Natural Defects Positive Control

Natural Defect Positive Controls are purpose-built samples containing engineered flaws that replicate typical defects occurring during manufacturing, or transit—such as glass micro-cracks, stopper scratches, incomplete crimps, or syringe component gaps. They bridge the gap between controlled laboratory testing and real-world package failure risks.

Typical Applications

Core Value

Since real leaks are seldom perfect holes, regulators emphasize detecting "probable defects." Our positive controls address this need directly.

 

○ Real-World Relevance: Confirms your CCIT method can detect challenging, non-ideal defect types that pose actual risks, strengthening your validation package.

 

○ Process Risk Insight: Helps identify vulnerabilities in your packaging process. For example, simulators modeling "over-compressed stoppers" can verify the safety of capper settings.

 

○ Faster Root-Cause Analysis: Provides a comparative testing for investigating production leaks, accelerating troubleshooting and corrective actions.

 

Complete Solution


We support the custom development of defect simulators based on your specific failure history or concerns, helping you close the loop between testing data and production quality improvements.

  • Frequently Asked Questions
  • Q:

    Can one instrument test different package sizes?

    A:

    Yes. Different package sizes and shapes can be tested by changing the test chamber, fixture or sample holder.

  • Q:

    Can the system test pharmaceutical vials?

    A:

    Yes. Vacuum decay testing can be configured for vials containing powder, lyophilized products or medicinal liquids. A package-specific chamber is normally required.

  • Q:

    Which mode should be used for flexible packaging?

    A:

    Pressure decay is generally more suitable for flexible packages that may deform significantly when exposed to vacuum. The final method should be confirmed through package evaluation and feasibility testing.
