Laboratory Services

Bioburden testing*

Determine pre-sterilization microbial load on products. Appropriate samples from a production lot are selected and a full validation is done to ensure the appropriate recovery factor.

Biocompatibility testing*

Overall assessment of interactions between product and physiological systems of humans treated with the product using analytical chemistry, in vitro tests, and animal models.

Biological Indicator Testing

Our team of microbiologists perform in-house testing and interpret biological indicator's results, and how it relates to your sterilization project.

Endotoxin (LAL) Testing*

Detection of bacterial endotoxin contamination. Any product that is labeled as nonpyrogenic must be tested to verify that claim. Medical devices with bloodstream or cerebrospinal fluid contact must also be tested for the presence of bacterial endotoxins.

Engineering Run

Expose product to standard sterilization cycle, no sterile claim. Use for general evaluation of products.

Functionality testing*

Ensure product retains its function after a full sterilization cycle. Typically done by customer unless otherwise indicated.

Materials compatibility testing

Our materials scientists will perform material compatibility with our REVOX℠ technology.

Product sterility validation*

Packaging Integrity Testing

Testing that validates integrity via packaging process and distribution simulations.

Residual testing*

Determine if there are any residual sterilization agents left in the product sterilized using the REVOX℠ process.
