Lab testing equipment
With our wide range of lab testing equipment we provide solutions for the early stages in the development processes as well as for quality control in commercial manufacturing. Being able to transfer the test method from R&D to production reduces risks and saves time.
Lab Automation Solutions
Lab CCIT Automation
Streamline your CCI testing for small-volume parenterals by automating the process with robotic support. Full integration into the NEO user interface enables efficient and user-friendly leak detection, even for larger batch sizes.
WILCO’s NEO series offers a powerful and flexible solution for container closure integrity testing (CCIT) in laboratory settings. Designed for maximum versatility, the NEO system supports both differential pressure or headspace analysis methods - ensuring reliable and repeatable results across a wide range of pharmaceutical packaging types.
The system is fully integrated with a collaborative robot (cobot) for automated sample handling, reducing manual workload and increasing throughput without compromising accuracy. The intuitive HMI of the NEO platform simplifies operation by streamlining setup, test execution, and data analysis.
Whether used in automated mode or for manual, single-sample testing, the NEO series adapts to your workflow - making it the ideal tool for development, stability testing, and QC applications.
Efficient
24/7 testing, freeing staff for higher-value tasks.
Collaborative
No safety fence needed due to safe design of robot and integrated torque sensors.
Flexibility
Manual testing can be performed by operators, with the option to switch to automated testing for higher batch volumes. Compatible with a variety of glass or COP containers
Quality
No fatigue or risk of error during extended inspection tasks.
Maximum Flexibility
Both NEO CCI laboratory testers, the NEO DPX (differential pressure tester) and the NEO HSX (headspace analyzer), can be operated with the cobot. Depending on the customer's application, a wide range of pharmaceutical packaging types and sizes can be automatically tested for leaks. Smaller batches can be inspected manually, while the cobot can be seamlessly integrated to ensure efficient, continuous processing of larger volumes.
Supported operator guidance
The WILCO user interface MAVIS supports the operator during the procedure. Similar to a smartphone, the user can build on widgets to display personalized content on the color display. The operator is guided step-by-step through the menu for both inspection and format change. The operator guidance ensures consistent and independent testing.
High process reliability
Different test chambers (NEO DPX) or sample holders (NEO HSX) are available for the various applications. A position monitoring system ensures all predefined settings are correctly verified. The system has two modes: a development mode for the definition of recipes and less critical measurements, and a mode for measurements in the GMP area for the highest safety requirements.
