Our team brings extensive experience, ensuring high-quality and accurate testing, while providing personalized solutions tailored to your needs. We are committed to delivering timely, reliable results, ensuring compliance and safety for your medical devices throughout their development and market entry.
Bioburden Testing
DIQC Lifesciences offers comprehensive bioburden testing to measure microbial contamination from cleaning, human handling, and environmental sources. Our expert team helps identify the root causes of microbial excursions and assists in reducing contamination to acceptable levels. By providing detailed analysis, we ensure that your medical devices meet the highest standards of safety and compliance for sterility and microbiology.
LAL Endotoxin Testing
LAL (Limulus Amebocyte Lysate) endotoxin testing is essential to ensure medical devices are free from harmful bacterial endotoxins that can trigger severe reactions. DIQC Lifesciences offers highly sensitive Kinetic Turbidimetric and Kinetic Chromogenic methods for endotoxin detection, ensuring regulatory compliance. Devices in contact with sensitive bodily systems, such as the cardiovascular or lymphatic systems, undergo LAL testing to ensure endotoxin levels are within safe limits, protecting patient health and meeting stringent safety standards.
Biofilm Testing
DIQC Lifesciences offers advanced biofilm testing to evaluate the effectiveness of medical devices in preventing microbial biofilm formation. Biofilms, formed by bacteria, fungi, or yeast, can pose significant risks to patient health and device performance. Our testing includes methods like Minimum Biofilm Eradication Concentration (MBEC), CDC Biofilm Reactor, and Drip Flow Biofilm Reactor, designed to measure the ability of medical devices to resist and eliminate biofilms. These tests ensure the reliability and safety of devices
Shelf-Life Testing
Shelf-life testing is essential to determine the stability and safety of medical devices over time. DIQC Lifesciences conducts accelerated aging studies to simulate product degradation under exaggerated storage conditions, helping assess the effects of both long-term and short-term storage conditions. We offer intermediate studies at 30°C and 65% relative humidity, as well as long-term real-time studies, ensuring your device’s label claims are supported and compliant with regulatory standards for shelf life.
Environmental Monitoring
DIQC Lifesciences provides essential environmental monitoring services to ensure that medical devices meet strict quality system regulations. Our expertise includes monitoring airborne particle counts, microbial identification, water testing, and other critical factors that can affect device performance. We offer comprehensive testing protocols and data management to support sterility assurance programs, ensuring devices maintain safety, quality, and compliance across various environmental conditions. Trust us to help you uphold the highest standards of product safety and reliability while achieving regulatory compliance.
Packaging Testing and Validation
DIQC Lifesciences offers comprehensive packaging testing and validation services to ensure that medical devices maintain sterility until expiration. We follow rigorous protocols to assess sealing strength, barrier properties, and resistance to environmental factors. Our services include accelerated aging, barrier testing, burst testing, dye penetration, and more, supporting your sterility assurance program and ensuring compliance with industry standards for packaging safety and effectiveness
Antimicrobial Testing
DIQC Lifesciences offers comprehensive antimicrobial testing to evaluate the efficacy of medical devices in preventing microbial growth. Our testing includes protocols for feasibility and regulatory submission, ensuring compliance with safety standards. We conduct various tests, such as AATCC Test Methods and ASTM E2149, to assess the effectiveness against common microorganisms and additional fungi or bacteria. This helps ensure that your products maintain high quality and safety standards while meeting regulatory requirements.
Microbial Identification Testing
DIQC Lifesciences offers precise microbial identification testing to monitor microorganisms on medical devices. Our expertise includes using efficient strategies to identify key contaminants, focusing on the most challenging microbes for risk analysis. We support manufacturers in navigating regulatory requirements and ensuring the accuracy of microbial identification. Our global facilities and dedicated team provide in-depth analysis, ensuring compliance with industry standards and helping mitigate contamination risks in medical device manufacturing.
