ISO 9626 Stainless Steel Needle Tubing Test ISO 9626 specifies the requirements and test methods for stainless steel needle tubing used in the manufacture of medical devices such as hypodermic needles and cannulas. This international standard ensures that the tubing used in medical applications meets consistent performance and safety requirements. Two key tests under ISO 9626 are the stiffness of tubing test and the resistance of tubing to breakage test, which are essential to assess the mechanical integrity and durability of stainless steel tubing. What is ISO 9626? The ISO 9626 standard, full title “Stainless steel needle tubing for the manufacture of medical devices — Requirements and test methods”, applies […]

System suitability testing pharmacopoeia is a cornerstone of pharmaceutical quality assurance. When dealing with injectable drugs packaged in glass ampoules, international standards such as ISO 9187 establish strict criteria for hydrolytic resistance, annealing quality, and breaking force. By following these procedures, manufacturers not only meet regulatory expectations but also safeguard patient safety and product reliability. Importance of System Suitability Testing Pharmacopoeia The purpose of system suitability testing pharmacopoeia is to verify that analytical methods and packaging components perform consistently as intended. For glass ampoules, this means proving that the container can preserve sterility, withstand sterilization, and break cleanly at a designed point. Failure in ampoule performance can lead to serious

Package Compression Test The package compression test is a vital method used across packaging, pharmaceutical, and medical industries to evaluate the structural integrity of packaging materials. This test simulates real-world pressure conditions that packaging may encounter during transportation, stacking, or handling. It ensures that packaging does not rupture, deform, or fail under load—helping protect contents like medicines, food, or medical fluids. At Cell Instruments, we understand that packaging performance isn’t just about appearance—it’s about strength, compliance, and safety. Our PCT-01 Package Compression Tester is purpose-built for high-precision, standard-compliant compression testing across diverse applications. Test Standards and Industry Applications TAPPI T804 and Other  Standards The TAPPI T804 standard is widely adopted

Introduction to Sodium Chloride Ampoules Sodium chloride ampoule is a widely used packaging format in the pharmaceutical industry, commonly serving injectable solutions for clinical and hospital use. These ampoules must meet strict safety and quality standards to ensure sterile conditions and break integrity. One of the essential performance indicators is the breaking force, which determines the ease and safety of ampoule opening during medical procedures.This article outlines the standardized testing process for sodium chloride ampoules based on ISO 9187-1:2010, focusing on the practical use of a break force tester machine to ensure conformity, product safety, and operational efficiency. The information is particularly useful for quality control professionals, manufacturers, and validation

This article explores the significance of this test, highlighting related concepts like plastic film packaging compression performance, packaging integrity testing, and composite film bag finished product packaging compression test. We also introduce advanced testing solutions such as the Cell Instruments PCT-01 package compression tester to help quality professionals achieve reliable results. Why the Plastic Infusion Bottle Compression Test Matters Plastic infusion bottles must maintain their structural integrity

Break Loose and Glide Force Testing: A Key Indicator of Syringe Performance In the pharmaceutical and medical device industries, break loose and glide force testing is a critical procedure used to evaluate the usability and quality of syringes. These tests determine how much force is required to start (break loose) and continue (glide) the movement of the plunger within the syringe barrel. The results directly impact product compliance, injection comfort, and patient safety. This testing method is especially vital for manufacturers developing prefilled syringes, sterile subassemblies, and auto-injector components. An overly tight or loose plunger can lead to dosing errors, plunger detachment, or inconsistent medication flow—all of which pose safety

Download Catalog In the quality assurance of medical syringes, glide force testing plays a pivotal role in assessing the smoothness and reliability of piston movement. It directly impacts user safety, comfort, and product compliance with critical international standards. This article explores the essentials of glide force testing, including related parameters like break loose force, and how standards such as ISO 11040-4, ISO 7886-1, and ISO 8537 guide the testing process.
