Use cases

A challenge set with a purpose.

Begin with the decision your study needs to support, then define the kit around it.

01TRAIN

Inspector training

Introduce selected defect types and help inspectors practice recognition within your training program.

02QUALIFY

Manual qualification

Scope challenge units around your inspection method, qualification protocol, and site-defined criteria.

03COMPARE

Knapp studies

Plan a defect set for comparative studies and probability-of-detection assessments under your study conditions.

04DEVELOP

AVI development

Support automated visual inspection development and validation activities with project-specific challenges.

Your team approves suitability for the intended use, the protocol, and acceptance criteria. A test kit is one input to your inspection program.

Selected defect scope

Particles, containers, and the details that matter.

Discuss the materials and visible attributes you need. Feasibility and the final defect selection are subject to the agreed project scope.

Particulate challenges

Broad material families to discuss

Glass
Particles or fragments
Metal
Particles or fragments
Fibers
Selected strands or fibers
Elastomer
Selected rubber or closure materials
Polymers
Selected plastic materials

Material, form, size requirements, and quantities are reviewed together—not every material or defect is feasible for every configuration.

Container & fill challenges

Selected visible defects to discuss

  • Container surfaceCracks, chips, scratches
  • Fill presentationUnderfill, overfill, empty units
  • Closure appearanceVisible cap or crimp defects

Visible closure or seal defects do not establish container closure integrity (CCI). Any integrity assessment requires its own suitable method and protocol.

Container & fill

Start with your format.

Vials, syringes, cartridges, ampoules, bags, and bottles can be discussed. Share your container, closure, and fill requirements so feasibility can be reviewed.

Product or surrogate selection and any required appearance or flow characteristics belong in the approved specification.

Explore the defect-kit service

Documentation included

A Certificate of Conformance with your defect set.

The CoC documents the preparation—not a claim of regulatory approval or suitability for every study.

Optional images of seeded particles are available. Discuss image needs when defining the scope.

CoC

What the CoC covers

  • Instruments used
  • Step-by-step preparation process
  • Materials used
Define the inventory and answer key

Unit identification and defect inventory are agreed in the project specification. Defect-free units can be discussed per your approved protocol; they are not assumed to be included.

How it works

From study requirements to a defined kit.

Four steps, with scope and timing agreed before preparation begins.

  1. Discuss your study

    Start with a free 15-minute scope call about your container, fill, inspection method, and target defects.

  2. Agree the specification

    Review feasibility, unit identification, defect inventory, quantities, documentation, pricing, and timing before approval.

  3. Prepare the defect set

    The approved scope guides the materials and step-by-step preparation process. Discuss any required changes before proceeding.

  4. Receive kit + CoC

    Receive the agreed defect set with its Certificate of Conformance and any optional seeded-particle images you requested.

Common questions

Before you scope a kit.

Practical details to help you prepare your request.

What does the Certificate of Conformance include?

YB supplies a Certificate of Conformance with the defect test set. It records the instruments used, materials used and step-by-step preparation process. The scope call establishes the project specifications and documentation needs. A CoC is not regulatory approval or a substitute for the customer's qualification of the set for its intended use.

Can we request images of the seeded particles?

Yes. Images of the particles seeded in the set are available as an optional addition. Discuss the image scope and format when requesting your quote. The illustrations on this page are not examples of those optional particle images.

Can you configure sets for different container formats and inspection methods?

Discuss your vial, syringe, cartridge, ampoule, bag or bottle presentation and intended manual, semi-automated or automated inspection use. Configuration and feasibility are agreed for the specific product, container, defect population and protocol rather than assuming one set suits every application.

How long does a test set remain suitable for use?

Continued suitability depends on the actual formulation or surrogate, container, seeded defects, storage, handling and use. The customer should establish lifecycle controls and review criteria for the approved intended use. Absence of microbial growth alone does not prove suitability; no blanket shelf-life guarantee is made here.

Is the scope call a booking or a purchase?

No. Submitting this form requests a free 15-minute scope conversation. YB reviews your details and contacts you to arrange a time. It does not book a meeting, place an order or commit you to a purchase. Timing, feasibility and pricing are confirmed after the scope is agreed.
