Testing laboratory partnership to offer package and permeation testing
Inspection Systems has announced a testing laboratory partnership with MOCON. The laboratory, known as IS Laboratories, will commence operations in late February 2013.
The service will operate from Inspection Systems’ brand new facility in Melbourne, which includes a purpose-built testing laboratory. IS Laboratories will become the sixth MOCON laboratory operating in the world, joining existing facilities in the US, Germany and China.
The laboratory will offer a range of testing services, including: permeability testing for water vapour (WVTR) and oxygen (OTR); package strength testing, including burst and pressure creep methods; and leak detection testing, including pressure decay tests.
“We’re very excited about this new service as it will provide our Australian and New Zealand clients with fast and affordable permeation and package testing services, plus access to MOCON’s latest testing equipment and procedures,” said Inspection Systems Director Brad Grubb.
