Leak Testing & Package Integrity Testing
VeriPac leak testers have proven to be the ultimate front-to-back leak testing solution for the pharmaceutical industry. Using non-destructive vacuum decay leak testing technology, test chambers are designed to accommodate a full range of container and package types including BPC (Bulk Pharmaceutical Chemical) and API (Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient) containers and bags as well as vials, ampoules, pouches, trays, bottles and cups. Test components are optimized according to the type of package being tested and the level of sensitivity required. This versatility offers a tremendous advantage to companies looking for a reliable all around leak testing solution that can be implemented at various stages of the drug manufacturing process. Applications also include online leak testing of empty bottles and containers. VeriPac inspection systems utilize an ASTM approved vacuum decay leak test method (F2338-05) recognized by the FDA as a consensus standard for package integrity testing. This method was developed using PTI's VeriPac leak test instruments.

Veripac 410 Blister Leak Tester
The VeriPac 410 utilizes a combination of vacuum decay technology and differential force measurement to identify defective packages. Multiple packages can be tested in a single test cycle, and the 410 identifies which package or cavity is defective. Test results are quantitative and provide operators with a definitive pass/fail, eliminating the subjective and destructive nature of current test methods.

Pouch Seal Inspection & Seal Quality Analysis
Seal-Scan™ technology provides seal integrity inspection of pouches and flexible packaging. Seal-Scan™ characterizes seals that appear visually acceptable yet possess defects that affect product quality, value, and shelf-life. Non-destructive and non-invasive, Seal-Scan™ is a precise, repeatable method to evaluate and analyze seal quality. Seal-Scan™ utilizes non-contact airborne ultrasound technology to detect various types of defects, visible and invisible, leaking and non-leaking, process-related and random. The ability to analyze seal integrity with precision and repeatability has established Seal-Scan™ as the leading inspection method for heat seals in pouches and flexible packaging.

PTI - At INTERPHEX New York 2010, Jesse Sklar from PTI Packaging Technologies and Inspection introduces the latest model of the VeriPac technology – the VeriPac 455. The VeriPac 455 tests empty or prefilled syringes, viles, ampules, or cartridges for leaks down to al 1-2 micron range. The VeriPac 544 technology is non-destructive, non-invasive, and there is no sample preparation. The VeriPac 544 is able to repeat tests on containers for stability and is an ASTM approved test method as well as an FDA recognized consensus standard. Validation is easy and more reliable with quantifiable data. The VeriPac 544 is easy to use with either a pass/fail output or statistical analysis and deviation.
