Key Quality Assurance Testing Parameters for Ampoule Bottles

Ampoule bottles, a common packaging solution for pharmaceuticals, demand stringent quality control to maintain product integrity and safety.

Key testing parameters for ampoule bottles commonly include breaking strength determination and headspace gas analysis.

Breaking Strength Determination

Breaking Strength is generally the tensile or compressive load required to fracture or to cause the sample to fail. For an ampoule bottles test, the max force of the bottles breaking is the break strength.

C610M Auto Tensile Tester is professionally applicable to measurement of tensile, peeling, deformation, tearing, heat sealing, adhesive, puncture force, opening force, pulling force and low speed unwrapping force as well as other properties of plastic films, composite materials, soft package materials, plastic flexible tube, adhesives, adhesive tapes, label stickers, medical plasters, release paper, protective films, combined caps, aluminum foils, diaphragms, back sheets, non-woven fabrics, rubber and paper, etc.

Headspace Gas Analysis

This test measures the oxygen and carbon dioxide in sealed package. By controlling the gas composition within the ampoule, manufacturers can significantly extend product lifespan and maintain quality.

Labthink C650M Headspace Gas Analyzer is featured with handheld design and equipped with high precision sensors and air pump supplied by globally well-known manufacturers. It can provide accurate and fast evaluation of the volume of oxygen and carbon dioxide (with optional CO2 sensor) in sealed packages, bottles and cans, etc. Because of its portable design, the instrument can be used to measure the volume and proportion of oxygen and carbon dioxide on production lines, in warehouses or in laboratories, to serve as a guide for production.

By combining breaking force determination and headspace gas analysis, manufacturers can ensure the quality, safety, and efficacy of pharmaceutical products packaged in ampoule bottles.

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...
