Redefining Glove Integrity Testing: Esco IntelliGlove Tester (EIGT)
Esco Lifesciences introduces the Esco IntelliGlove Tester (EIGT), an advanced glove integrity testing solution designed for pharmaceutical, biocontainment, and aseptic manufacturing environments where consistency, traceability, and regulatory compliance are essential.
Gloves form a critical access interface between operators and controlled processes. Regulatory guidance, including EU GMP Annex 1 (2022) and ISO 14644-7, places clear emphasis on contamination control strategies and the routine verification of barrier system integrity. Gloves are expected to be tested at defined intervals, including before and after each batch.
The EIGT supports these expectations through a wireless, compact, and portable design, enabling efficient testing around isolators and RABS without adding unnecessary complexity to existing workflows. The system operates based on the pressure change method defined in ISO 14644-7, delivering consistent and repeatable test results.
Key Features & Benefits:
- Wireless operation to support flexible testing configurations
- Integrated touch display for inflation and deflation control, with emergency stop
- FDA-approved inflatable seals and HDPE glove port disc
