Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop a framework for assessing technologies in the biotechnology sector. We apply the proposed framework to evaluate several container closure integrity (CCI) testing technology alternatives, specifically high-voltage leak detection (HVLD), vacuum decay leak detection, and laser headspace analysis. Sixteen CCI experts in the pharmaceutical industry provided feedback on preferred criteria and sub-criteria presented in a hierarchical decision-making model. The experts indicated a preference for quality and process efficiency criteria. The ease of use and cost were less important criteria.
