Smallest size of contaminant possible to detect will vary based on multiple factors, including: size of jar, features of glass jar, glass wall uniformity, density of contaminant, false reject tolerance, line speed etc.

The experience of current customers is that they are finding contaminants that they did not expect to find in their products. Customers are alerted to contaminants in their raw products which has allowed them to work with their vendors to correct the problems.

InspX welcomes testing of your specific product and contaminant samples.
