Texture Analyzers - Testing Of Packaging Seals

Texture analyzers have been used for many years to test physical properties of food, cosmetics, and other consumer products. Most texture analyzers operate primarily in compression mode for this type of testing. Tension testing is often over-looked but can also be quite valuable for consumer products. In particular, testing the seal integrity of the packaging material itself is seldom done, but can often provide very insightful inforamtion.
