Leak Test in the Pharmaceutical Packaging Industry

Absorption spectroscopy to measure oxygen and moisture in glass ampoules. 

Our tasks:  

  • Development of technology to measure gaseous oxygen and water vapour using wavelength modulation laser spectroscopy   
  • Development of an application for non-destructive, 100% in-line process and quality monitoring in the pharmaceutical packaging industry (lyophilized drugs and vaccines under protective gas or a partial vacuum in order to improve suitability for storage and the shelf-life of the products)   

Performance features:   

  • Non-destructive, 100% in-line tests 
  • Standard containers (blow-molded glass, vials, clear or amber) 
  • Low false acceptance rate with a high throughput
  • Harsh environmental conditions (production plants)
