Product details

  • Engineered for Challenging Applications 
    The Apollo II High Intensity Liquid Inspection Unit is purpose-built for use with coloured glass containers, translucent plastic containers and turbid or coloured liquid preparations, where standard illumination is insufficient for reliable visual inspection.
  • Compliant Pharmacopoeia Standards
    The Apollo II High Intensity supports inspection conditions aligned with:
    • European Pharmacopoeia EP 2.9.20
    • British Pharmacopoeia BP 2.9.20
    • United States Pharmacopeia USP (1790) Section 6.1
  • Powerful High-Intensity Lighting
    Provides 8,000 - 10,000 Lux illumination to ensure accurate particulate detection, even through tinted or opaque materials.

It ensures accurate contamination detection where standard illumination levels are insufficient.

    Ask the Expert: Liquid Inspection & Challenging Products
  • Which industry standards does this inspection unit comply with?

    The Apollo II High Intensity model is fully compliant with the US Pharmacopoeia USP Chapter 41 (1790), Section 6.1, guaranteeing validated performance for pharmaceutical quality control and regulatory compliance.
     

  • Why is high-intensity lighting important for coloured containers?

    Coloured or opaque materials absorb and scatter light, making particulate detection more challenging. The 8,000 - 10,000 Lux illumination of the Apollo II High Intensity Unit ensures clear visibility through tinted or translucent surfaces, enabling reliable identification of particulates in even the most difficult inspection conditions.

  • What types of containers can be inspected with this unit?

    The Apollo II High Intensity is suitable for:

    • Coloured glass containers (amber, blue, green, etc.)
    • Translucent or opaque plastic containers
    • Turbid or coloured liquid preparations

    It provides accurate particulate detection across a wide variety of pharmaceutical packaging types.

  • How does the dual-panel contrast system improve inspection accuracy?

    The unit includes contrasting black and white panels
    •    Light-coloured particles appear clearly against the black panel.
    •    Dark-coloured particles are easily visible against the white panel.
    This contrast system ensures comprehensive inspection coverage and prevents missed contamination.
