  • Human inspection identified 13 (3.25%) borosilicate vials that contained neck cracks, while no (0%) strengthened aluminosilicate vials were identified as cracked. Leak testing of these vials showed that two (0.5%) of borosilicate vials exhibited leaking cracks and none (0%) of the strengthened aluminosilicate vials leaked.
