InstrumentstestingSensorsGasses and vapoursConsultancy

 

Versaperm manufactures gas permeability testing equipment, offers a comprehensive permeability testing service and a materials consultancy. These are used to measure gas permeability and leakage, important in medical and pharmaceutical packaging, foils and films, coatings, food and confectionery packaging and contents, and many other applications.

Versaperm designs and manufactures instruments to meet each customer’s needs. Instruments are typically be based on a modular MkVI design.


Our laboratory testing service has over 30 years experience to enable us to choose the best technique to measure your sample's permeability both quickly and accurately.

Water permeability of blister packs

Our diverse and growing range of sensors are based on fundamentally different and divergent physical principals. The choice of the right sensor for an application is critical in the successful deployment of the equipment. We are not tied to a sensor manufacturer.

At Versaperm we can measure the permeability for almost any gas / vapour including water vapour, Oxygen, CO2 Hydrogen, Helium, Nitrogen and Hydrocarbons.

Permeability is often the most critial factor in a material or component's performance. It determines how drugs to loose potency, food goes off, how paper both prints and jams in equipment, how seals work and it can even cause electronics to fail.

Our Consultancy division combines our theoretical and practical Permeability skills in instrument design and manufacture. Permeability Consultancy

Testing Service


Our Permeability Laboratory has probably tested a sample similar to yours before. While we naturally maintain strict confidentiality regarding each customer sample, our experience passed down over 30 years equips us to choose the right technique to quickly and accurately measure permeability of new samples.

 

PVapour Permeability testing

Most samples are supplied as flat samples, which can be quickly and easily measured with minimal sample preparation. For many pharmaceutical and other small package applications, however, the testing of complete containers provides a greater certainty that the total packaging solution is effective.

Some samples are neither flat nor closed containers, but we have solutions for measuring permeability on these too.

Before sending samples, please call us to discuss your application. We can normally supply a quote over the telephone, by email or post immediately. Sometimes we will need to look at the sample to make an assessment of the most appropriate technique.
