About
**Who they are** Ddltesting is a specialized provider of packaging and shelf-life testing services, with laboratory locations in Minnesota, California, and New Jersey.
**Expertise & scope** * Conducts accelerated aging testing and real-time aging testing to establish shelf life and expiration dates for medical devices, packaging, and products. * Performs accelerated aging testing based on ASTM F1980, simulating the effects of aging on materials to provide conservative shelf-life estimates. * Employs real-time aging studies in conjunction with accelerated aging to correlate results and determine final shelf-life claims. * Offers a range of materials testing, including Coefficient of Friction, Flexural Bend, Film Testing, Fatigue Testing, Polyurethane Foam Testing, Sutherland Rub Test, Shear Test, and Puncture. * Provides packaging testing services such as Medical Connectors Testing, Dimensioning Services, Industrial CT Scanning, Injection System Testing, Infusion Set Testing, Surgical Suture Testing, Guidewire Testing, Product Vibration Testing, and Shock and Fragility Testing.
**Reputation / proof points** * Operates laboratories in Eden Prairie, MN; Irvine, CA; and Edison, NJ. * References ISTA Forum as an upcoming event.
Additional information
Ddltesting emphasizes the importance of correlating real-time aging studies with accelerated aging to validate shelf-life claims. When establishing shelf life, it's recognized that accelerated aging provides a conservative estimate based on thermodynamic principles, but direct extrapolation requires caution due to the complexity of packaging materials. Temperature selection for accelerated aging studies should avoid unrealistic failure conditions like melting. Their services are designed to help clients meet quality and safety standards by providing expert analysis for product integrity and longevity.
