For many industrial applications of polymer materials it is important that the material is independently certified by a third-party laboratory. The independent material certification and qualification is a part of the Quality System of the manufacturer and provides assurance that the materials meet the expected requirements. Medical product manufacturers, medical device manufacturers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and automotive companies are examples of industrial sectors for which materials certification and qualification is applied.
Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR)
Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS)
Melt Flow Index Testing (MFI)
Depending on the method that is required to properly perform the assessment, 1 to 100-g of sample are typically requested.
