ELT-201WP leak tester: Ensuring pharmaceutical package integrity

In the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring package integrity is vital to protecting the quality, safety, and efficacy of a product. The ELT-201WP leak tester is an advanced solution, specifically designed to detect the smallest leaks in packaging, helping manufacturers comply with stringent standards and providing absolute peace of mind.

This instrument is the ideal tool for testing the integrity of common packaging types such as strips, blisters, small sachets, and ampoules, fully meeting the specifications of the United States Pharmacopeia (USP).

Superior features of the ELT-201WP leak tester

The ELT-201WP is equipped with numerous intelligent features that make the testing process simple, accurate, and highly repeatable.

• Industry standard compliance: The instrument is designed to meet the requirements of the USP standard for package integrity testing.

• Oil-less vacuum pump: Utilizes a modern, oil-free vacuum pump, ensuring clean and quiet operation while minimizing maintenance needs.

• Intelligent control: A 5.7-inch graphical touch screen allows users to easily program the vacuum level and hold time.

• Accurate results: The slow venting feature provides better observation of results, especially for detecting microscopic leaks.

• Method management: Allows for the programming and storage of 20 methods and 20 product data sets, enabling quick switching between tests.

• Embedded printer: The “WP” (With Printer) model comes equipped with a 40-column thermal printer for immediate validation report printouts, supporting both Serial and LAN connectivity.

• Automatic Pass/Fail evaluation: Users can set a tolerance range for the instrument to automatically provide a Pass/Fail result, eliminating subjective assessment.

Detailed specifications

Versatile chamber options and accessories

To meet diverse testing needs, the ELT-201WP can be paired with a wide range of vacuum desiccators/chambers of various sizes, from 250mm, 300mm, to 400mm diameters with different heights. Additionally, the instrument can be upgraded with advanced software solutions like connexion+ and Sentin Ai for enhanced data management and system integration.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

H3: How does the ELT-201WP leak tester work?

The instrument operates by creating a vacuum within a chamber containing the sample. If the package has a leak, the pressure differential will cause air from inside the package to escape in the form of a stream of bubbles (when the sample is submerged in water), thereby detecting the presence and location of the leak.

H3: Why is an oil-less vacuum pump an advantage?

An oil-less vacuum pump eliminates the risk of oil contaminating the test chamber, ensuring a clean working environment. It also reduces noise and does not require users to periodically check and change oil, saving time and maintenance costs.

H3: Does the ELT-201WP meet USP standards?

Yes, the instrument is designed and manufactured to meet the requirements and specifications outlined in the United States Pharmacopeia (USP) for the vacuum pressure leak test method.

H3: What does “WP” in the model name ELT-201WP stand for?

“WP” stands for “With Printer.” This indicates that this model comes with an embedded thermal printer, allowing for the convenient printing of results and validation reports.
