PULSAR Pressure/Moisture Headspace Analyzer
The PULSAR Headspace Inspection platform is an automated in-line 100% inspection machine designed to simultaneously monitor oxygen, pressure, and moisture levels in sealed parenteral containers. The patented machine platform was originally developed with funding from the Food and Drug Administration and received the 2004 Parenteral Drug Association New Innovative Technology Award.
The PULSAR/P In-Line Pressure/Moisture Inspection System is an in-line, 100% inspection and rejection system that can be configured for the simultaneous inspection of headspace pressure and moisture. Designed for monitoring nitrogen pressure and/or vacuum levels in sealed parenteral containers as a means of leak detection, the PULSAR/P System is also capable of simultaneously measuring headspace moisture levels for 100% moisture inspection of freeze dried vials.
- Measurement Range : 0 to 1.0 atm (pressure)
- Throughput : 200 vials per minute
- Container sizes : 1 to 200 ml
- Container Compatibility : Tubing or molded; amber or clear
Applications Include:
- In-line 100% container closure integrity testing, vacuum leak detection
- Real-time monitoring of oxygen levels during the filling of oxygen-sensitive product
- In-line 100% moisture inspection of freeze dried vials
The non-destructive nature of the measurement enables a full statistical documentation of system performance.
