Residual Seal Force Testing Services
At Gateway Analytical, we provide advanced residual seal force testing; a non-destructive test method used in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries to evaluate the effectiveness of container closure systems in preventing the ingress of microorganisms or other harmful substances. It measures the force required to reopen a container after it has been sealed, indicating the seal’s strength.
The test involves placing a sealed container into a testing device, which applies a controlled force to open the container. The pressure required to open the container is measured and recorded. This force measurement is then compared to a predetermined value to determine whether the seal is strong enough to meet the required standards.
CCIT Study: Residual Seal Force (RSF)
Our RSF testing goes beyond standard quality checks. It is a comprehensive assessment of your container’s ability to maintain sterility and protect against microorganism ingress or other harmful substances. The residual seal force test is an important quality control tool that can help ensure the safety and efficacy of pharmaceutical and biotech products. It is commonly used in the production of sterile parenteral products, such as injectables and infusions, as well as in the manufacture of medical devices.
