Labthink has opened a Packaging Testing Laboratory in Medford, Massachusetts, USA. With many testing instruments, a wide array of specific tests can be performed for various projects.

The news comes in the midst of several developments happening with the aid of Labthink’s innovative scientific instruments. 

Labthink’s Water Vapor Permeability Tester and Oxygen Transfer Rate Testers were recently referenced in an article in the Journal of Materials Research and Technology explaining a study to improve superhydrophobic gradient coatings in different environments.

In a recent study in Polymers in the Biobased and Biodegradable Polymers Section, Labthink Oxygen Transfer Rate Test Instruments and a W3/031 Water Vapor Permeability Instruments were used to test edible coatings to preserve fruit. In LWT – Food Science and Technology, March 2025, Labthink’s thickness tester (CHY-C2, Labthink, Jinan, China), water vapor transmission rate tester (W3-031, Labthink, Jinan, China) and gas permeability tester (VAC-V2, Labthink) were used in a study to develop packaging film that would prolong the freshness of produce. In Foods 2025 Labthink’s XLW(EC) intelligent electronic tensile tester and i-OXTRA 7700 gas penetration tester were used to test Melatonin/P34HB Films for Active Packaging.

Labthink International, Inc. is a global enterprise that provides professional quality control solutions for packaging materials and products. The company’s headquarters is based in Boston/Medford, Massachusetts, and is well known for being the hub of technological innovations.
