Fast, flexible polymer analysis with fewer delays

If you're unsure which polymer tests are needed, grappling with unexpected failures, or facing sample size limitations, the consequences can include costly rework, missed filing deadlines, or compromised performance. These challenges are particularly acute for smaller manufacturers unfamiliar with regulatory demands, and for larger ones under pressure to meet aggressive timelines.

The Eurofins Medical Device Services network of laboratories gives you the confidence to navigate these complexities. Our experts specialize in the detailed chemical analysis of polymeric materials used in medical devices. With an extensive range of cutting-edge instrumentation, we offer one of the most comprehensive ranges of polymer chemistry testing services. 

From routine material identification to complex failure analysis, we deliver:

  • Customize chemical analysis involving deformulation, contaminant identification, failure analysis, materials identification, materials development and specification and litigation support.
  • Evaluation of biodegradation in implanted devices through polymer analysis
  • Investigations of accelerated aging of materials
  • Resin composition analysis for performance verification

We also partner with internal R&D teams to deliver fast, cost-effective access to expertise and instrumentation, covering materials characterization, polymer testing, surface analysis, microscopy, and physical testing. Our responsive, collaborative approach gives you direct access to experts, clear results, and actionable insight, helping you minimize delays, reduce sample waste, and stay on track for timely submissions.

Solve polymer challenges before they impact your timeline.
