GPX1500 Film Pharma

Non-destructive Headspace Gas Analyser for flexible pharmaceutical containers

GPX1500 Film Pharma Instrument for headspace analysis of pharmaceutical flexible film packaging such as iv-bags.

Fast, Accurate, Non-intrusive, and Non-destructive

The GPX1500 Film Pharma is a compact headspace gas analyser engineered for non-destructive and non-intrusive headspace analysis (HSA) and container closure integrity testing (CCIT) of flexible pharmaceutical packaging.

It delivers accurate and repeatable measurements of oxygen (O₂) or carbon dioxide (CO₂) (depending on configuration), making it ideal for quality inspection of parenteral products such as IV-Bags, Large Volume Parenterals (LVP), and Small Volume Parenterals (SVP) across a wide range of flexible film formats.

Designed to inspect both primary and secondary packaging, the GPX1500 Film Pharma ensures product integrity, supports regulatory compliance, and enables efficient testing without compromising the container or product, vital for applications such as IV-bag inspection.

How does it work?

The GPX1500 Film Pharma uses advanced Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) to perform fast, accurate, and non-destructive headspace gas analysis (HSA) and validate container closure integrity testing (CCIT) in flexible pharmaceutical packaging.

During operation, the package is placed on the instrument where the sensor head gently creates a vacuum on the film surface, forming a temporary bubble. A laser beam is transmitted through this bubble, allowing the system to analyze the gas content (oxygen or carbon dioxide) inside the sealed container. This process is fully non-invasive and ensures precise measurement using trusted Gasporox technology.

Applications for the GPX1500 Film Pharma

Compatible with a wide variety of flexible packaging formats, such as Parenteral Flexible Containers (PFC), single-use systems (SUS) the GPX1500 Film Pharma is ideal for pharmaceutical packaging verification in development, QC, and small-scale production environments.

The instrument is well suited for regulatory compliances that call for deterministic, non-destructive testing methods.

Available variations

  • GPX1500 Film Pharma O₂ – Measures oxygen (O₂) concentration in the headspace of sealed pharmaceutical containers. Ideal for oxygen-sensitive products requiring headspace gas analysis (HSA) and container closure integrity testing (CCIT).
  • GPX1500 Film Pharma CO₂ – Accurately measures carbon dioxide (CO₂) levels in the headspace, supporting quality control of products packaged in CO₂-modified atmospheres

Product-specific adaptations of the instrument are available on request.

    Available add-ons

    • Barcode scanner – An integrated barcode scanner add-on identifies the operator and product type before each measurement, automatically logging this information with the test results to ensure full traceability, accountability, and compliant data records.

      Technology

      The GPX1500 Film Pharma instruments are built on more than 25 years of development and refinement in industrial laser-based gas measurement. The system uses Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS), a highly reliable and precise method for non-destructive headspace gas analysis.

      Developed by Gasporox in collaboration with its technology partners, this laser sensor technology is widely used in demanding industries such as pharmaceuticals, petrochemicals, and energy.

      Gasporox’s laser-based headspace analysis has been successfully deployed for over a decade in pharmaceutical manufacturing. It is integrated into fully automated inspection systems and benchtop instruments for 100% in-line and laboratory testing of vials, ampoules, and other parenteral packaging formats. The performance and robustness of the system have been validated through extensive real-world use.
