A moisture vapour transmission meter and vapour permeability laboratory testing service have been introduced by Versaperm to help drug and medical companies measure contamination levels in products.
The meter can measure to an accuracy of better than one part per million and is said to be around 100 times faster than conventional gravimetric techniques.
It can be configured to measure the permeability of most other gases, including hydrogen, helium, hydrocarbons, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon.
It can be used on huge range of medical, laboratory, drug and QC materials or enclosures - from foil laminates to inhalers and from analytical instrument enclosures and seals through to packaging. It can also provide measurements of substances that might otherwise be decomposed by normal water content measuring techniques.
Sensitivities are in the PPM (parts per million) or PPB (parts per billion) range depending on the gas. As well as manufacturing the instruments, Versaperm offers a water vapour permeability laboratory service for companies that need to test samples on an irregular basis.
