LIGHTHOUSE invented laser headspace technology more than 15 years ago and continues to develop innovative headspace applications and robust equipment platforms.
We have recently developed the PULSAR line of machines to characterize the physical headspace conditions of product samples in a reliable, compact, and flexible platform.
Our PULSAR Headspace Inspection System can provide automated, 100% inspection of headspace oxygen, moisture, and carbon dioxide levels in sealed parenteral containers, while our PULSAR Headspace CCI Inspection Lease System offers a small footprint, fast delivery solution for the 100% CCI inspection of pharmaceutical product on a per project basis.
