Start with the question

What does your inspection program need to demonstrate?

Product, package, defect population, inspection method, and intended decision all affect the right study design. These short answers lead to deeper, source-informed guidance.

What is a visual inspection defect test kit?

A controlled set of acceptable and intentionally defective units prepared for a defined training, qualification, development, or comparison study. Suitability depends on intended use and representativeness—not the label on the box.

Explore defect test kits

When may a surrogate solution be appropriate?

A surrogate may help when the actual product is unavailable, hazardous, controlled, scarce, or unsuitable for repeated studies. The relevant target attributes, verification, and limitations must be defined for the study.

Review surrogate options

How do AVI and SAVI differ?

AVI automates image capture and the accept/reject decision. SAVI uses equipment to present or manipulate the unit while a person makes the decision. Actual configurations and validation strategies vary.

Compare AVI and SAVI support

What information starts a useful project scope?

Container and closure, fill volume, formulation appearance and viscosity, inspection method, target defect families, intended study, quantity, documentation needs, and timeline.

Why YB Inspection

Built for Defensible Inspection Programs

YB Inspection develops test sets and technical support around the actual product, container, inspection method, intended use, and approved site procedure. Scope, documentation, characterization, and acceptance criteria are defined for each project rather than implied by a generic compliance claim.

  • US-manufactured defect test kits
  • Project documentation defined in the approved quotation
  • Custom surrogate feasibility evaluated case by case
  • Programs informed by current FDA, USP, EU GMP, WHO, and industry sources
  • Support for vials, syringes, cartridges, bags, ampoules
  • Manual, SAVI, and AVI inspection support
  • Domestic shipping across the United States
  • Support available for biotech, pharmaceutical, CDMO, and compounding teams
