Non-destructive Inspection Technologies for Pharmaceutical and Medical Packages

Co-sponsored by: SP01 and School of Computer Sciences and Engineering, FDU

Non-destructive inspection technologies and systems provide repeatable, reliable results and can be integrated into protocols at any point in the manufacturing process as they are non-destructive, non-subjective and require no sample preparation. This presentation will provide profound understanding of importance of package integrity and inspection technologies for pharmaceutical and medical device industries. The most popular traditional (usually destructive methods) and current (focuses on the non-destructive approaches) technologies will be introduced and compared. The talk will also give some brief about major technologies that PTI are carrying now. Finally, the current and future challenges in this demanding field will be addressed.

Speaker(s): Dr. Wenliang Chen,
