ISO 9001 accreditation
 We are pleased to announce that as a measure of Triton's commitment to quality and customer service, we are now a fully-accredited ISO 9001 company.
The accreditation covers all aspects of the company's activities, including production, sales, purchasing, laboratory work, consultancy and service.
Quality Assurance of Plastics with the identiPol QA
 Polymers and plastics are notoriously difficult to quality assure.To fully characterise and check a polymer usually requires advanced analytical techniques and a skilled material scientist.
Typically, simple tests such as a melt flow index are employed but really do not provide a holistic assessment of the material.
The all new identiPol QA offers a major new economical approach to this problem. Based upon hybridised thermal analysis methodology, the assessment of materials is very rapid and exceptionally easy to use.
Announcement of new EMDA funded consortium to develop a High Pressure Mechanical Testing Device
The East Midlands Development Agency (EMDA) is making available significant funding to enable the formation of a consortium led by the School of Chemistry at the University of Nottingham.
The project arose from investigation of the effects of highly pressurized gases on materials. This, in turn, led to the development of a new technology to process polymers in a clean and sterile manner.
This technology is useful for different types of polymers such as those found in dissolvable stitches in surgery, drug impregnated coatings for stents used in coronary or arterial repairs, silver impregnated antimicrobial materials through to natural materials such as gas extruded cereals and snacks in the food industry.
Currently, there is a barrier to much of these new materials becoming a significant commercial reality. There is no current procedure that is reliable and quick that can test the effect of high pressure treatment of materials and therefore very few materials have been produced by these new processes.
Professor Howdle of Nottingham University and Dr John Duncan of Triton Technology have arrived at a potential solution to this problem. To take this forward, a collaboration will take place between the University, Triton Technology Limited and Critical Pharmaceuticals. Additional consultation and end user analysis from Molecular Profiles Limited, RegenTec Limited and Loughborough University will also be incorporated into the project.
Business Development Manager, Dr Trevor Farren said; "Discussions with pharmaceutical and food industry experts revealed this testing device would increase confidence in the new high pressure processing and open up new commercial applications for East Midlands businesses"
