Headspace gas analyzer for large volume parenterals

Ensure the sterility and quality of injectable pharmaceuticals with precise headspace analysis, detecting gas concentrations and potential leaks in various packaging formats to safeguard product integrity.

Measures Gas Concentrations in Pharmaceutical Packaging

The NEO HSX series from WILCO AG is designed for precision headspace gas analysis in pharmaceutical packaging. Utilizing laser absorption spectroscopy, this equipment ensures non-destructive measurement of critical gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. It’s ideal for small and large volume parenterals, BFS cards, and IV bags, maintaining container closure integrity across various packaging solutions.

The NEO HSX DUO features dual laser heads for simultaneous O2 and CO2 detection, enhancing productivity and precision with up to 50% reduced standard deviation through fourth-generation laser technology. Operations are simplified with the user-friendly MAVIS system, guiding operators through processes with an intuitive interface and LED status indicators.

The NEO HSX series supports both manual and automated testing, allowing seamless integration into quality control laboratories. It aligns with GMP standards and is 21 CFR Part 11 compliant, ensuring regulatory adherence. The system’s modular nature allows customization, with exchangeable sample holders for flexibility in testing, and integrated process safety features like a position monitoring system. This makes it a versatile choice for pharmaceutical manufacturers, biotechnology companies, CDMOs, and quality control laboratories seeking accurate headspace analysis and integrity assurance in their production lines.

Benefits

  • Ensures precise quality control through accurate and simultaneous gas measurement, reducing the risk of contamination in pharmaceuticals.
  • Enhances production efficiency with rapid measurement capabilities, facilitating swift transfer of test methods to high-speed production lines.
  • Minimizes operator error with an intuitive interface and guided user system, ensuring consistent testing outcomes.
  • Increases flexibility in testing diverse pharmaceutical packaging, supporting both liquid and gas product types.
  • Complies with stringent industry standards, such as GMP and 21 CFR Part 11, ensuring regulatory adherence and product safety.
