Pharmaceuticals

The pharmaceutical industry is highly regulated, with adherence to global standards being the key to the safety, effectiveness, and performance of a drug. Mechanical reliability of products, packaging, and medical devices is an important aspect that needs to be ensured at every production phase.

Medical Devices

The most recent systems of drug delivery are also based on innovative technologies, including self-controllable dosing and nano-controllable machines, to focus on certain areas of therapy. The success of the therapy usually relies on the mechanical integrity of such devices, but it also gives importance to the convenience of their use and the comfort of patients.

The most important testing is the frictional glide of pre-filled syringes, the insertion and connection force of catheter assemblies, and the sharpness and penetration characteristics of cannulae. The tensile, compression, and torque tests among these parts of the cabin guarantee functionality and safety.

Pharmaceutical Packaging

Pharmaceutical packaging plays not only the role of holding the product but also contributes to dispensing and preserving the drug during the shelf life. The packaging has to provide a balance between protection, accessibility, and regulation.

The use of push-out forces when testing a tablet in blister packs of tablets is to ensure safety in children and ease of use for adults. The ability to test the screw caps used by the child makes the screw capacity of the screw top assurable yet applicable to the aged or weak patients. Tube seam integrity tests and peel-strength tests of the transdermal patch packaging ensure that the product will be intact and sterile under a normal handling procedure.

Pharmaceutical Products

The development of tablet formation depends on the compaction of powders into solid dosages, in which mechanical strength is directly proportional to disintegration, dissolution, and friability. Compression tests would give an idea of how the structuring of the tablet would hold under storing, transportation, and handling conditions. The output of these results aids the manufacturers in fine-tuning the production in order to have consistent quality.

Wherever you are, a pharmaceutical manufacturer or a supplier with components, sub-assemblies, or packaging, you will have a reputation to keep to the industry standards, internal designs, and what the customer anticipates at any given stage.

Presto offers force, materials, and torque testing systems, which are feasible and tested solutions for quality control in the pharmaceutical industry. Our equipment can maintain the IQ/OQ/PQ protocols, FDA 21 CFR Part 11 standards, and other international standards, such as the ASTM, ISO, EN, DIN, and pharmacopoeial norms, over decades of experience.

The major pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and medical device manufacturers all over the world are relying on our solutions to provide accurate, reproducible, and government-regulated testing.
