Our Empirical and Calibration Lab Works For You

Just as important as the quality products we offer, our staff of exuberant and talented individuals can guide you through your project.

At Van der Stähl Scientific we have a basic philosophy: If you're in the business of providing machinery that seals sterile packs, you need to have a solid understanding of the integrity of the seal your machine creates. Enter the Van der Stähl Scientific Package Integrity Lab. With an intense interest to provide our customers with exceptional customer care, we have invested tens of thousands of dollars to create this full service sterile package integrity lab. This state of the art lab allows us to evaluate the pouches and bags that our machinery seals to better understand the total value of the seals that our machines produce.

Our laboratory and trained technicians are able to scrutinize sterile packs through a variety of seal strength challenges. Some of these evaluation machines have actually been invented and built by our Sterile Packaging Group. The efficaciousness of our seal packaging inspection tools are so unique we were granted a patent in September, 2007 on our technology. Our laboratory can perform a variety of tests such as burst testing, peel analysis, and dye penetration studies and will do so with precise resolution. All the data collected during these robust seal integrity studies are extrapolated via our computer interface systems that allow us to provide comprehensive real time data logging with NIST traceable equipment.

Your IQ starts with machinery designed to meet the rigors of the new sterile barrier system requirements. Speak with technical support about our IQ pack and how it can help you at the threshold of your sterile device packaging program. It's important not to discount the weight of a solid IQ under the ISO 11607. Qualified machinery supported by regulatory girth equals a solid sterile device packaging program.

Medical Pouch Performance Testing

Get the facts on peel strength from our state of the industry packaging lab.

Under the new sterile barrier requirements, medical device packages need more rigorous packaging test evaluations. We can utilize a variety of testing methodologies to best suit your unique film.

Van der Stahl Scientific has even patented new technologies in order to help our medical device customers maintain compliance. This past year, we completed our desktop packaging lab, the PTT-100V so that our customers can carry out packaging performance testing right in their cleanroom with the same accuracy and results that we acheive in our lab.
