Pill Ingredient Detection
A North American Pharmaceutical Manufacturer had to meet strict quality control standards before releasing 500,000 tablets to the market. The tablets contained an internal ingredient, which needed to be centered in the core of the tablet. The company found TQC’s information on the internet and contacted us for help.
X-Ray to Detect Product Ingredient Placement
The manufacturer sent us samples of the tablets, which we evaluated and determined that we could
- See if the internal ingredient was off centered and
- If the internal ingredient was missing all together
At that time it was decided that the most cost effective way to complete this job was for the Pharmaceutical Company to send the 500,000 tablets to our warehouse for evaluation.
Detection in Under 1 Week / Less then 1% Defective
They sent us the tablets in large metal drums, which we spread onto trays that passed through our fluoroscopic X-ray systems. Less than 1% were found to be defective, in accordance with strict FDA guidelines all defective products were shipped back for evaluation and appropriate disposal. We completed the job in under 1 week, ultimately allowing this company to move their product quickly to their clients, without a major financial burden.
