Gasporox showcasing advanced inspection solutions at WestPack California

Lund, Sweden: – Non-destructive testing technology specialist Gasporox AB will showcase its leading edge non-destructive testing solutions at the upcoming WestPack packaging expo on the US West Coast.

Gasporox will use its debut at this major event to demonstrate how its advanced pharmaceutical inspection solutions fit into the emerging real time monitoring and sterile manufacturing regulatory environments.

Non-intrusive headspace gas analysis

Gasporox will be an exhibitor at the event from Stand 5524 at California’s giant Anaheim Convention Center as part of the huge combined IME West pharma industry event. Its display will include live demonstrations of its benchtop GPX1500 Vial and GPX 1500 Film Food instrument that can be used for real time non-intrusive headspace gas inspection, along with the revolutionary VialArch® headspace analysis sensor module that can easily be incorporated into packing lines.

The stand will also show audio/visual displays providing insights into Gasporox systems and applications, including the highly innovative Tuneable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology for non-destructive container closure integrity testing (CCIT) and residual oxygen headspace testing in containers or parenteral packaging such as vials or ampoules.

Emerging regulations

Demonstrations will be hosted by the Gasporox stand and event team headed by Senior Application and Sales Manager Roland Koch, along with Sales Manager Niklas Bohlin, an expert in application of Gasporox solutions to food production.

Mr. Koch said Gasporox’s presence at IME West would present the company with major opportunities to connect with potential customers and partners while also raising its brand profile in North America. He pointed out its solutions were highly compliant with the emerging US FDA regulatory environment featuring GMP Annex 1 and USP 1207 container integrity guidelines.

“This is a very exciting and impressive event and Gasporox is delighted to become part of it,” said Mr. Koch.

About Gasporox

Gasporox, based in Lund in southern Sweden, develops and manufactures laser-based sensors for integration into in-line inspection and production lines for Headspace Analysis and Leak Detection. Gasporox sensors are also available in various instruments ideal for quality control and at-line inspection of packaging and support many different package formats as highly effective tools for more efficient sample testing and greener production.

The VialArch® is a unique laser-based solution for vials to be installed on the production line for 100% quality inspection for residual oxygen and container closure integrity testing. The laser beam is passing the headspace of the moving vials to perform laser-based headspace analysis (HSA), non-destructive and with precise measurements of the residual oxygen in the headspace.

The GPX1500 Film Pharma is a compact and easy to use instrument to measure accurate the headspace of pharmaceutical bags and pouches. It’s designed to operate parameter free to have a reliable and accurate use in the pharmaceutical production and lab. The GPX1500 Vial is the Film Pharma’s sibling for rigid containers, like vials and ampoules.

The available Headspace Analysis sensors work with many types of containers like vials, ampoules, bottles, bags and trays and are available for measuring O₂, CO₂, H₂O, or the pressure inside the inspected container and are suitable for Leak Detection on packages like trays, bags. These sensors can be integrated into production machines and also form the basis for stand-alone instruments.

Gasporox technology has been proven for performance and robustness over more than a decade in the pharmaceutical industry in the testing of parenteral drugs. It is integrated and used in machines, systems and instruments for total lab and production testing of vials and ampoules in many parenteral packaging lines.

Gasporox testing technologies are non-destructive and deterministic and recommended by <USP1207>.
