Accelerated Aging Testing Manufacturers

Accelerated aging testing is based on a thermodynamic temperature coefficient formulated by Von't Hof that states 'for every 10 degree C rise in temperature the rate of chemical reaction will double'. Accelerated aging testing is performed on packaged medical devices to ascertain shelf life and document expiration dates. Real time aging can be performed; however, products are often obsolete by the time a three-year shelf life is validated.
