Quality in the laboratory
Microbiological laboratory
The tests performed in the microbiological laboratory are focused on three fields:
- Microbiological- and particle purity of the produced containers
- Environmental monitoring of microbiological and particle count of the air
- Monitoring of the hygienic behavior of the employees
Chemical laboratory
In our well-equipped chemical laboratory we have a years-long experience in a variety of tests for quality assurance and production support. These tests include:
- Determination of hydrolytic resistance (inner surface and glass grains) according to the latest versions of E.P./USP, ISO 4802-1 and ISO 719
- Measurements of glass color parameters and density
- Monitoring of selected raw material parameters (e.g. content of iron, alumina, sulfate)
Regular participation in comparative/ring trials (within the Stoelzle Glass Group and with external laboratories) ensures a constant high quality and accuracy of the testing procedures.
