Package integrity is defined as a package’s ability to prevent product loss, maintain product sterility, and in some cases, prevent oxygen ingress or maintain sub-atmosphere headspace pressures.
This guide explains the concept of metal detector sensitivity, key factors that impact it, and why a small difference in spherical sensitivity performance can mean a big difference in contaminants detected.
This white paper provides an explanation of the differences between validation, verification and routine performance monitoring as well as an overview of recommended test methods for different types of metal detection systems.
Rapid water vapor determination with an optical method could replace the slow destructive traditional methods for the moisture analysis of freeze-dried product. A description of industry applications of headspace moisture analysis including freeze drying cycle optimization, lyo chamber moisture distribution mapping, and 100% moisture inspection of commercial freeze-dried product.
A vaccine-focused biotechnology company approached LIGHTHOUSE to help investigate a phenomenon observed in liquid vaccine product stored at -80°C. During QC testing, a number of vials were found to have an overpressure. This phenomenon represented a serious safety risk and LIGHTHOUSE was asked to support an investigation to identify the root cause.
Laser-based headspace provides yet another alternative approach for detecting microbial contamination in sterile pharmaceutical product allows for quicker, more sensitive, accurate, and reproducible test results when compared with conventional, growth-based methods.
This application note describes how laser-based headspace analysis is used for the rapid non-destructive determination of headspace oxygen levels in pre-filled syringes. Data is presented demonstrating two major applications of this technique: 1) headspace oxygen monitoring on a pre-filled syringe line filling oxygen-sensitive product, and 2) container closure testing of pre-filled syringes.
Ideal medical devices and medical packaging leak testing. Unlike pressure decay, we offer a faster and higher sensitivity test as well as direct measurements that are not volume sensitive, allowing for less set up, no frequent calibration required, less qualification, and therefore, a more robust operation.
GlobalVision Color Inspection is the first digital inspection solution for color management for PDFs and printed components. The tool inspects colors and reports any differences outside a defined color threshold. Instead of manually checking colors by eye, users can detect and communicate color differences with color reports alongside their proofs for approval.
PTI has developed a new standard for protecting, storing and presenting data generated from its line of non-destructive leak testers in the form of a software package called PTI Ethos.
GlobalVision Text Inspection compares two unlike documents to manage the accuracy of text along the artwork, document, and packaging creation workflow. It’s perfect for making sure there aren’t any unintended changes as your text moves from your copy document to artwork to print.
Inspect digital artwork files and proofs pixel by pixel to an approved file to check for errors.
Inspect hardcopy proofs and packaging to an approved artwork file for errors.
Digitally verify, decode, and grade barcodes to make sure they’re correct and function properly.
Run efficient inspections on the web with our web-based deployment of all our quality inspection applications.
PTI Inspection Systems announces its latest industry driven technological development to advance the capabilities of package testing.
PTI recently formally announced the approval of ASTM Test Method F3004-13, a new non-destructive test method for “Evaluation of Seal Quality & Integrity using Airborne Ultrasound Technology.” Approval of this test method was based on PTI sponsored inter-laboratory research study utilizing PTI’s patented Seal-Scan technology.

PTI Sales Engineer, Rob Zecchin, at the recent Interphex event in New York City, demonstrated PTI’s E-Scan 655 MicroCurrent HVLD technology for Container Closure Integrity Testing.
An overview of color inspection software that will analyze color changes digitally and verify color accuracy before and during printing.
Seidenader's V90 Semi-Automatic Inspection offers the highest qualiity of parenteral product inspection, coupled with the versatility of human intervention.
It is important that each link in the tracking chain speaks the same language, regardless of whether it is hardware, such as labelling devices and inspection systems, or software, such as those used for production line management.
The VeriPac UBV utilizes volumetric imaging under vacuum to detect the presence of leaks. It’s a simple, rapid 3-step process to test a blister pack.
