Inorganic Ventures makes packaging more sustainable

/in /by

A step towards sustainability: IV changes packaging!

Did you know that Inorganic Ventures packed nearly 150,000 bottles by 2022? As part of their commitment to continuous improvement, we have introduced a new process to increase efficiency and be more environmentally conscious.
From 1 September 2023, bottles will no longer be sealed with plastic thermal tape on each cap.

In the past, adding thermally sealed seals was a good way to prove adulteration, but since the introduction of Transpiration Control Technology (TCT) many years ago, this process has become redundant.

The heat-resistant tape does not add any additional protection to the solution. The caps are tightened with an ISO 17025-calibrated torque spanner that ensures the solution is completely sealed and leak-proof during transport. TCT adds an extra layer of protection and thus manipulation prevention.

Remember, the best thing about TCT is that CRMs retain their scientific integrity for up to five years after the production date. The product may be stored in the TCT bag for up to four years and then for up to one year after the product is removed from the packaging.

This change will be applied to all lots manufactured after 1 September 2023. Rest assured, this change will not affect the integrity or quality of our products. As always, IV’s products come with a 100% customer satisfaction guarantee.

If you have any questions or comments, do not hesitate to contact our team.

Custom Inorganic Standards 5 years Shelf Life

/in /by

Custom Multi Element inorganic standards now have a certified shelf life of up to 5 years through Transpiration Control Technology (TCT) from Inorganic Ventures. With TCT, concerns about storage and transport conditions of standards are eliminated. This saves the lab money and simplifies research by eliminating the need to constantly monitor stock levels and reorder CRMs.

Last year Inorganic Ventures already introduced the TCT technology for inorganic Stock standards. So now this technology is also available for inorganic Custom standards.

Thanks to TCT, your custom standard can always be in stock.

Transpiration refers to the wall of bottle allowing water vapor to pass through and/or through evaporation from the closed bottle opening. It leads to increase in the concentration of the CRM/RM.

Transpiration Control Technology extends the shelf life of the product. Inorganic Ventures uses a specially aluminized bag that prevents an increase in concentration until the bag is opened. The sealed TCT bag stops the loss of water vapor from the bottle when equilibrium is reached in the bag. So it is the same high quality product as you have come to expect from them, but even more improved.

To explain the problem and the technology of the solution, Inorganic Ventures has developed a series of animations explaining the frustrations surrounding perspiration. This series is by chemists for chemists.

The latest animation is called “I’m just a Custom Standard“:
