Transportation and Distribution Package Testing Solution at Nelson Labs
SALT LAKE CITY - (BUSINESS WIRE) - As a microbiology lab, Nelson Labs (www.nelsonlabs.com)
typically isn't the first option to come to mind when searching for a distribution
and transportation package testing service provider; however, there
are benefits to doing the testing at the same facility where sterility
and other microbiology testing is performed. It saves time, money, and
streamlines the overall process.
"Since some providers are choosing to no longer provide services to
outside vendors, a few medical device manufacturers are even
investigating the notion of taking the test in-house," said Wendy Mach,
Packaging Section Leader at Nelson Laboratories. "These changes
can potentially cause confusion and delays as manufacturers strive to
validate equipment and testing methods for the transportation and
performance handling of their packaging in a timely manner."
Manufacturers have many options available to validate their packaging
testing to meet the distribution and transportation requirements of the ISO
11607 standard. Depending on the size of the company; these options
can not only save money, but increase efficiencies in the overall
testing process.
Some of the biggest factors to consider when making the determination of
where to conduct testing include:
-
Remembering testing equipment is expensive and large. It isn't cost
effective for a small company to make the investment in the equipment
necessary to perform testing.
-
The amount of space needed to perform the tests and the expense to
maintain the environment is significant, particularly for smaller
companies.
Nelson Labs is able to conduct the tests in a controlled lab setting and
simulate the actual environmental issues the package will face in
transportation between the manufacturer and the end users. Nelson Labs
can regulate temperature and humidity, perform significant drop testing,
and other variables that the package will encounter as regulated by the ISTA
and ASTM standards. By doing so, manufacturers have the same
person managing their account from start to finish-providing a
continuity of care, and peace of mind that your product is moving
through the process efficiently and in a timely manner.
Nelson Laboratories believes in The Science of Success .
It's looking beyond test results and partnering with clients to achieve
long-term business goals. www.nelsonlabs.com.
