Silicone Testing for Medical Devices
Silicone rubber is used in medical devices for its flexibility, durability, and safety. Tests ensure it meets international standards and is free from harmful substances.
Silicone Testing Methods for Medical Devices
We use advanced methods like Inductively Coupled Plasma Optical Emission Spectrometry (ICP-OES) and Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS) to detect hazardous substances in silicone products.
