| Description |
| Discover how microscopic leaks can compromise sterile barriers, allowing microorganisms to enter packaging systems and cause sterility failures. Even defects invisible to visual inspection can enable microbial ingress over time, especially during storage and transportation. This underscores the importance of sensitive and deterministic Container Closure Integrity Testing (CCIT) methods, which can reliably detect very small leaks. By identifying these defects early, manufacturers can reduce contamination risk, protect product quality, and ensure consistent sterility assurance throughout the product lifecycle. |
