USP Chapter 1207 – CCIT Methods
USP Chapter 1207 provides an overview of common CCIT tests and categorises them as being deterministic or probabilistic. The chapter states a preference for deterministic tests on the basis that they are non-invasive, produce repeatable and predictable results and are suited to 100% testing.
In our latest blog post ‘USP 1207 – Opening the CCIT Toolbox’ we give a summary of the different test methods cited in chapter 1207, including suitable applications and pros and cons of the different techniques including:
Probabilistic tests
- Blue Dye Test
- Bubble emission: ASTM D3078-02 (2013)
- Microbial challenge by immersion
- Tracer gas detection, sniffer mode: F2391 − 05 (2016)
Deterministic tests
- Electrical conductivity and capacitance test (HVLD)
- Headspace Gas Analysis
- Vacuum decay: F2338-09 (2013)
- Pressure decay
- Tracer gas (vacuum mode): F2391 − 05 (2016)
- Mass extraction: F3287 – 17e1
