Superior Non-Destructive Leak Detection
Verify the Integrity of Your Packaging
Why does leak detection matter? As part of good manufacturing practice (GMP) requirements, all pharmaceutical packaging needs to be tested for leaks. If your packaging leaks and the product becomes exposed to oxygen or moisture from the outside environment, it can degrade the quality of your product, and the shelf life can decrease dramatically. We’ve partnered with Sepha Ltd., to provide non-destructive leak testing equipment for pharmaceutical packages.
For over 50 years, Thomas Packaging has been one of the leading members of the pharmaceutical packaging industry. We understand how essential it is to have packaging test methods you can count on to maintain your quality. Beyond that, we also see the value of non-destructive leak detection to prevent the waste of your products. Protect the integrity of your products and ensure the effectiveness of your packaging with our professional assistance.
In traditional facilities, drug manufacturers test their packs for leaks by putting them in water baths or blue dye baths. These packaging testers then wait and observe to see if liquid makes its way into the package. These testing methods are subjective and add the variables of the operator’s skills to the results. It is also destructive because leaks or no leaks, the samples used in the test have to be destroyed.
Most drugs are expensive to produce, and destroying them is a significant cost to the manufacturers. These leak test systems offer a non-destructive solution for your packaging testing. Ensure the quality of your seal and package without having to waste or destroy your products. This non-destructive technique is the modern approach to getting peace of mind at a lower cost to your operations.
These leak detectors are a powerful alternative to methods such as blue dye or water baths. These devices offer an objective, reliable, and cost-effective process for identifying leaks in blister packs. Your team gets a clear result for every blister package, and the software can pinpoint the particular cavity with the leak. The old methods of water leak detection were not enough for the level quality assurance that you and your customers deserve.
