As products and devices become more and more complex, and in particular hybrid devices emerge in biomedical applications, conventional testing and analysis is no longer enough. Understanding the final use of the material becomes critical, but equally important is devising a suitable test regime. Sometimes this test protocol is unique, but can leverage existing testing hardware, but sometimes even the instrumentation does not exist. CPG has extensive experience in developing custom test protocols, and the testing hardware required to support these protocols, either as a brand new device, or using unique control and analysis software.
