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 chambers are an indispensable part of any laboratory, that are used to store and study the stability of products under simulated 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 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 Blacksburg, VA

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

We can also fit our services to meet your needs, whether this be calibrations, qualifications, or verificatiopns. Our procedure provides a 3-point “as-found” calibration 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. Any instrument outside of tolerance will be noted, and we will immediately notify you so that your team can take the appropriate actions.

If an instrument'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 given tolerance 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 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 discrepancy, we'll make adjustments until the temperatures match.
• Humidity calibration is similar to temperature calibration. A calibration hygrometer is placed inside the stability chamber, and humidity readings are compared just as temperature readings are.
• Pressure calibration involves verifying the pressure settings 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 conditions within the chamber stay consistent over time. This helps to ensure that you can trust 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. The frequency of calibration depends on the stability chamber usage and the level of precision required.

Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in Blacksburg, VA

A true stability chamber validation and qualification in Blacksburg, VA should:

• Consist of calibration records of all instrumentation used during the qualification
• Provide documented evidence the chamber’s instruments are in a current calibrated state

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

• Installation Qualification (IQ) is utilized for providing documented verification that all key aspects of the design, procurement, and installation follow to the design intention. The IQ process includes a review of the installation records, such as wiring diagrams, to confirm that the equipment has been installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Operational Qualification (OQ) is meant to provide recorded verification that the systems and subsystems perform as they need to at all anticipated operating ranges (normally performed with an empty chamber). The OQ process may also include tests to validate the performance of the equipment under different 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 performs as intended, either in a simulation or with an actual product inside. Where OQ validates components, 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 assessment of the operating and maintenance procedures to make sure they are adequate. The PQ process could also consist of monitoring the equipment for alarms of malfunction, to ensure that any problems are identified and addressed promptly.
