Vial Seal Integrity Tester

Vials are primarily used for packaging sterile injectables, powder injections, and other sterile pharmaceuticals. If the vial's seal is inadequate and leakage occurs, the drug may react with external air, potentially leading to deterioration, oxidation, or contamination, thereby affecting the drug's quality and efficacy. 

The powder vial seal integrity tester is a professional inspection device used to detect the sealing performance of powder vials. The following content provides a detailed overview of the vial seal tester:

I. Introduction to the Vial Seal Integrity Tester

The powder vial seal integrity tester is an instrument used to evaluate the sealing integrity of powder vials. Given the widespread use of powder vials in pharmaceutical packaging, their sealing performance directly impacts drug quality and patient safety.

Therefore, ensuring the sealing integrity of powder vials is crucial. This seal tester simulates specific conditions (such as negative pressure or vacuum environments) to detect any leaks in the vial, thereby assessing its sealing performance.

II. Testing Principles

1. Negative Pressure Water Bath Method:

Principle: Based on the pressure difference between the liquid itself and the external environment to determine the sealing capability of the test sample.

Operation Process: Place the test sample into the seal testing device, create a certain negative pressure in the sealed tank through negative pressure suction, and immerse the vial into the tank. Observe whether bubbles appear in the sealed tank to determine the sealing integrity.

Advantages: High precision and accuracy, simple testing process, easy operation, short testing time, and high reliability.

2. Vacuum Decay Method:

Principle: Uses a vacuum pump to evacuate the test chamber to a vacuum state, monitoring the rate and volume of gas leakage from the vial to assess its sealing performance.

Operation Process: Place the vial to be tested in the test chamber, evacuate it, and then monitor for leaks.

Advantages: High-precision measurement, automated operation, multiple testing modes, and robust data processing capabilities.
