VeriPac Series is a non-destructive inspection system for highly sensitive micro leak detection of empty & prefilled syringes, liquid filled & lyophilized vials and other liquid filled packaging.
The VeriPac 465 performs leak detection based on the basic principles of physics and does not require the use of trace gasses or sample preparation to perform the test. The VeriPac 465 core technology is based on the ASTM vacuum decay leak test method (F2338-24) recognized by the FDA as a consensus standard for package integrity testing.
This test method was developed using VeriPac leak test instruments. The VeriPac 465 combines technological innovation and practical adjustments to patented dual vacuum transducer technology, PERMA-VAC, to make it the most sensitive and versatile vacuum-based leak detection technology to date. Through the introduction of unique test cycles, pneumatic controls and processing algorithms, the VeriPac 465 is establishing itself as the foremost vacuum-based leak test for parenteral products.
VeriPac leak testers connect to a test chamber that is specially designed to contain the package to be tested. The package is placed inside the test chamber to which vacuum is applied. The single or dual vacuum transducer technology is used to monitor the test chamber for both the level of vacuum as well as the change in vacuum over a predetermined test time. The changes in absolute and differential vacuum indicate the presence of leaks and defects within the package. The sensitivity of a test is a function of the package design, the package test fixture and critical test parameters of time and pressure. Test systems can be designed for manual or fully automated operation. This inspection method is suitable for laboratory offline testing and production applications for QA/QC statistical process control. The test cycle takes only a few seconds, is non-invasive and non-destructive to both product and package.
