Laser Drilling Positive Controls in CCIT

Oxford Lasers is a world-class supplier of precision laser-drilling to create positive controls in container closure integrity testing (CCIT). Positive controls are created by drilling a known, measured micro hole in a package. These are used in the production process to provide deterministic proof that the leak testing system is operating properly. Oxford Lasers provides highly precise and consistent laser-drilling services down to 2 microns in pharmaceutical packaging over a wide range of materials including glass, plastics and metals. Our micromachining techniques allow us to drill in vials, ampoules, syringes, autoinjectors, blister packs, IV bags, and other drug containers. Our positive control packages meet rigorous standards and we provide Certificates of Conformity to enable a robust audit trail. We support global pharma with high-precision CCIT positive controls to align with EU Annex 1, USP 1207 best practice testing guidelines and FDA CGMP regulations.
