Automated headspace analyzer for small volume parenterals
Optimize container closure integrity with high-speed, non-destructive analysis ensuring your pharmaceutical products meet stringent quality standards while maintaining production efficiency.

Performs Non-Destructive Headspace Analysis
The SPECTRA HSX Series from WILCO AG offers robust and precise headspace analysis for pharmaceutical packages such as vials, ampoules, and syringes. This series includes the SPECTRA HSX 100, 300, and 500 models, designed to meet varying production speeds and demands. These analyzers perform non-destructive testing to ensure container closure integrity and assess gas conditions like oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. Capable of integrating up to ten test heads, the SPECTRA HSX 500 achieves a throughput of 500 samples per minute, making it ideal for continuous, high-speed operations. Optional integration with NIR spectroscopy and visual inspection systems enhances versatility, while compliance with GMP standards ensures adherence to pharmaceutical industry requirements. The equipment supports seamless integration into production lines with PLC control and data handling compliant with 21 CFR Part 11. Options for stainless steel construction provide durability and corrosion resistance, crucial for maintaining operational integrity in demanding environments.
