Introducing New PT-LT100 Leak Tester
The PT-LT100 leak tester is used to test for the integrity of packed strips, blisters and small sachets containing tablets, granulates, liquids and so on.
The instrument is used to test the quality of the packaging process and to check that the seals enclosing the product are perfectly intact.
PT-LT100 is designed to find the smallest holes and imperfections in blister packs and other semi-rigid product packaging. It is fully compliant to the current USP <1146> monograph.
Leak testing is widely applied in the pharmaceutical industry to check strips, blisters and bottles containing tablets, capsules, syrups and similar. It also finds application in the food industry, where it can be effectively used to check the airtightness of sweet packets, ready-to-eat pre-packed foods, confectionery packaging, packs of noodles or sauces. Samples are placed into the desiccator’s housing and the lid is placed in position. The pump starts to produce a vacuum inside the desiccators and the vacuum is held for a pre-set time.
The first thing to observe is that he tested package should keep its shape during this test; otherwise, the sealing is not correct. Secondly, as the package is immersed in a colored dye solution (normally Methylene Blue), the venting of the desiccators will allow any holes to be penetrated by the dye and the contents of the flexible packaging will also be stained with the same coloring material. Similarly small bottles can also be tested. A sheet of paper will absorb any leaking fluid.
