Apparatus and method for examining containers for impurities

Abstract

A device for inspecting containers for foreign substances, including at least one sampling head, wherein by means of the at least one sampling head, a quantity of a first fluid is introducible into the at least one container contactlessly via an opening of the sampling head by means of a fluid introduction device and wherein by means of the sampling head, a quantity of a second fluid to be inspected for foreign substances is contactlessly removable from the at least one container, a measuring cell for optically inspecting the second fluid is at least partially arranged in the sampling head, preferably wherein an analysis device for analyzing the second fluid for foreign substances is arranged, which is connected to the measuring cell, in particular by means of an optical connection, in particular wherein the analysis device and the measuring cell are designed to determine foreign substances by means of UV spectroscopy of the second fluid and/or that a sorting device is arranged, which is designed to sort out containers deviating from a previously defined result on the basis of a result from the analysis device, in particular wherein the sorting device is designed to feed the containers again at least once for the inspection for foreign substances.
