Bottle Leak Testing Machine
Choosing the right bottle leak testing machine is key when developing and packaging drugs into bottles as the smallest contamination can affect the integrity of the tablets, capsules, powder or liquid that are being stored inside.
The Sepha Multi-Q is a non-destructive and deterministic CCIT solution that can identify defects as low as 5 micron in a range of glass and plastic bottles.
Depending on the content of the bottle, the system can work in combination with vacuum decay and pressure decay test methods, making it the ideal solution for stability testing, clinical trials, or in-process quality control testing.
The Multi-Q can be used for testing cap screw bottles (including child resistant closures), induction sealed bottles, droppers, ointment jars, vials and other bottles, in different shapes and sizes. Once it has been established the bottle has adequate headspace volume, our expert teams of engineers will design tooling and a method in line with the desired sensitivity requirements.
We have an extensive tooling library for standardised container sizes and can develop custom tooling for more complex bottles to ensure the container fits the test chamber with a tight tolerance. This is important as it reduces the head space within the vacuum chamber, resulting in a more accurate and robust test method.
Oral solid dosage bottles
The Multi-Q system is also compatible with induction-sealed bottles containing oral solid dose (OSD) products. Utilising vacuum decay, it identifies micron defects and gross holes to ensure seal integrity without damaging the bottle or product inside.
The bottle leak testing machine complies with 21 CFR Part 11, meets USP 1207 guidelines and is aligned with ASTM F2338-24 standard test method.
