Combined visual and container closure integrity testing for vials

Ensure the integrity and quality of parenteral packages by integrating precise visual inspection and container closure integrity testing in one streamlined, high-throughput solution.

Integrates Inspection and Testing for Parenteral Containers

The VARIO MTX and DUO MTX from WILCO AG are modular inspection platforms designed for pharmaceutical and biotech industries, offering unparalleled versatility in parenteral packaging quality control. These systems incorporate various inspection technologies, such as the LFC method®, Vacuum and Pressure Decay, Headspace Analysis, and Automated Visual Inspection, enabling customized setups to meet specific production needs. Ideal for a wide range of applications, including injectable vaccines and lyophilized vials, they handle glass and plastic containers efficiently. With a throughput of up to 600 units per minute, these platforms integrate seamlessly into high-capacity lines. Fully automated and supported by GMP and 21 CFR part 11 compliance, they offer smooth container handling and quick, toolless format changeovers. The systems are designed considering operational efficiency and cleaning requirements in mind, featuring a compact footprint and hygienic design suitable for controlled environments. Optional integration of additional modules, such as 2D DataMatrix Code readers and NIRS for residual moisture detection, caters to detailed product specifications and enhances overall productivity.

Benefits
