Stability chamber calibration is a crucial part of ensuring that the conditions in a stability chamber are within the specified range and acceptable 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 store and monitor samples of pharmaceuticals, cosmetic, food, and chemical products to determine how they hold up over time and under certain conditions.

Stability Chamber Calibration in Buffalo, NY

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 your needs.

We provide several different programs to ensure that you recieve the service you need for your stability chamber in Buffalo, NY. 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 does not meet requirements, we will promptly notify you, so that you may take the necessary steps to document the event.

Any instruments found outside of calibration can then be calibrated using the manufacturer's 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 consists of verifying its performance against a given tolerance and making adjustments in order to achieve the intended specifications. Most calibration procedures involve verifying temperature, humidity, and pressure:

• Temperature calibration involves verifying that temperature readings are accurate. This is most often completed by looking at the readings from the chamber against those from a reference thermometer, which is put inside the chamber. If there is a discrepancy, the stability chamber temperature control system can be adjusted until the readings match.
• Humidity calibration follows a similar procedure as 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 settings in the stability chamber. In this case, we use a reference barometer, and adjustments are made until they show the same thing.

Calibration is required to ensure 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 costly errors that could render your results invalid.

You need a qualified 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 Buffalo, NY

A reliable stability chamber validation and qualification in Buffalo, NY 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

Qualification and validation are three different parts:

• 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. This includes verifying that the instruments are in the correct location, that electrical components are properly connected, and that it can maintain the necessary 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 validate the performance of the equipment under different humidity and temperatures. 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 components, PQ validates how a chamber works. The PQ process takes several weeks or months, to confirm that the equipment operates as intended and meets the specified requirements for its intended use.

  The PQ process also includes an assessment of the operating and maintenance processes to ensure that they are adequate. The PQ process might also include tracking the equipment for indicators of malfunction, to make sure that any problems are identified and addressed quickly.
