Migration Test Cell for migration testing of food-contact materials

Product Introduction
MC-C Migration Test Cell is designed for pre-treatment in migration testing of food-contact materials and products. It complies with the geometric and functional requirements referenced in GB 5009.156-2016 and EN1186-1, providing standardized contact conditions for reproducible assessment of migrated substances. Typical users include third-party laboratories, food packaging manufacturers and research institutes.

Executive Standards
The device is manufactured to meet the following standards and test method requirements: GB 5009.156-2016; GB 31604.1-2015; GB/T 23296.1-2009; EN1186-1:2002; EN 13130-1:2004. These specifications ensure suitability for domestic inspection and EU export certification workflows.

Core Technical Parameters

• Contact mode: Single-sided or double-sided contact
• Single-sided contact area (diameter): 51.5 cm² (Φ81 mm)
• Double-sided contact area: 103 cm²
• Volume: 120 mL
• Operating temperature: 5°C – 180°C
• Overall dimensions: 143 mm (L) × 125 mm (W) × 76 mm (H)
• Net weight: 1.2 kg

Product Features

• Designed per Figure B.5 (Migration Test Cell C) of GB 5009.156-2016 and Figure C.8 (Migration Test Cell F) of EN1186-1:2002 to support consistent test geometry.
• Manufactured in stainless steel to avoid substance precipitation from the cell body.
• Supports single-sided and double-sided contact modes; double-sided mode suitable for samples such as instant-noodle outer packaging and seasoning sachets.
• Sealing ring resistant to high temperature and corrosion, minimizing leakage and simulant volatilization during testing.
• Sealing structure isolates areas outside the test surface from contact with simulants, ensuring valid test area.
• Compatible with a wide range of food simulants and sample types for migration pre-treatment.

Application Fields
Applicable to pre-treatment for migration testing of food-contact materials and products exposed to simulants including water, ethanol, acetic acid, vegetable oil, n-hexane, n-heptane and isooctane.

Conclusion
MC-C Migration Test Cell is a standards-compliant auxiliary device for migration pre-treatment of food-contact specimens. Its single- and double-sided contact options and standardized dimensions make it suitable for laboratory QC, third-party testing and packaging production control.
