Oliver Stauffer of PTI Inspection Systems will give a presentation on "The Importance of Non-Destructive Testing" during the Pharmatex Bio-Pharmaceutical Technology Conference in Cork, Ireland, September 11 through 13.

Stauffer, sales/applications engineer for PTI, will discuss package inspection technologies and options that are available for non-destructive testing on September 11, 2007 at 2:30 pm as part of the Vendor presentation program. He will address the advantages and benefits of implementing a non-destructive inspection method, and will focus specifically on the issues of cost, test method (subjectivity vs. hard data), sampling, and market trends.

Pharmatex is dedicated to the growth and development of the Biotechnology Pharmaceutical Sector. PTI joins other leading suppliers who will provide attendees with a hands-on understanding of the technologies available from the world's leading production technology companies. Visitors will have the opportunity to learn about the future development, challenges and opportunities of the industry while listening to industry experts' advice about the latest technology solutions that exist for cost saving and increased efficiency.

"There is an increased awareness about the importance of package and seal integrity across all industries, but particularly in pharmaceutical and medical device," Stauffer noted. "There is a growing concern that some of the traditional test methods that have had longevity in the packaging industry, many of which are destructive, are no longer reliable." Stauffer added, "Technologies that yield repeatable, quantifiable statistical test data are necessary to meet the needs of the packaging industry today, and reliable testing that is beyond subjective results is needed to protect the manufactured product. Package testing using the proper test method is a critical part of that process."

Jack Daly, sales manager of IPT Ltd. (sales representative for PTI in Ireland) commented "This is an excellent opportunity for quality assurance professionals in Ireland to hear a presentation about the importance of non-destructive testing and how these technologies can assist companies to meet the challenges of this highly regulated and competitive market. IPT Ltd. will also be exhibiting a PTI Inspection System at our Stand A12."
