In industries such as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food, packaging integrity plays a vital role in protecting products from contamination, preserving their properties, and maintaining consumer trust. Even a microscopic leak can compromise a product’s quality or shorten its shelf life. To prevent this, manufacturers rely on vacuum leak testing — a simple, efficient, and reliable method to verify package tightness.
Among the leading solutions available today, the vacuum leak tester developed by ACRN — the AgiLeak — stands out for its precision, versatility, and user-friendly operation. Designed and manufactured in France, the AgiLeak provides a modern, automated approach to leak testing that helps ensure consistent and traceable results.

What Is A Vacuum Leak Tester?
A vacuum leak tester is a device that detects leaks in packaging by applying a controlled vacuum to the sample. When air escapes from a non-tight package under reduced pressure, it reveals visible bubbles or measurable pressure variations. This process quickly identifies defective seals, microholes, or assembly flaws.
Unlike manual bubble testers, the AgiLeak performs this test automatically and under precise vacuum conditions. This eliminates operator subjectivity and guarantees repeatable, standardized results — a key factor for regulated industries such as pharmaceuticals or medical devices.
Introducing The AgiLeak: Precision Meets Simplicity
The AgiLeak system combines a transparent vacuum chamber with an intelligent control unit that manages the entire test cycle.
Its touchscreen interface allows users to set test parameters, start tests, and view results in real time. The software includes programmable cycles, automatic vacuum regulation, and optional data recording for full traceability.
With several chamber sizes available and options such as door or lid openings, the AgiLeak adapts to different packaging formats — from small vials and pouches to bottles, tubes, and jars.
Key Features and Advantages
- High accuracy and repeatability – Electronic regulation ensures consistent vacuum levels and stable testing conditions.
- Ease of operation – The intuitive touchscreen interface and automated cycle make testing fast and error-free.
- Traceability and compliance – Optional data management features support CFR 21 Part 11 compliance for pharmaceutical environments.
- Custom configurations – Choose the chamber volume, type of opening, and control mode that best fit your products.
- Durability – Built with high-quality components, the AgiLeak requires minimal maintenance and ensures long-term reliability.
This combination of simplicity and performance makes the AgiLeak ideal for both laboratory and production use.
Applications Across Industries
The AgiLeak vacuum leak tester is suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
- Pharmaceutical packaging: vials, blisters, syringes, ampoules
- Food and beverage: pouches, bottles, sachets
- Cosmetic and personal care: tubes, jars, flexible packaging
- Industrial components: seals, connectors, or assemblies requiring tightness verification
Whether used for R&D, incoming quality control, or batch release testing, the AgiLeak provides reliable data that help prevent costly non-conformities and product recalls.
