PT-LT Leak Test Apparatus The PT-LT is used to test for the integrity of packed strips, blisters and small sachets containing tablets, granulates, liquids and so on. The instrument is used to test the quality of the packaging process and to check that the seals enclosing the product are perfectly intact. The PT-LT leak tester is designed to find the smallest holes and imperfections in blister packs and other semi-rigid product packaging. It is designed in compliance to the USP monograph <1146>. Test Procedure The leak test apparatus is widely applied in the pharmaceutical industry for checking strips, blisters and bottles containing tablets, capsules, syrups and so on. It also find application in the food industry where it can be effectively used to check the air-tightness of sweet packets, ready-to-eat pre-packed foods, confectionery packaging, packs of noodles, sauces to name but a few. Samples are placed into the desiccator’s housing and the lid is placed in position. The pump starts to produce a vacuum inside the desiccators and the vacuum is held for a pre-set time.

PT-LT - Leak Test Apparatus The first issue is that he tested package should keep its shape during this test; otherwise the sealing is not correct. Secondly, as the package is immersed in a colored dye solution (normally Methylene Blue), the venting of the desiccators will allow any holes to be penetrated by the dye and the contents of the flexible packaging will also be stained with the same coloring material. Similarly small bottles can also be tested. A sheet of paper will absorb any leaking fluid Operating Principle The operation of the PT-LT leak tester could not be any easier. Once on and...
