In the medical device industry, long-term success is built on predictable device performance.  Physicians will describe the “feel” of a device, but as a manufacturer, you know that subjective feedback isn’t actionable data. To create a consistently superior product, the mechanical properties of catheters and guidewires must be quantified.  At Torontech, we believe this data […]

In the healthcare sector, the performance of a component as basic as a bandage can directly influence patient outcomes. At Torontech, our philosophy is that achieving quality is about more than just passing a test; it’s about a fundamental commitment to excellence.  For manufacturers, mastering your bandage testing procedures isn’t just about following a procedural

A bandage without the right amount of elasticity fails to perform its essential function.  When it comes to medical fabrics, achieving that perfect springiness is the entire point. We are talking about that critical property that allows a bandage to conform to a joint, providing continuous support without impeding circulation.  For the patient, this means

Here at Torontech, we’ve been involved in this industry for many years, and from our vantage point, process consistency is the cornerstone of an efficient operation.  We’re talking about the behavior of powders, and most of us have seen the operational headaches that a difficult powder can cause. It clogs equipment, throws off dosage accuracy,

There’s one piece of equipment that we consider the essential workhorse of the modern pharmaceutical lab. It’s called HPLC, and it is the technology that fundamentally ensures the medicines reaching consumers are safe and effective. The principle behind it is straightforward and helps to answer the core question of what is HPLC in the pharmaceutical

In our work supporting manufacturing clients, we’ve pinpointed a recurring challenge that can become a critical failure point: the distinction between HPLC assay and purity.  For any QC manager or production chemist, truly internalizing the difference between assay and purity in HPLC testing is, from our perspective, a non-negotiable for efficient production and meeting compliance

In the manufacturing space, if you’re not using an HPLC assay for quality verification, you’re operating with a significant blind spot. We are firm in our belief that for any business making products people depend on, brand integrity and financial stability are built on knowing exactly what is in your final output.  An HPLC assay

The detector you choose for your HPLC testing is one of the most consequential decisions your lab will make.  It is the component that translates a separation into a result. A suboptimal choice among the different types of HPLC detectors introduces unacceptable delays and risks, impacting project timelines and confidence in your data. This is

The HPLC column is the most critical component in your entire analysis setup. Selecting the right hardware is what separates successful, repeatable results from days filled with analytical problems.  At Torontech, we believe a solid grasp of this technology and the different types of columns used in HPLC analysis is key to making smart purchasing
