Flawless ampoules

Ampoule inspection is a critical part of pharmaceutical quality assurance. Ampoules are small glass containers used to store medicines, vaccines and other liquid products under sterile conditions. Accurate and reliable ampoule inspection helps ensure product safety, prevent defects and support efficient production.

OCTUM’s ampoule.inspect systems provide high-precision ampoule inspection for defects such as air bubbles, sink marks, burn marks, unsealed ampoules, pointed ampoules and broken ampoules. Thanks to efficient format adjustment via the inspection software and height-adjustable camera and lighting technology, the systems offer flexible inspection of ISO ampoules.

Integrated directly into filling and sealing machines, OCTUM’s ampoule inspection solutions inspect ampoules immediately after sealing and cooling. This helps detect defective ampoules early, improve process reliability and reduce the risk of injury.
