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 variety of fields, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food, to ensure the safety and efficacy of products over time. To ensure that the results obtained from stability testing are accurate, stability chambers must be calibrated, validated, and qualified.

Stability Chamber Calibration in Atlanta, GA

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

We can also fit our services to meet your needs, whether this be calibrations, qualifications, or verificatiopns. Our service is provided as a 3-point "as-found" calibration and verification. The “as-found” readings are documented and verified to be within the manufacturer’s tolerance, if found within the tolerances the device is then returned to service. If an instrument is found to be outside of the allowed tolerance, we will inform you of the findings so that you can address the problem promptly.

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 involves 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 contrasting the readings of the stability chamber with a reference thermometer, which is placed inside the chamber. If there is a difference between the two readings, the stability chamber temperature control system can be adjusted until the readings match.
• Humidity calibration is similar to temperature calibration. A calibration hygrometer is placed 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 settings in the stability chamber. In this case, we use a calibrated 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 conditions within the chamber stay accurate over time. 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 force you to have to carry out the study again.

You need a certified and experienced technician to make sure the calibration is done right. It is recommended to calibrate a stability chamber at least once a year, or more frequently if it is used frequently or if the results of previous calibrations indicate that it may be necessary.

Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in Atlanta, GA

A reliable stability chamber validation and qualification in Atlanta, GA will:

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

Full qualification services in Atlanta, GA are generally described in terms of a three-part process:

• Installation Qualification (IQ) is intended to provide records that the design, procurement, and installation follow to the design intention. This includes verifying that the instruments are in the correct location, that it is properly connected to electrical and other services, and that it can maintain the necessary temperature and humidity control.
• Operational Qualification (OQ) is utilized for providing documented verification that the systems and subsystems perform as intended at all anticipated operating ranges (normally carried out with an empty chamber). The OQ process may also include tests to evaluate the performance of the equipment under different load conditions. 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 can reach the temperature, humidity, and pressure settings as intended, either in a simulation or with an actual product inside. Where OQ validates hardware and software, PQ validates how a chamber works. The PQ process takes several weeks or months, to confirm that the equipment operates as it should and meets the specified requirements for its intended use.

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