MOCON, a global provider of instrumentation, consulting and laboratory services, has announced the partnership with the Inspection Systems, a Australia-based company to establish a certified lab for permeation, seal strength and leak detection testing for food and pharmaceutical packaging structures.
The patnership will make the IS Laboratories becomes the first MOCON-certified test facility in Australia and the eighth MOCON-certified lab in the world.
The aim is to provide fast and affordable testing services for food and pharmaceutical companies using MOCON's gold-standard instrumentation.
MOCON certified laboratory means the maintenance, inspection, installation of the instruments will be done by the MOCON-factory authorized service technician and the laboratory staff.
IS Laboratory capabilities include: oxygen, water vapor and carbon dioxide permeation testing; burst and pressure strength testing, as well as pressure decay.
MOCON consulting and testing product manager Alan Shema said the company certification assures that companies using any one of these facilities will get the same level of service and quality they would find at any other MOCON-certified location anywhere in the world.
"This is ideal for multinational companies which can now be assured that their materials or packages are tested using identical standards and protocols on four different continents," Shema said.
