Package integrity directly affects product sterility, stability and shelf life.
Leak testing methods must therefore be reliable, repeatable, and aligned with regulatory expectations.

CDV Pharma V&P supports pharmaceutical laboratories and quality teams in performing consistent package integrity testing across multiple packaging formats and test methods.

A versatile leak detection system for pharmaceutical applications

CDV Pharma V&P is a package integrity testing system designed to perform dye penetration, vacuum, and pressure-based leak tests. Its architecture integrates:

  • An optimized vacuum chamber for greater packaging flexibility.
  • An independent control module to improves delivery times, simplifies maintenance, and protects sensitive electronics from immersion fluids.
  • A PLC-based automation platform.

This design ensures process stability, protection of electronics, and operational flexibility in daily laboratory use.

Multiple leak test methods
One instrument

CDV Pharma V&P supports a wide range of package integrity test methods, including:

  • Dye penetration testing using methylene blue
  • Vacuum-based leak detection
  • Internal pressure testing
  • External pressure testing for increased sensitivity

With a single system, laboratories can perform different CCIT methods depending on package type and test objectives.
