Harland Testing Services can provide quick and accurate measurements of particle size and counts from test samples submitted by customers. Harland’s particulate measurement services measure the size and distribution of particles as small as 2 microns up to 125 microns using light obscuration as recommended by USP 788. Particle suspensions are generated by your testing depending on the simulated use conditions relevant to your device. A particle measurement kit will be provided for you to collect and submit test samples.
Friction testing service includes measurement of coating lubricity and durability conducted on the latest Harland FTS Friction Testing System. Send us your samples – coated or uncoated – and we’ll quickly measure both lubricity and durability. A complete technical report will provide you with test method details, results and the data recorded. Test samples will be returned.
Coating thickness testing includes a process that accurately determines the thickness of hydrophilic and other medical device coatings by precisely measuring the diameter of a coated sample. Measurements can be made on coated samples when dry, when hydrated or uncoated. Measurements can be taken in designated locations on the sample or the sample can be scanned over a specified length. These tests will be performed with the Harland CTS1100 Coating Thickness Tester and the service includes a technical report with test method, results and data. Test samples will be returned.
