Designed to meet rigorous testing standards for orally inhaled and nasal drug products (OINDPs), SprayVIEW® Measurement Systems are the industry standard for measuring and analyzing the spray pattern and plume geometry produced by spray and aerosol generating devices.

The 6MBA is the basic model offered within the Ray-Ran Range of Melt Flow Indexers. The manually operated test procedure is very simple to undertake. Molten Polymer is extruded through a closely controlled orifice (die) from the apparatus using pre set conditions of temperature and pressure produced by a dead weight system. The extruded polymer is cut off manually and is then weighed. Using the time interval to extrude the polymer its flow rate over 10 minutes can easily be determined, thus giving the Melt Flow Index (MFI) or Melt Mass Flow Rate (MFR) in g/10 min. By conducting a simple Density Test at test temperature on the same material using the same pre set conditions and a known piston travel distance the Melt Volume Rate (MVR) can also be determined.

The Auto Density Gradient Apparatus from Ray-Ran has become the world’s benchmark for accurate density measurement of small solid specimens using the column method. Offered as a 3 or 6 column version, the built-in on-board Microprocessor System accurately calculates the specimen’s density more quickly and more accurately by using the latest linear encoder technology that measures the samples position in the column relative to the calibrated glass marker floats. Once the correct position of the sample is recorded the density is displayed on the LCD screen.

The Sartocheck^® 5 Plus perfectly meets today’s key industry requirements for filter integrity testing in demanding GMP environments. By combining a unique approach to Quality Risk Management, with optimal data integrity, intuitive usability and minimized risk factors for Health, Safety and Environment (HSE), it sets a new standard for filter integrity testing devices.

The TME BT Integra-Pack© is a bench-top, highresolution (0.001 psig) test instrument with a small footprint and user-friendly ease of operation. Electronic pressure and flow controls provide precise and repeatable test conditions, while automatic and high flow output allow testing of large porous packages. Applications cover a range of flexible or rigid, porous and non-porous, open or sealed packages.

Virtually every aspect of a rubber material’s processing and performance characteristics is influenced by its rheological properties. TA Instruments provides a complete range of rotorless shear rheometers and curemeters to help you optimize processing, curing, and application performance.

The Digital Ink Rub Tester uses the Sutherland-method and is designed to measure scuffing or ink rub resistance. Several tests can be performed including dry rub (the amount of transfer ink from one dry surface to another), wet rub (the amount of transfer of ink from wetted surface to another), wet bleed or transfer (ink transfer to a water-saturated blotter), wet smear (similar to wet bleed with the addition or rub cycles), functional rub/wet rub (smear or transfer tests using a liquid other than water and hot abrasion).
