Boulder BioLabs Launches Innovative Testing Services for Medical Device Packaging and Distribution
Boulder BioLabs, part of the Boulder BioMed family, has recently opened its doors, promising a new era for medical device developers. The company specializes in efficient and accurate packaging and distribution testing services tailored for the medical device industry. As demand for streamlined processes grows, Boulder BioLabs offers a much-needed solution that enhances reliability and reduces risks associated with the testing of medical devices.
Enhanced Control Over the Validation Process
One of the standout features of Boulder BioLabs is its on-site contract service for distribution and packaging validation. This allows medical device developers to maintain tighter control over their commercialization timelines, minimizing delays often caused by the transfer of products to secondary labs for testing. Jim Kasic, the President and CEO of Boulder BioMed, emphasizes the importance of keeping the product within a single team throughout the process. This continuity fosters a better understanding of the device and builds stronger relationships between developers and their partners. As Kasic puts it, "Keeping the product with the same team throughout the process ensures continuity with a partner that understands the device and has an established relationship with the developer."
Comprehensive Testing Services Offered
Boulder BioLabs provides a wide array of testing services that cater specifically to the medical device sector, including:
- - Environmental testing
- - Drop testing
- - Compression testing
- - Vibration testing
- - Impact testing
- - Accelerated aging testing

These capabilities enable medical device companies to ensure that their products meet the highest standards of quality and reliability before reaching the market. By facilitating the transition from sterilization to testing in one location, Boulder BioLabs significantly reduces turnaround time, allowing innovators to respond to the fast-paced nature of the medical device market more effectively.
Faster Path to Market
In today’s competitive landscape, time is of the essence. Medical device developers are often pressured to bring their products to market quickly, but not at the expense of quality. Boulder BioLabs stands out in offering a solution that meets this dual demand. Kasic elaborates, “In a competitive market, a faster path to market can reduce production costs, help companies gain first-mover advantage, and potentially increase appeal to investors.” With faster and more efficient testing routes, innovators can mitigate risks while ensuring top-notch quality in their products, granting patients access to the necessary medical devices without unnecessary delays.
