The Centre for Surface and Materials Analysis (CSMA), based in Stoke-on-Trent, will be exhibiting at this year's (2006) Medtec Ireland
Visitors to the exhibition, being held from 20-21 September 2006 at the Radisson SAS hotel in Galway, will be able to learn about the range of analytical services that CSMA offers the medical industry, including the development and delivery of novel and routine test and characterisation methods.
In particular, CSMA will be showcasing its cleanliness validation system (Validata) which is aimed at existing processes, new products and products still in research.
The technology can be applied to novel surfaces and materials such as Bio-Polymers, in determining the degree of functionalisation of surface chemistries vital in the performance of Bio-Arrays, and wound treatment products.
Receiving a Validata certification can assist in gaining regulatory approval, process control and in the development of orthopaedic implants, implantable devices and other invasive devices/materials.
