INSIGHTS ON PHARMACEUTICAL INSPECTION

PHARMACEUTICAL INSPECTION SOLUTIONS

  • Bottles come in a wide array of sizes and configurations, reflective of their diverse use in the health sciences industry. Typically, they exhibit a screw top closure threaded onto the bottle mouth, though sealing properties ranges from elastomeric liners, to o-rings, to induction seals and reliance on plastic-to-plastic contact and compression. One specific trend is the increase in need to test sterile bulk containers or sterile API containers. As the industry continues to move toward outsourcing or even insourcing through a network of suppliers or sites, transport of sterile drug product or API is becoming increasingly common. These types of containers are traditionally challenging to test, but can be qualified prior to use or as a proof of concept using helium leak detection.

  • A premium dual energy x-ray inspection system offering outstanding detection of hard-to-find, low density contaminants, in a variety of applications. Available in standard and custom configurations.

  • The most current model, the Seal Integrity Monitoring System (SIMS) 1915+, is the ideal choice for your helium-based leak detection system. Compared to conventional vacuum bubble and dye penetration test methods, packages can be quantitatively tested using helium as the tracer gas that ensures higher levels of accuracy. Such an approach allows a comparison between multiple packaging materials and forms production line settings and stability storage conditions, supporting the entire lifecycle.

  • Our pharmaceutical checkweighers are sensitive enough to detect variations in weight as slight as the presence of a sheet of paper - meaning that packages that are missing instructions for use are identified and removed before they can reach consumers. This is of critical importance when it comes to pharmaceutical products, as missing instructions for proper use can trigger a product recall causing damage to your brand and reputation. It can also have disastrous consequences for end users too.

  • The VeriPac 465 performs leak detection based on the basic principles of physics and does not require the use of trace gasses or sample preparation to perform the test. The VeriPac 465 core technology is based on the ASTM vacuum decay leak test method (F2338) recognized by the FDA as a consensus standard for package integrity testing. This test method was developed using VeriPac leak test instruments.
