Package Inspection White Papers & Case Studies

  1. A Process Analytical Technology (PAT) Approach To Automated Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT)

    This article provides the overview of Process Analytical Technology (PAT) methodology application to an automated equipment developed for 100% Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT) of pharmaceutical items.  By Andrea Simonetti

  2. Package Leak Testing And Achieving Quality And Efficiency Standards

    Achieving excellence in quality and efficiency standards has become the talking point within the pharma industry. By Dr Professor Dorian Dixon

  3. Pharma Company Cuts Packaging Costs Increases Inspection Speed By 86%

    In tough economic times, First Priority, manufacturer of generic veterinary pharmaceutical products, decided it was time to take a hard look at where they could cut costs without compromising on efficiencies and quality of their products.

  4. Container Closure Integrity Of Sterile Vials During Deep Cold Storage 12/26/2018

    Learn how rapid, nondestructive laser-based headspace analysis can support data generation to demonstrate the maintenance of seal integrity during deep cold storage and transport.

  5. The Benefits Of Package Integrity Testing

    In a world full of hungry microorganisms, it is critical that medical devices, designed to heal, do not inadvertently do the opposite by infecting the patient. To prevent infection, a device’s packaging or “sterile barrier system” must maintain sterility over the product’s entire shelf-life. By Ed Emerson

  6. A Faster 'Time-To-Market' With Automated Proofreading Solutions

    In the past, numerous departments at P&G were part of the verification process. For example, artwork traveled from Marketing, Production, Legal, Regulatory, Consumer Relations, Print Production, Product Development & Creative Services.

  7. Contract Packaging Organization Installs Checkweigher To Solve Accuracy Challenges 6/18/2012

    Quality Packaging Specialists, Inc., a custom contract packing company, thrives in a crowded market by providing high quality production, responsive service and competitive prices. By Kyle Thomas, Mettler-Toledo Hi-Speed

  8. Nitrogen Purging Process Development For Oxygen Sensitive Formulations In Pre-Filled Syringes 6/22/2021

    A new biological product, in pre-filled glass syringes, had demonstrated oxygen sensitivity in stability studies. Therefore, the headspace was purged with nitrogen during filling, and the client wanted to validate the batch production process and assess the nitrogen purge efficiency. In this study we demonstrate by performing a 100% inspection on the engineering batches using non-destructive headspace oxygen analysis you could gather the data needed before a commercial launch.

  9. Help Keep Pharmaceuticals Safe: Metal Detection Overview And Guidelines

    Although metal detection has been in use to identify the presence of ferrous, nonferrous, or stainless-steel contaminants for decades in the pharmaceutical industry, it has not been widespread.

  10. Leading Pharma Leverages Clarity To Counter Counterfeiting 1/15/2012
    In a sweeping effort to increase patient safety and combat the growing problem of counterfeit drug products, a major pharmaceutical manufacturer is adding 2D data matrix bar code serialization into its strategic product security initiatives.
