Container Closure Integrity Testing Chamber
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.

Altitude Simulation Systems
Altitude simulation systems are devices that simulate a certain altitude equivalent by controlling the vacuum inside a vacuum chamber. Altitude is a function of absolute pressure, therefore if a certain pressure is accomplished inside a vacuum chamber, a specific altitude can be simulated from the set pressure. Altitude simulation systems can be configured to not only hold a certain pressure, a complete pressure vs time profile can be programmed to be run. Furthermore, pressure vs time recipes can be loaded and run based on test requirements.
Liquid and Gas Vacuum Feedthroughs
A Liquid and Gas Vacuum Feedthroughs are tubes that will allow you to run liquid or gas into your vacuum chamber without contaminating the vacuum levels or vacuum chamber in general. Say you are looking to run a coolant into the vacuum chamber and cool a component you are testing. You can simply install a liquid and gas vacuum feedthrough are run your coolant towards your test specimen.
Our Work: Vacuum Testing of Lithium Ion Batteries, Thin Film, Fuel Cells, Supercapacitors, and Nano materials
This vacuum chamber is a modification to our basic acrylic vacuum chamber 12 inch, removable lid model; except that our customer requested additional ports and electrical feed-through for testing of electrical equipment under vacuum. You know, I wish we would have asked them for more details on what they were doing with this chamber; their short and concise answer was that they were using our chamber to perform scientific work on the subjects of: lithium ion batteries, thin films, fuel cells, super-capacitors, and nano-materials testing in a vacuum environment.

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.
