Analysis laboratory to astm F1609-23 standard
You would like to analyze the hydroxylapatite content of your DM according to ASTM F1609-23
What does ASTM F1609-23 say ?
ASTM F1609-23 is a technical specification that details the requirements for calcium phosphate coatings used in surgical implant applications. Specifically, it covers their composition, application methods, and physical and mechanical characteristics. It covers both particulate and monolithic forms of calcium phosphate materials. The types of coating included in this specification are hydroxylapatite, tricalcium phosphate, and their combinations, with the possibility of minor additions of other ceramics or metals.
What are the analysis techniques described in ASTM F1609-23 ?
To ensure compliance, materials must undergo rigorous testing, including :
Mechanical tests: tensile test, tensile strength, shear strength, fatigue strength
The FILAB laboratory can assist you with your analysis needs in accordance with ASTM F1609-23 standards.
