The TS-MTC2 Migration Test Cell is purpose-built to support the pretreatment stage of migration testing for food contact materials and articles. It has been engineered to meet the requirements of GB 5009.156-2016 and accommodates all non-volatile food simulants defined under standards including GB 31604.1-2015 and EN 1186-1, making it a dependable choice for laboratories conducting compliance testing on food contact packaging and materials.
Applicable Standards
GB 5009.156-2016, GB 31604.1-2015, GB/T 23296.1-2009, EN 1186-1:2002, EN 13130-1:2004
Key Features
- Designed and manufactured in full accordance with Figure B.5 – Migration Cell C in Appendix B of GB 5009.156-2016, and Figure C.8 – Migration Cell F in Appendix C of EN 1186-1:2002, ensuring consistent and standard-compliant migration test results.
- Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel that does not release trace substances into the test medium, safeguarding the integrity of the testing process.
- Offers both single-sided and double-sided testing configurations, simplifying model selection while extending versatility. The double-sided configuration is well suited to food contact materials such as instant noodle outer packaging and seasoning sachets.
- Fitted with a heat-resistant, corrosion-resistant, self-cleaning sealing ring that delivers dependable sealing performance and prevents leakage or volatilization of simulants throughout the test.
- The sealing design keeps the specimen area outside the defined test surface isolated from food simulants, preserving the accuracy and validity of the test region.
- Adaptable for migration test pretreatment across a broad range of material types.
