West offers platform Helium Leak Detection and Laser-based Gas Headspace Analysis test methods to evaluate inherent package integrity and to identify transient leaks that can occur during ultra-cold shipping and storage. Testing can be performed at a number of storage temperatures ranging from -180°C to 40°C, fitting the needs for a wide variety of products and packages. We are able to perform CCI analysis at the below temperature conditions in real time, providing an accurate CCI assessment:
- Ambient
- Refrigerated (2-8°C)
- Frozen:
- -20°C
- -80°C
- -120°C
- -180°C (Vapor Phase Liquid Nitrogen)
As packaging systems become more complex and research continues to develop new biologics, the ability to store container systems in a comparable way to their lifecycle storage is of the utmost importance.
