Silicone Oil layer quality can be quickly assessed and documented with a cutting-edge device called the Layer Explorer. The Layer Explorer uses unprecedented technology to determine the total distribution of silicone content and homogeneity in syringes in minutes.
TheLayer Explorer (LE) sets functional parameters for cartridge and syringe applications such as “gliding force plunger displacement” and others. Data concerning functionality parameters can be compared to layer thickness distribution data, and thereby provide sufficient information for siliconization process optimization and validation.
Emulsion siliconized products normally indicate a high homegeneity and a low silicone content, however, this cannot be guaranteed becuase the siliconization process is subject to many variables.
