Container Closure Integrity Testing Chamber
Container Closure Integrity Testing is a critical Quality Control process used mostly by the pharmaceutical and biotech industries and many food industries. This quality control process ensures the safety and quality of closed containers and its ability to stay closed and maintain seal integrity throughout the life of the product. There are several ways to and methods used in the Container Closure Integrity testing. One of the most effective is the use of a vacuum chamber for several reasons. First, a vacuum chamber can be used to perform Dye Ingress Testing. Second, a vacuum chamber can be used for Vacuum Decay Testing. Third, a vacuum chamber can be used for heat seal integrity testing. And fourth, a vacuum chamber can be used as a vacuum bubble leak test.

A pharmaceutical company reached out to us because they wanted to have the ability to perform Container Closure Integrity Testing on a wide range of their products. They specifically asked for a vacuum chamber because of the four ways a vacuum chamber can be utilized in such test. We provided them with a cost-effective solution which we think should be present in any pharmaceutical company which is our top loading, spring supported hinged door; which keeps the lid open hands free, allowing the operator to operate the chamber with both hands without having to worry about the lid slamming back. The chamber inside dimensions are 10 inch Wide, 10 inch Deep, and 10 inch High. As a standard, each of our vacuum chambers comes with a vacuum valve, venting valve, and a dial vacuum gauge.

Various Regulatory agencies will ask you about your Container Closure Integrity Testing Protocols. If you are serious about product quality and are looking for a vacuum chamber to take product quality to the next level, reach out to us to see what we can make for you.

Vacuum Bubble Emission ASTM 3078 Leak Testing Systems
Bubble Emission (ASTM 3078) Leak Testing Systems are instruments that are used during the Quality Control process discover and locate leaks or seal integrity failures. Leaks are detected by submerging the specimen into a tank of water, applying a vacuum, and inspecting the submersed specimen for bubble emission. Our Bubble Leak Testing Systems are designed and built to conform to the ASTM D3078 protocol standard.
Piston Vacuum Pumps
Piston Vacuum Pumps are devices that generate a vacuum through the workings of an internal piston. Several advantages of a piston pump include, low maintenance, no oil mist emission since it’s an oil free vacuum pump – the shortcoming are not as high of vacuum levels and volumetric flow.
Our Work: Nuclear Imaging Research using Acrylic Vacuum Chamber
Nuclear imaging is quickly becoming more and more sophisticated and images unimaginable twenty years ago are become reality – think about the recent image of a single atom. Nuclear imaging is detection is a highly technological field.

An Acrylic Vacuum Chamber can be used to simulate elevation very reliably to altitudes up to 60.9 km or 200,000 feet. This provides several advantages over other testing methods as acrylic is transparent and enables full view of interior during testing. In this article, we will give you a through guide on what can be done to eliminate the risk of packaging damage during shipments at high altitudes.
