INSIGHTS ON PHARMACEUTICAL INSPECTION

PHARMACEUTICAL INSPECTION SOLUTIONS

  • Achieve ISO Class 5 containment for large-scale research equipment and robotics. These advanced enclosures ensure multi-level protection while maintaining rigorous aseptic standards.

  • With the advent of more advanced drug development for a wide variety of injectable compounds and an increasing preference for self-administration, prefilled syringes are the largest parenteral package growth sector. In many ways, the prefilled syringe is more complex and intricate in comparison to a traditional vial, a sealed ampoule, or bottles with screw top closures. They have multiple sealing sites that require integrity, but there is also a functionality piece associated: the syringe plunger must be able to deliver a dose, and thus, is movable.

  • See how modern metal detection improves sensitivity, smart system designs, and tailored inspection technologies to strengthen quality control across food and pharmaceutical production.

  • The XR75 Pharma X-ray is optimized for the quality control of pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic products in thin opaque packaging materials that cannot be inspected manually or with visual systems. The leakage prevention curtains are designed to leave a 10 mm-clearance that ensures safety and reduces false rejects caused by product jams or changed orientation during conveyance. The system checks for different product integrity issues simultaneously: products trapped in seals, missing, chipped, or broken tablets in blisters, and the presence of foreign contaminants. The high-resolution X-ray images ensure reliable inspection of the small items at belt speed up to 90 m/min.

  • 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.
