Non-destructive headspace analyzer for pharmaceutical packages

Ensuring the integrity of pharmaceutical packages, especially those with modified headspace conditions, is crucial for maintaining drug stability and sterility. Traditional inspection methods often fall short in providing non-destructive, precise and rapid analysis without compromising the packages or products.

Perform non-destructive headspace analysis

The SPECTRA HSX by Wilco is designed for non-destructive Headspace Analysis in pharmaceutical packages such as vials, ampoules, and syringes. It utilizes an advanced laser system for detecting gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide, ensuring nitrogen purging efficiency and verifying vacuum conditions with high sensitivity. Up to ten test heads can be integrated, enhancing throughput and sensitivity. The platform also supports the integration of Near-Infrared (NIR) spectroscopy for moisture detection in lyophilized products, and barcode readers for container identification, providing a comprehensive inspection solution. The system is built to comply with GMP guidelines and offers an integrated online calibration tool for consistent process reliability.

Benefits

  • Non-destructive testing preserving the pharmaceutical package integrity
  • High throughput with up to 500 samples per minute
  • Accurate detection of multiple gases with advanced laser technology
  • Optional integration with additional inspection methods such as NIR spectroscopy
  • Automatic calibration ensuring reliable readings during long production runs
