Extractable & Leachable Studies for Consumer Products Webinar
In this webinar we introduce Extractable and Leachable tests which identify chemical components that can migrate out of a product.
MD&M West 2021 Tech Talk presentation
10th August 2021
Eric Uffman, Sales director, EAG Laboratories presented Chemical Characterization for MDR Compliance calls at MD&M West 2021 Tech Talk. On May 26th of this year, the new Medical Device Regulation (“MDR”) went into effect for devices marketed in Europe. This regulation calls out over 1,000 substances that are “carcinogenic, mutagenic or toxic to reproduction (‘CMR’)” and requires that these substances cannot be present at more than 0.1% (by wt.) in a medical device. EAG has developed an evaluation program that combines a systematic review of material data and application use along with chemical screening and evaluation against the MDR standard. We will discuss this time and money saving approach and how this testing compares with ISO 10993-18 testing.

Rare Earth Elements Aren’t So Rare After All
The term ‘rare earth elements’ (REEs) is a misnomer and better refers to the relatively rare ores REEs are extracted from; rare earth elements are all around us!

TEM, STEM and AC-STEM techniques deliver high resolution images providing a detailed view of a material or product.
Composition Analysis on 3D Printed Titanium
XRD analysis provides identification of crystalline phases present. For 3D printed materials that come from a matrix of multiple elements, it can be unclear whether the cooling creates one, consistent phase of material or if it separates out into multiple phases.

Surface Analysis on 3D Printed Titanium
For 3D printed products, XPS can provide composition and bonding information for the top 5-10nm sample surfaces. Oftentimes, surface contamination/oxide thickness would affect the appearance (as well as performance when applicable) of the material, and XPS could help identify the source and/or cause.
