Product catalog summary
Overview
Pfeiffer Vacuum offers a high-performance Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT) solution for the pharmaceutical industry using helium mass spectrometry. This technology is crucial for ensuring drug stability by preventing contamination from humidity, oxygen, or microbiological ingress.

Specifications
The ASM 2000 system is designed for non-porous packaging such as vials, syringes, and cartridges. It uses helium mass spectrometry based on ASTM F 2391-05 standards, providing high sensitivity and the ability to locate leaks.

Customer Benefits
  • High sensitivity measurements for container design and validation.
  • Turnkey solution with helium leak detector and charging module.
  • User-friendly interface with fast, automatic test sequences.
  • Data storage and traceability with sniffer mode for leak localization.

Key Features
  • High helium pumping and automatic charging module.
  • Optimized for high throughput and accurate measurements.
  • Advanced software with intuitive menus and multiple access levels.

Operation
  • Specific tooling for container design with automatic test sequences.
  • Test duration is typically less than 20 seconds.
  • Vacuum test chamber with a maximum volume of 3 liters.

Technical Data
  • Test methods include vacuum and sniffing leak detection.
  • Measurement range for helium is 10-8 to 10-3 mbar l/s.
  • Power supply requirements are 90-250 V AC / 50-60 Hz.
  • Operating conditions: Temperature 15-25°C, Humidity 30-80%.

Conclusion
The ASM 2000 provides a comprehensive solution for the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring the integrity of drug packaging through advanced helium mass spectrometry. It offers high sensitivity, fast testing, and reliable data management, making it an essential tool for maintaining drug safety and efficacy.

Equivalence between defect size & air leak rate Leak rate versus defect size Historically, dye ingress testing has been the container closure integrity test of choice. The detection limit of this method is around 20 μm. Since the test is strictly visual, the detection limit has experimentally been determined by using orifices of known diameter. As a consequence, tightness criteria in pharmaceutical industry are usually expressed as an equivalent hole diameter in μm. However, an equivalent hole diameter is not enough to define the tightness criterion of a packaging. Depending on the diameter of...
