China Orders 40 Permeation Testing Systems From MOCON
MOCON, Inc. has received an order from China's State Food & Drug Administration (SFDA) for top-of-the-line oxygen permeation and WVTR testing systems to supply 20 provincial pharmaceutical testing centers.
The centers, located in the western and central parts of China, will each receive a MOCON oxygen permeation system, OX-TRAN® 2/21 ML, and a water vapor testing system, PERMATRAN-W® Model 3/33 MG Plus. A total of 40 MOCON instruments will be in place by October.
"MOCON has had a long-standing global reputation as the gold-standard manufacturer of permeation testing instrumentation. We are pleased with the confidence China's SFDA has shown in our technology by placing a significant order to support its provincial testing centers," said Robert L. Demorest, president and CEO, MOCON.
Both the OX-TRAN®and PERMATRAN-W® lines have been engineered to test permeation of either flat materials or finished packages/devices such as vials, pouches, bottles, blister cavities and syringes. The OX-TRAN 2/21 system uses a patented coulometric sensor (COULOX®) to detect oxygen transmission. It provides parts-per-billion sensitivity even in the presence of water vapor.
The newly-launched PERMATRAN-W® Model MG 3/33 Plus, water vapor transmission rate unit, offers automatic relative humidity (RH) capability via a new software interface. This enables the instrument to quickly and simply achieve accurate and precise relative humidity conditions. Precise results are critical to understanding how barriers will perform in real-world conditions.

In 2007, MOCON established an office, laboratory and service center in Shanghai to help provide leading-edge permeation technology for growing economies in the Asia-Pacific region. Its agent in the region, the Danbell Company, Beijing, is responsible for procuring the instrumentation deal between MOCON and China's SFDA.
