Automated headspace analyzer for small volume parenterals
Ensuring the quality of pharmaceuticals, especially small volume parenterals (SVPs), is critical. Traditional methods for verifying headspace conditions and container closure integrity can be slow and destructive, which often leads to delays in production and potential product waste.
Non-destructive headspace analysis for Svps
The SPECTRA HSX platform by Wilco is an advanced inspection system designed for automated headspace analysis of pharmaceutical packages. Utilizing a highly sensitive laser system, it allows non-destructive testing of headspace conditions, making it ideal for applications such as nitrogen purging efficiency and vacuum verification. The modular design supports up to ten test heads, enhancing both throughput and sensitivity. Additional inspection technologies like NIR spectroscopy for moisture detection and barcode readers for container identification can be integrated. Available in three models—HSX 100, HSX 300, and HSX 500—this platform caters to different production speeds, with the HSX 500 handling up to 500 samples per minute.
