Medical Testing Instruments

Thwing-Albert's QC Electronic Materials Testers provide quality solutions and have earned a well-deserved reputation as an easy-to-use, dependable testing platform. The QC-3A upholds the standards of the QC line while adding the functionality of a RS-232 interface, a digital load controller and enhanced software. Ideal for tensile, compression, coefficient of friction and peel analysis, the QC-3A is an extremely flexible, cost-effective testing system. The single-screw frame provides up to 1100 lbs (5kN/500 kg) tensile force with extremely accurate control throughout the entire load range. The digital load controller ensures extremely accurate, reliable test data.

The Vantage^NX Universal Testing Machine is a powerful tool that can be equipped to meet a variety of materials testing needs.  Many fixtures and grips are available for tensile testing, COF and other tests for the plastic film, flexible packaging, food packaging, paper, paperboard, tissue paper, textiles testing, and many other industries.  This universal materials testing frame can be setup for many tests when combined with the right grips and fixtures.

- Capacities - 1kN, 2kN & 5kN
- Single & Dual Column Testing Frames
- Windows 7, 8 and 10 compatible with MAP4 Software

Measure the combined effects of flexibility and surface friction of sheeted materials including nonwovens, tissue, toweling, film and textiles with the Handle-O-Meter.

This Coefficient of Friction Tester (COF) / Peel Tester can measure static and kinetic coefficient of friction as well as run seal strength tests, 180° peel, 90° peel, and T-peel tests.  The FP-2260 also offers a tensile test mode to perform lightweight tensile tests up to 10 kg (22 lbf).    

Its small bench top design makes the FP-2260 light weight allowing it to be used in a laboratory or setup out on the production floor for offline testing as needed. 

Plastic film, paper, paperboard, adhesives, labels and packaging materials are ideally tested with the FP-2260.  

Replaces the FP225-1, FP-2255 and FP-2250

Designed to measure the force required to pull the tubing out of the catheter fittings.

Simulates the amount of force required to insert and extract syringes from different bottles.

This fixture simulates the tear on a medical package/pouch.

The tray peel fixture is designed to measure the seal strength properties of rigid trays used in the food and medical industries.

The 1270 PCA measures the force to open or bend paperboard and scored paper carton.
