  • The automated inspection rejected 74% of the damaged borosilicate vials, 88% of which leaked in dye ingress testing. Of the 26% damaged borosilicate vials that were accepted, 35% of them leaked in dye ingress testing. While the strengthened aluminosilicate population experienced the same damage replication event, 100% of the vials were accepted by the automated inspection equipment and none of the vials leaked.
