PHARMACEUTICAL INSPECTION SOLUTIONS

  • Accelerate compliance with CCI methods that deliver reproducible results, ultra-sensitive leak detection, and global regulatory alignment to ensure product integrity while reducing risk and delays.

  • Anritsu's aerosol checkweigher is engineered for accurate weighing of aerosol cans in pharmaceutical applications. It features a star wheel mechanism that feeds cans onto the weigh table at a constant speed and with uniform spacing. This design, combined with a high precision electromagnetic weigh cell, ensures a throughput of up to 150 cans per minute, with a weighing accuracy of ± 10 mg. The checkweigher has a compact footprint, integrating within the same frame a reject mechanism and confirmation function, ensuring that only correctly weighed products pass through. Underweight and overweight cans are automatically directed into two separate bins located beneath the weigh table. The system is compliant with federal regulation 21 CFR Part 11 for the integrity of electronic records and signatures, with features such as password authentication, audit trail of operation data, and encryption/decryption of exported data.

  • 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.

  • 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.
