To ensure container closure integrity, PTI - Packaging Technologies & Inspection, with headquarters in Hawthorne, New York, has created and developed seven different inspection technology platforms. The technology solutions provided by PTI are centered on container closure integrity and give a deterministic measurement of package performance needed by critical applications.

• Vacuum Decay technology for pharmaceutical package inspection.
• Airborne Ultrasound technology for seal quality testing and analysis.
• MicroCurrent HVLD technology for high-risk parenteral applications.
• OptiPac volumetric imaging inspection technology for blister packaging.
• Automated container closure integrity testing CCIT solutions.

While operating under heightened legal and regulatory scrutiny, the pharmaceutical industry continues to be at the forefront of innovation in the domains of new drugs and drug delivery techniques. It is crucial that these products have extremely sterile packaging because they are used for life-saving purposes and must be completely free of contaminants for the duration of their shelf life until they reach the patient. PTI Inspection Systems' tools for testing pharmaceutical packaging are the most sensitive, dependable, and effective. PTI technologies produce quantitative test result information and are deterministic, non-destructive test methods.

The biotech sector encompasses a wide range of medical techniques, including tissue regeneration, genetic editing, and stem cell therapy. Parenteral packaging, such as pre-filled syringes, vials, IV bags, and other single-use bags, are generally used to package these medications. Testing the integrity of container closures is crucial for guaranteeing the quality of all biologics, especially parenterals. PTI's technologies are the most dependable and trustworthy options available for pharmaceutical and biotech packaging applications where the results have a significant impact on stability tests, clinical trials, production performance, and patient safety.

The medical device sector is critical to the health care system since it is involved in the delivery of numerous health care services. Over the last few decades, remarkable advances in medical technology have posed a challenge to the medical device packaging industr in terms of ensuring packaging quality and reliability. Although assessing package quality is crucial for all medical devices, it is especially critical for Class III medical device products. Therefore appropriate package integrity testing technologies are needed to ensure standardized packaging quality.

The nutritional market is progressive and dynamic and nutritional packages play a vital role in delivering the product safely. Most of the nutritional products are shelf-stable in nature and this is often the function of package performance. All nutritional products are subject to innate chemical reactions. Products deteriorate with the exposure to oxygen, moisture and bacteria. PTI has decades of experience designing technologies to inspect food and nutrition packages in the most efficient way possible while ensuring package and product quality. PTI is a pioneer in meeting the needs of infant nourishment packaging applications as well as the demanding specifications of this high-risk product.

PTI provides a comprehensive range of technologies for the industries indicated above. However, it is important to note that there are no one-size-fits-all solutions. Technologies that work in one field may not work in another. As a result, before finalizing any technology, manufacturers should assess industry requirements.
