Frequently Asked Questions About Visual Inspections & Syrviatek Services

Why does Syrviatek use irregular particles instead of NIST particles to prepare its standards?

For best evaluation, the test sets should behave just like the products within your manufacturing process. Irregular particles allow us to do so better than NIST particles would.

Where is Syrviatek located?

Our FDA-certified laboratory facility is located within the Canovanillas Shopping Village in Carolina, Puerto Rico.

Can Syrviatek provide a visual inspection automatic machine challenge set?

Yes. Additionally, we can provide test sets and guidance with regard to automatic inspections, manual inspections, probability of detection studies, inspector qualification, injectable defects, and more.

What is an ELISA?

ELISA stands for enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. It's a plate-based assay technique designed for detecting and quantifying soluble substances such as peptides, proteins, antibodies, and hormones.

What is the ELISA process?

In an ELISA, the antigen is immobilized on a microplate, then complexed with an antibody that's linked to a reporter enzyme. By measuring the activity of the reporter enzyme via incubation with the appropriate substrate to produce a measurable product, detection is accomplished. The most crucial element of an ELISA is a highly specific antibody-antigen interaction.
