Stability chamber calibration is a necessary part of ensuring that the conditions in a stability chamber are within the specified range and suitable for conducting stability studies. A stability chamber is a controlled environment used to test the stability of products under specified temperature and humidity conditions. This chamber is used to house and monitor samples of pharmaceuticals, cosmetic, food, and chemical products to determine their shelf-life and effectiveness over a period of time.

Stability Chamber Calibration in Madison, WI

Calibrations play a critical role in every stability chamber, and our engineers use precise calibrations to ensure they function reliably for a long period of time. We use these standards to ensure NIST compliance (NIST National Institute of Standards and Technology), in order to meet or exceed your specifications.

We provide several different programs to ensure that you recieve the service you need for your stability chamber in Madison, WI. Our procedure provides a 3-point “as-found” calibration verification. Our calibration readings determine whether a unit is within tolerance, and allows units that are within tolerance to continue operations. Any instrument outside of tolerance will be noted, and we will immediately notify you so that your team can take the appropriate actions.

If a chamber's "as-found" readings are outside of the recommended tolerance level, the instrument can be calibrated using the manufacturers calibration procedures. Once calibration is finalized, the readings of the unit will be documented to detail the units calibration and operation within the manufacturer's tolerance.

The calibration of a stability chamber consists of verifying its performance against a set of standards and making adjustments in order to achieve the desired specifications. Most calibration procedures involve verifying temperature, humidity, and pressure:

• Temperature calibration involves verifying the reliability of the temperature readings in the stability chamber. This is most often completed by looking at the readings from the chamber against those from a reference thermometer, which is placed inside the chamber. If there is a difference between the two readings, we'll make adjustments until the temperatures are the same.
• Humidity calibration follows a similar procedure as temperature calibration. A calibration hygrometer is located inside the stability chamber, and the readings are compared with the readings of the stability chamber's humidity control system.
• Pressure calibration involves calibrating the pressure readings in the stability chamber. To read pressure, we use a reference barometer, and adjustments are made until all of the readings show the same thing.

Calibration is required to guarantee that the settings within the chamber remain consistent over time. This helps to ensure that you can rely on the results of your stability testing, and it also helps to avoid costly errors that could result in the need to repeat a stability study.

You need a certified and experienced technician to make sure the calibration is done right. The frequency of calibration is based on the stability chamber usage and the level of precision required.

Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in Madison, WI

A reliable stability chamber validation and qualification in Madison, WI should:

• Consist of calibration records of all instrumentation used during the qualification
• Provide documented evidence the chamber’s instruments are within the intended tolerance levels

Qualification and validation are a three-part process:

• Installation Qualification (IQ) includes a series of tests and evaluations to confirm that the equipment has been installed according to the manufacturer's specifications and that it meets the requirements for the intended use. The IQ process includes an analysis of the installation documentation, such as equipment specifications, to confirm that the equipment has been installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Operational Qualification (OQ) is utilized for providing documented verification that the systems and subsystems perform as they need to at all anticipated operating ranges (normally performed with an unloaded chamber). The OQ process may also consist of 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) is utilized for providing documented verification that the process does what it is intended to do (normally performed with either a simulated or actual product load in the chamber). Where OQ validates components, PQ validates how a chamber works. The PQ process involves conducting 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 could also consist of observation of the equipment for indicators of malfunction, to ensure that any problems are identified and taken care of quickly.
