The JLab Instruments Leak Test Apparatus is used to test the quality of packaging seals for food, drugs, and other products contained in strips, blisters, and sachets. It generates a vacuum inside a desiccator housing to test if the packaging retains its shape or if dye penetrates through any holes in the seals when immersed in a solution after the vacuum is released. The instrument features a microcontroller, LED display, soft-touch keys, and integrated vacuum pump for creating vacuum within 30 seconds to hold for a preset time up to 9999 seconds.
