MET introduces new ageing chambers

Medical Engineering Technologies (MET) of Dover, Kent and a Cormica laboratory, has made "enhancements" in their stability testing capabilities. 

MET have unveiled two walk-in Real-Time Ageing Chambers, an investment that expands the capacity of the testing processes. This allows the company to offer a complete range of stability conditioning, ensuring compliance with ISO 11607-1 and ASTM F1980:2021 guidelines. These chambers increase the capacity by 35.5m3 and are integral to the company’s larger investment program - aiming to double the laboratory space by 2024/2025.

In response to the high demand for stability test programs, Cormica Group has invested £235,000 in a dedicated building to house stability testing options. 

Real-time ageing is a critical component in the lifecycle management of medical devices, ensuring their performance, safety, and reliability under real-world conditions. This process is vital for accurately predicting the longevity and stability of products over time, providing essential data that supports regulatory compliance and market readiness.
