Automated container closure integrity tester

Ensure the integrity of your sterile pharmaceutical containers with high-speed, non-destructive testing that detects leaks as small as 5 microns.

Performs High-Speed Leak Testing

The R DPX from WILCO AG is an automated Container Closure Integrity Tester engineered for stringent pharmaceutical and biotech applications. Leveraging the latest vacuum and pressure decay testing methods, it delivers high sensitivity leak detection for diverse primary containers, including vials, ampoules, and BFS products. Operating at speeds up to 600 samples per minute, it ensures seamless integration within high-speed production lines, adhering to GMP guidelines and utilizing the LFC method® for 100% non-destructive testing. Its toolless format changeover and compliance with 21 CFR part 11 streamline operations and data handling, while its adaptability to a wide range of product types—liquid, lyophilized, and solid—makes it indispensable for manufacturers focused on maintaining sterility and compliance.

Benefits

  • Enhances product integrity by detecting leaks as small as 5 microns.
  • Minimizes production stops with reliable and gentle product handling.
  • Accelerates format changes with a tool-free system, reducing downtime.
  • Ensures regulatory compliance with non-destructive, deterministic testing methods.
  • Supports diverse production needs, handling various container shapes and product types.
