Functional Biomaterials
Coatings of medical devices consist of a matrix, sometines in combination with a pharmaceutical component. These coatings can be permanent or degradable.
The NMI-TT can analyse coating stability, integrity, degradation as well as drug release according to established standards.
Sample preparation follows DIN-EN 10993-12, analysis of degradation of polymers 10993-13, analysis of degradation of metals and alloys 10993-15, and analysis of leachables/extractables follows 10993-17.
We apply validated electrochemical methods and analytical methods like HPLC-MS or FTIR.
