An undetected leak can lead to product contamination, a shorter shelf life, and a health hazard.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #95cceb;\">Cosmetics and Fragrances<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nIntegrity testing of vials, blister packs, and packaging for personal care products. Immersion testing helps detect micro-leaks that are invisible to the naked eye before a product is released to the market.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #95cceb;\">Pharmaceutical<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nVerification of the integrity of primary packaging (bottles, vials, blister packs, sachets). Test traceability is ensured by the LNE\/COFRAC calibration certificate provided with the CTS-I, which complies with GMP requirements.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #95cceb;\">Manufacturing and Mechanical Assembly<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nLeak testing of enclosures, connectors, gaskets, and mechanical subassemblies that require leak testing prior to final assembly or shipment.<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #95cceb;\">Receiving and Shipping<\/span><\/strong><br \/>\nThe CTS-I is suitable for both incoming inspections (raw material receipt) and outgoing inspections (pre-shipment checks), thanks to its ease of use and maintenance-free design.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #215876;\"><strong>CTS-I vs. CTE-I: Which subwoofer should you choose?<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Both chambers are based on the same immersion testing principle, but differ in several respects:<br \/>\nThe CTS-I is the basic model: economical, simple, and without advanced timing features. It can be powered by compressed air or a vacuum pump (up to -920 mbar), allowing it to achieve higher vacuum levels than the CTE-I. It complies with ASTM D4991, D5094, D4169, EN 14401, and DIN 55528 standards\u2014suitable for rigid and semi-rigid packaging.<br \/>\nThe CTE-I is a customizable and scalable model: it comes standard with safety cylinders for large compartments, an adjustable delay of up to 999 seconds, and numerous customization options. It complies with ASTM D3078\u2014a standard specific to heat-sealed flexible packaging (blister packs, pouches, and doypacks).<br \/>\nIn summary: CTS-I for rigid packaging and tight budgets, CTE-I for flexible packaging and scalability requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>Benefits<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Fully pneumatic<\/li>\n<li>No maintenance<\/li>\n<li>Intuitive and easy to use<\/li>\n<li>Many accessories and possible arrangements according to the customer&#8217;s needs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Technical information<\/h3>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 106.393%; height: 254px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 23px;\">Box<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 23px;\">Transparent PMMA case on hinges<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 23px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 23px;\">Range of measurements and accuracy<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 23px;\">From -0.1 to -0.85 Bar as standard.
