Characterisation of Polymers
Polymer Testing & Analysis
Ensuring reliability in polymeric materials remains essential in high-stakes fields like medical devices and pharmaceuticals. Drug delivery devices, next-gen medical implants, and critical components in chemical processes rely on top-tier polymers to meet stringent safety and performance demands. RQM+ meets these challenges with specialized polymer testing and analysis services, enhancing product safety, regulatory compliance, and operational efficiency. Here's how we excel.
Simplify Regulatory Navigation and Speed Up Your Time-to-Market
Navigating today’s complex regulatory environment can feel like walking a tightrope. Compliance with stringent standards—from FDA to MHRA regulations—can slow down product development and delay launches.
How RQM+ Helps:
- Expert regulatory insight: Our team’s deep expertise in polymer chemistry and regulatory compliance preempts potential hurdles, enabling faster approval.
Streamlined documentation and testing: We handle intricate polymer research with comprehensive testing to ensure detailed characterisation of polymers and polymeric materials, enabling you to meet all necessary benchmarks.
Polymer Testing for Supply Chain Integrity & Material Consistency
With the global nature of supply chains, the quality of polymer materials can be unpredictable. This variability poses significant risks, including potential contamination and inconsistencies that could compromise your product. Polymer testing and analysis is thus an increasingly important part of supply chain management.
RQM+ Solutions:
Our material science experts pinpoint contamination sources and variability in polymer formulations.
We employ techniques like mass spectrometry and melt flow analysis to verify the uniformity of polymer processing.
Customized Polymer Analysis for Complex Formulations
When working with complex formulations involving unique additives or proprietary blends, standard labs may not offer the depth of polymer science expertise needed. Our polymer testing labs combine the extensive RQM+ network of expertise with the bespoke approach of Jordi Labs to deliver comprehensive analysis and characterizations.
Our Advanced Polymer Characterization Techniques:
- Mass spectrometry and GPC (gel permeation chromatography) for molecular weight and structure-property analysis
- FTIR-microscopy and stereo microscopy for precise deformulation and additive identification
Why It Matters: Tailored testing approaches that account for the unique composition of your polymer materials provide deeper insights that drive better R&D and quality assurance outcomes.
Address Material Failures Head-On
In industries where a single polymer failure could have far-reaching consequences, robust failure analysis is vital. Whether it’s a defect in polymer processing during injection molding or an inconsistency in a screw extruder operation, quick diagnosis is key.
What We Offer:
- Comprehensive failure analysis using cutting-edge tools to understand chemistry and physics interactions in polymeric systems
- Root cause identification to recommend actionable solutions that protect your business and end-users
Key Benefit: Safeguard your reputation, maintain regulatory compliance, and keep your product lines running smoothly.
Support for Sustainability Initiatives
As pressure mounts to adopt sustainable practices, ensuring that your synthetic polymers and processes align with eco-friendly standards is essential.
- Green polymer research: We identify sustainable additives and optimize formulations to align with environmental guidelines.
- Comprehensive chemical characterization: Ensure your polymer chemistry choices align with sustainability goals without compromising on quality or performance.
Meet regulatory and consumer expectations for greener products while maintaining the desired structure-property relationships of your materials.
Preempt Production Disruptions with Rigorous Testing
Unexpected production halts due to polymer quality issues can disrupt supply chains and lead to financial loss. Ensuring robust polymer processing at all stages—from the screw extruder to final assembly—helps maintain continuity.
How We Mitigate Downtime:
- Physical property tests for stability, impact resistance, and melt flow behavior
- Routine polymer investigation to identify weaknesses before full-scale production
Why It’s Important: Catching potential issues early keeps your production line moving and prevents costly downtime.
Advanced E&L Testing for Emerging Applications
When working with novel drug-device combination products, stringent extractables and leachables (E&L) testing is non-negotiable. This is where RQM+ excels.
- Goes beyond standard practices to detect minute leachables that could impact patient safety
- Supports compliance with the most rigorous industry requirements, giving you a competitive edge
Why RQM+ Stands Out in Polymer Investigation
Unlike basic analytical services that may only scratch the surface, RQM+ offers integrated, deep-dive polymer research and material science expertise. Our team is equipped with advanced tools and decades of experience, providing not just data but strategic insights that:
- Inform R&D strategies
- Enhance product performance through an understanding of polymer structure-property interactions
- Drive innovation and support compliance with a wide range of regulatory requirements
