The Effect of Data Collection Rate and Bandwidth Setting on Peel Adhesion Strength Tests

Use caution when comparing the values of a 180 degree peel adhesion test without understanding the test instrument’s bandwidth and data acquisition settings.

Testing of Stents & Stent Materials

Stents continue to evolve and continued material evaluation and development, as well as the delivery of new testing methods, is important for the evolution and success for these materials.

Compliance Correction

When a testing system is subjected to a force, the entire system (frame, load cell, grips, etc.) deforms. The process of removing this deformation -- leaving only the results of the deformation of the specimen, is fully described in this whitepaper.

21 CFR Part 11 Overview for Materials Testing

The paper provides an overview of 21 CFR Part 11 as it pertains to materials testing, electronic records, and electronic signature procedures for industries regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It describes the key elements of 21 CFR Part 11 and provides a methodology for transitioning your lab to a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant laboratory.

GR&R: Understanding Sources of Error in Mechanical Testing Results

Gage repeatability and reproducibility, also known as GR&R, is a type of statistical analysis that is often performed by quality and product engineers as a method of test equipment validation and verification. The purpose of this paper is to highlight a variety of error sources, and provide suggestions and guidelines for conducting a successful GR&R study.
