Evaluation of Film Burst Strength of Pharmaceutical Films Using the CT3 Texture Analyser
13 Jul 2015In this application note, the strength of a pharmaceutical film material was quantified using the CT3 Texture Analyzer from Brookfield Engineering. The rupture point of the material was determined through application of force through a probe, which is a common method for quality testing of drug packaging by simulating stress occurring during packaging or transport.

Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.Mechanical TestingMechanical testing explores the elastic and inelastic nature of a material when force is applied. A mechanical test shows whether a material is suitable for its intended application by measuring hardness, tensile strength, elongation, elasticity, and fatigue limit.Shipping / PackagingPackaging is the technology of enclosing or protecting products for distribution, storage, sale, and use and the process and production of packages. Packaging is closely linked to Shipping and the preparing of goods for transport, warehousing, logistics, sale, and end use. Within the pharmaceutical industry packaging and shipping are used for transport, storage and logistics between Contract Research Organizations (CROs), Manufacturing and Clinical Trial companies. Packaging is also critical in the final production of a pharmaceutical product before market. Food PackagingDrug DosageDosage is the size or frequency of the administration of a drug. Determination of the dosage of a drug is critical in pharmaceutical development to ensure the optimum balance between efficacy and toxicity.Quality ControlQuality control is needed in all production processes. Quality control is a monitoring procedure or set of procedures that are put in place to ensure that a manufactured product adheres to a defined set of quality criteria. Polymer FilmsPharmaceuticalsPharmaceuticals are medicinal drugs used in healthcare to diagnose, prevent, cure and treat illnesses. Pharmaceuticals that are excreted after use appear in wastewater and can have detrimental effects on the environment.
