Helium Leak Testing Lyophilizers

Pharmaceutical freeze dryers and lyophilizers should be leak tested to maintain the integrity of their vacuum systems and refrigeration systems as well as any freeze drying sub-systems such as process vessels, chambers, condensers, vacuum isolation valves, vacuum lines & vacuum seals.Our technicians helium leak test lyophilizers to check for gross leaks in the freeze dryer vessel itself, which can prevent the vessel from reaching the pressure necessary for proper operations.

The primary and secondary drying phases of the lyophilization cycle must take place in a vacuum. The lyophilization process occurs in an evacuated vessel which must maintain the sterility of the product in the vacuum. We can helium leak test lyophilizers to measure the tightness of the system and detect and measure any inleakage that might affect product sterility.We helium leak test lyophilizers for small leaks that allow the system to operate but reduce its efficiency. These leaks can be due to flaws in the vacuum lines, gas supply, compressors, condensers, valves.
