Please note: Darwin Chambers does not provide stability testing services. We specialize in manufacturing and supplying high-quality stability chambers designed to meet your testing needs. Stability chamber calibration is a crucial part of ensuring that the conditions in a stability chamber are within the intended range and satisfactory for conducting stability testing. 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 test samples of pharmaceuticals, cosmetic, food, and chemical products to determine their shelf-life and effectiveness over a period of time. Stability Chamber Calibration in Blacksburg, VA We understand your field might have heavy oversight, which is why we use extremely precise calibration standards. Our Engineers calibrate each chamber to 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 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. If any instrument exceeds the tolerance, we will promptly notify you, so that you may take the necessary steps to document the event. Additionally, if the “as-found” readings are not within the manufacturer’s tolerance, the instrument is then calibrated using the manufacturer’s calibration procedure. 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 in order to achieve the desired specifications. The most common parameters that need to be calibrated include temperature, humidity, and pressure: Temperature calibration involves verifying that temperature readings are accurate. This is most often completed by contrasting the readings of the stability chamber with a reference thermometer, which is put inside the chamber. If there is a difference between the two readings, the stability chamber temperature control system can be adjusted until the temperatures are the same. Humidity calibration is similar to temperature calibration. A reference hygrometer is put inside the stability chamber, and humidity readings are compared just as temperature readings are. Pressure calibration involves verifying the pressure readings in the stability chamber. To read pressure, we use a calibrated barometer, and adjustments are made until all of the readings match. It is important to regularly calibrate the stability chamber to ensure that the settings within the chamber remain accurate for an extended period. This helps to ensure that you can trust the results of your stability testing, and it also helps to avoid costly errors that could render your results invalid. 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. Download Calibration Brochure Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in Blacksburg, VA A reliable stability chamber validation and qualification in Blacksburg, VA should: Consist of calibration records of all instrumentation used during the qualification Deliver documented evidence detailing the instruments adherence to correct calibrated state and standards Qualification and validation include three different parts: Installation Qualification (IQ) is intended to provide records that the design, procurement, and installation adhere to the design intention. This includes verifying that the instruments are in the right location, that it is properly connected to electrical and other services, and that it meets the specified requirements for temperature and humidity control. 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 load conditions. The OQ process also validates that safety measures and alarms are operating as they should. Performance Qualification (PQ) is intended to provide 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 the equipment, PQ validates a chamber's performance. 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 an evaluation of the operating and maintenance procedures to ensure that they will support the continued operation of the instruments. The PQ process might also include tracking the equipment for alarms of malfunction, to make sure that any issues are identified and addressed quickly.
