Testing prefilled syringes is an important task to guarantee the optimal administration of the drug. This special holder for syringe testing allows users to fix syringes that measure 6 mm to 22 mm in diameter, and contain various volumes. Glide forces and break-away forces of the prefilled syringes can be easily measured with high accuracy and reproducibility. Nevertheless, with this testing device you are not restricted to syringe tests: You can upgrade your UTM Micro to a full rheometer, Tribometer or DMA.

Key features

Glide force of prefilled syringes according to ISO 11040

This holder allows users to perform glide force tests to evaluate syringe lubrication, as specified in ISO 11040, Annex E. Correct lubrication and sealing is important to ensure that the syringes work properly. Besides the glide force, break-away forces can be measured and recorded by the application software RheoCompass.

Forces required for piston movement according to ISO 7886-1

The syringe test holder is used to squeeze water out of the syringe, while the force required to move the piston is recorded according to ISO 7886-1 standard. The set-up consists of the height-adjustable syringe clamp, as well as a stand for a fluid reservoir to collect the squeezed-out sample. The DIN ISO 7886-1 standard is also referenced in USP<382> and USP<1382>.

More than ‘just’ a universal testing machine

Enjoy full flexibility and use the UTM Micro exactly as you need it, be that as a mechanical testing machine, or a multi-performer combining more than one method – a rheometer, tribometer, powder rheometer, and a device for dynamic mechanical analysis. You are also not restricted to syringe testing; you also can measure the viscoelastic properties of the drug or any other liquid, semisolids and solids and use it to improve formulation or product stability.
