Product Packaging
We supply all our powder products in secure, tamper-evident packaging, accommodating a range of order sizes. Whether you require a single kilogram for laboratory use or multiple tonnes for industrial-scale operations, we prioritise customers of all sizes. For larger orders, we also offer packaging in tamper-proof buckets.
Our materials remain shelf-stable when stored in cool, dry conditions. Any quoted expiry date pertains to the packaging rather than the material itself.
Material Testing Services
Plasma Biotal conducts characterisation and testing services to ensure our material is certified for medical use. Through a combination of in-house and independent external testing with approved laboratories we evidence that our calcium phosphates and coatings meet or exceed requirements for use in medical devices according to applicable standards (ISO, ASTM, USP).
We can generate a complete technical report with a full in-depth expert analysis to further characterise calcium phosphate biomaterials or ceramic coatings on medical devices if required.
Upon request, our experienced team can perform or arrange the following analytical techniques, please contact us through the enquiry form to discuss pricing:
