Stability chambers are an indispensable part of any laboratory, that are used to store and study the stability of products under controlled environmental conditions. These chambers are used in a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food, to ensure the safety and efficacy of products over a long period. To ensure that the results obtained from stability testing are accurate, stability chambers must be calibrated, validated, and qualified.

Stability Chamber Calibration in Greenville, SC

We use precise calibration standards to ensure quality performance within every chamber. We use these standards to ensure NIST compliance (NIST National Institute of Standards and Technology), in order to meet or exceed manufacturer’s specifications.

We can also offer programs that are tailored to fit your needs, such as single point or loop calibrations and verifications. Our service is provided as a 3-point "as-found" calibration and verification. Our calibration readings determine whether a unit is within tolerance, and allows units that are within tolerance to continue operations. If any instrument does not meet requirements, we will promptly notify you, so that you may take the necessary steps to make note of it and fix the issue.

If a chamber's "as-found" readings are outside of the recommended tolerance level, the instrument can be calibrated using the manufacturers calibration procedures. After completing the calibration, the instrument’s “as-left” readings are documented using the same three points from the calibration to ensure the instrument is reading within the manufacturer’s tolerance.

The calibration of a stability chamber involves verifying its performance against a set of standards and making adjustments as necessary to ensure that it meets the desired specifications. The most common parameters that need to be calibrated include temperature, humidity, and pressure:

  • Temperature calibration consists of verifying that temperature readings are accurate. This can be done by looking at the readings from the chamber against those from a reference thermometer, which is located inside the chamber. If there is a difference between the two readings, we'll make adjustments until the readings match.
  • Humidity calibration is similar to temperature calibration. A calibration hygrometer is put inside the stability chamber, and the readings are compared with the readings of the stability chamber's humidity control system.
  • Pressure calibration involves verifying the pressure readings in the stability chamber. In this case, we use a reference barometer, and adjustments are made until all of the readings show the same thing.

It is important to regularly calibrate the stability chamber to ensure that the settings within the chamber stay accurate for an extended period. This helps to ensure that you can rely on the results of your stability testing, and it also helps to avoid simple mistakes that could render your results invalid.

You need a certified and experienced technician to make sure the calibration is done right. It is recommended to calibrate a stability chamber every 6 months to 1 year, depending on how often it is used.

Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in Greenville, SC

An expert stability chamber validation and qualification in Greenville, SC should:

  • Provide a list of instruments used for qualifications
  • Deliver documented evidence detailing the instruments adherence to correct calibrated state and standards

Full qualification services in Greenville, SC are generally described in terms of three different parts:

  • Installation Qualification (IQ) provides documented verification that key aspects of the unit adhere to the installation design intention. The IQ process includes an evaluation of the installation documentation, such as wiring diagrams, to confirm that the equipment has been installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  • Operational Qualification (OQ) provides documentation that the unit and subsystems perform to the intended, anticipated, and need operating ranges. The OQ process may also include tests to evaluate the performance of the equipment under different settings. The OQ process also includes verifying that the chamber's alarms and safety systems are functioning correctly.
  • Performance Qualification (PQ) ensures and documents that the unit performs as intended, either in a simulation or product load. Where OQ validates the equipment, PQ validates how a chamber works. The PQ process involves performing a series of tests and evaluations over a defined period of time, typically several weeks or months, to confirm that the chamber can hold up as long as you need it to.

    The PQ process also includes a review of the operating and maintenance processes to make sure they are adequate. The PQ process might also include monitoring the equipment for indicators of malfunction, to make sure that any problems are caught and taken care of swiftly.
