic industries, etc.

By rigorously testing MVTR and other crucial parameters such as gas permeability, mechanical strength, and biocompatibility, manufacturers can develop wound dressings that effectively promote healing and minimize infection risk. Labthink C306H is a valuable tool in achieving this goal, contributing to the development of superior wound care products.

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!

Quality Requirements of Lithium Ion Battery Separators

Business Challenge Lithium-ion batteries have one of the best energy-to-weight ratios, no memory effect, and a slow loss of charge when not in use. This makes them one of the most popular types of batteries for portable consumer electronics in today’s marketplace. Lithium-ion batteries can be found in cameras, laptops, power tools, toys and more. However, as recent well-publicized recalls demonstrate, they can pose a risk of fire and overheating. In addition, they can suffer from a reduced lifespan if not properly treated. As a result, new and stricter requirements are being implemented globally to address potential hazards, leaving manufacturers and purchasers of products containing lithium-ion batteries to meet increasing requirements and overcome safety concerns. Lithium Ion Battery Separators A Lithium Ion battery Separator is a permeable membrane placed between the anode and cathode of a battery. The main function of a separator is to keep the positive and negative electr...

Comparative Analysis of Aluminum-Coated VMPET and VMBOPP Oxygen Transmission Properties

Aluminum-coated films offer a cost-effective alternative to pure aluminum foil for packaging applications requiring good barrier properties. However, the effectiveness of these films can vary depending on the substrate material used. This study investigates the Oxygen Transmission Rate (OTR) of VMPET (vapor-deposited aluminum on PET) and VMBOPP (vapor-deposited aluminum on BOPP) to assess the influence of the substrate on barrier performance. The OTR test employed the coulometric method (equal pressure) following the standard ASTM D3985. This method utilizes a controlled environment chamber to measure the rate of oxygen permeation through the film sample. Labthink C230H Oxygen Transmission Rate Test System was used for this study. This instrument is designed and manufactured based on the coulometric sensor method (aka. equal pressure method) and conforms to ASTM D3985. This instrument can be used to measure the oxygen transmission rate of barrier materials with high and medium barrier ...

Introducing Vacuum Decay Testing Method for Pharmaceutical Packaging Integrity

Maintaining the integrity of pharmaceutical packaging is fundamentally essential for safeguarding product efficacy and patient safety, and vacuum decay testing stands as a highly reliable non-destructive method for verifying this integrity. This technique, particularly effective for blister packs, vials, and pre-filled syringes, identifies leaks without compromising product sterility or efficacy. Vacuum decay testing leverages the principle that a sealed package, when subjected to a vacuum, will exhibit predictable pressure changes if it's leak-free. Conversely, a leaking package will show a different pressure profile. Specific Vacuum Decay Techniques:   Differential Pressure Transducers: These precise sensors measure the difference in pressure between the vacuum chamber and a reference chamber. This allows for detection of very small leaks. Absolute Pressure Sensors: These sensors measure the absolute pressure within the vacuum chamber, providing data to determine the rate of pres...
