Pharmaceuticals
Materials used in the pharmaceutical industry that require mechanical testing are typically drug delivery systems, tablets, packaging, injectors, luer locks, and syringes. This broad category of materials are most commonly thought of as a means to deliver a drug to a patient. The delivery could be via a shot in a patient’s leg, an intravenous line placed in a patient’s arm, or simply by allowing that patient to open up a medicine bottle. Regardless of the delivery method, it is critical for companies to test the materials and components used in pharmaceutical products to help ensure proper dose, delivery times, patient usability, and safety.
