Autoclavable PP Blisters With Filled Disposable Syringes
12/16/2016
At the end of the packaging process, the packaged syringes should meet the requirements for sterile devices in the operating room. Therefore, the finished blisters are autoclaved at 121 °C (2 bar) for 15 minutes. Only minimal deformation of the blisters is tolerated, so that the syringes can be used in the operating room without problems after this thermal treatment.

When Capsules Fall Apart, Who Is To Blame?
5/6/2013
Capsule integrity is a given for established manufacturers with impeccable reputations. Consumers, however, know from experience that not all capsules are made equal. Some can be difficult to extract from the blister pack. Others may have gel caps with cracks or, even worse, ruptures that allow the ingredients to spill out. Is this a manufacturing problem? Or has R&D neglected to implement a fool proof test methodology for evaluating capsule stability? Compression and tension testing offer a technical approach with quantifiable results that can be used to assess capsule performance.
