Apollo I

Reliable and accurate visual inspection for particulate contamination in liquid pharmaceuticals.

Product details

  • Reliable Visual Particulate Detection
    The Apollo I Liquid Inspection Unit is designed for the visual inspection of clear liquid pharmaceutical injections and intravenous infusions packaged in transparent containers. It enables operators to reliably detect unwanted particulate contamination, supporting confidence in product quality during manual inspection.
  • Principle of Inspection
    The Apollo I uses a double polarised inspection system. A polarised backlight is positioned behind the container, with a second polarised filter in front. When light strikes a moving particle within the liquid, it is refracted rather than absorbed by the second filter, making particulates more visible to the operator during inspection.
  • Enhanced Visibility
    Equipped with 1.7× magnification, the Apollo I allows operators to observe small particulates more easily, supporting accurate and consistent inspection results.
  • LED Illumination
    The integrated LED light source provides bright, consistent illumination with long service life, ensuring dependable performance while minimising maintenance requirements.
  • Ergonomic, Operator-Focused Design
    Adjustable height and viewing angle allow operators to work comfortably during extended inspection periods. All main visible components within the inspection field are finished in black to reduce reflections that could distract from the visual inspection process.
  • Quick Setup & Ease of Use
    The unit is supplied ready for rapid assembly and is straightforward to set up on delivery, allowing inspection activities to begin quickly with minimal disruption.
  • Validation & Compliance Support
    IQ and OQ documentation is available on request, supporting GMP validation requirements and regulated pharmaceutical environments.
