What Is Melt Flow Testing? Melt flow testing is a standardized method used to measure the rate at which a polymer, in its melted state, flows through a specific die under a set load and temperature. Essentially, this test provides a quick, repeatable way to gauge a polymer’s viscosity and processability. Melt flow testing measures the flow of a polymer when it is melted. The result, known as the melt mass-flow rate (MFR) or melt volume-flow rate (MVR), quantifies the amount of polymer mass or volume that flows through a small die under specified temperature and pressure conditions. The melt flow test itself is simple and straightforward. A small amount of […]

A Horizontal Tensile Tester is an essential piece of equipment used to evaluate the static tensile performance of various materials and components. Unlike traditional vertical tensile machines, this system adopts a horizontal structural layout, significantly expanding the testing space and accommodating large specimens or full-size samples that cannot be tested vertically. Its steel-frame configuration and mature testing technology make it suitable for metals, steel wires, chains, lifting belts, and structural components used in construction, shipping, heavy equipment, and defense applications. As demand for large-sample tensile testing continues to grow, understanding how to choose the right Horizontal Tensile Tester—and how to use it safely—has become increasingly important. Below is a detailed guide covering […]

Introduction Needle penetration testing plays a critical role in ensuring the safety and reliability of medical devices and materials used in pharmaceutical manufacturing. By assessing the puncture resistance of materials such as vial stoppers and protective films, this testing process guarantees compliance with stringent standards, including USP 381, ISO 7864, and ISO 8871-5. This article explores the importance of needle penetration testing, its application in quality assurance, and the benefits of using advanced instruments like the Cell Instruments NPT-01 Needle Puncture Tester. What Is Needle Penetration Testing? Needle penetration testing evaluates the force required for a needle to puncture a material. This test ensures that medical closures, hypodermic needles, and […]

Reinforcement Yarn and Thread for Industrial Hoses Synthetic yarns, such as nylon and polyester, are known for their relatively high shrinkage when exposed to heat. To maintain consistent physical and mechanical properties after extrusion, these yarns are commonly subjected to heat setting. This process involves stretching the yarn under controlled tension at elevated temperatures, permanently altering the fiber’s crystallinity and internal structure. The process ensures that the yarn maintains its dimensional stability and mechanical properties during subsequent high-temperature processing. By selecting precise heat-setting conditions—including temperature, tension, and exposure time—manufacturers can adjust the yarn’s shrinkage, strength, and elasticity to meet specific performance requirements. Properly heat-set yarns resist deformation during downstream processes, […]

Introduction to Greek Yogurt and Its Texture Greek yogurt stands out for its distinctively thick and creamy texture, making it a preferred choice among consumers seeking healthy options. The texture of yogurt, especially its firmness, is crucial for quality perception and overall enjoyment. To maintain these desirable qualities, manufacturers must employ rigorous testing methods, with the Greek yogurt firmness test being a central component of yogurt texture analysis. Importance of Texture Analysis in Yogurt Production Texture analysis is integral to food manufacturing, particularly for dairy products like yogurt. Texture influences not only consumer preference but also marketability. Firmness is one of the primary attributes that consumers look for in Greek […]

Introduction Quality assurance is vital for pharmaceutical and nutraceutical products, especially for softgel capsules, which must withstand varying degrees of handling, storage, and transport. The digital softgel Hardness Tester is an essential tool for testing the structural integrity of softgel and gelatin capsules. This guide explores the importance of digital hardness testing, its application in labs, and why tools like the CHT-01 Capsule and Softgel Hardness Tester from Cell Instruments stand out. What Is Digital Softgel Hardness Testing? Digital softgel hardness testing involves applying controlled force to measure the resilience of the capsule wall. By determining the force needed to rupture or deform the capsule, this testing process assesses the quality and consistency […]

Ensuring the quality and mechanical integrity of tablets is a cornerstone of pharmaceutical manufacturing. A tablet hardness tester plays a crucial role in this process by accurately measuring the mechanical strength of tablets to ensure consistent quality across batches. Available in both manual and digital formats, these devices help confirm that tablets can endure handling, packaging, and transport without breaking. By adhering to pharmacopoeial standards such as those outlined by USP and the European Pharmacopoeia, tablet hardness testing ensures that every product meets the strict quality benchmarks required for safe distribution. Whether during research and development or in full-scale production, these instruments are vital for optimizing formulations and maintaining batch […]

Introduction Measuring gel capsule rupture strength is critical in the pharmaceutical industry to ensure that soft gels can withstand packaging, handling, and storage while still dissolving effectively during use. Capsules that are too weak risk damage during transportation, while overly thick capsules may compromise bioavailability. To meet rigorous quality control standards, Cell Instruments Co., Ltd. offers reliable, repeatable, and precise solutions for rupture strength testing. Why Measure Gel Capsule Rupture Strength? The gel capsule rupture strength test objectively evaluates the force needed to break a soft gel shell. This force correlates with shell thickness, elasticity, and material consistency. Maintaining this balance ensures optimal capsule integrity throughout its shelf life and proper dissolution in the body. Test […]
