Versaperm has announced that its permeability meter can measure vapour contaminants in medical and pharmaceutical packaging.
The company said its permeability meter can measure vapour directly in one per cent of the time needed for conventional (gravimetric) measurements.
The permeability meter can measure to an accuracy of parts per million, and even parts per billion with some gases and materials.
It can be configured to measure the permeability of most gases, including water vapour, hydrogen, helium, hydrocarbons, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide.
The meter can be used on a range of materials and enclosures, including capsules, foil laminates, blister packaging, inhalers, syringes and analytical instrument enclosures.
It can also provide measurements of substances that may otherwise be decomposed by normal measurement techniques.
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.
