Stability studies are a critical aspect of ensuring the quality and effectiveness of various products, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and chemicals. These studies require a controlled environment to test the product's stability over time, and stability chambers are used to provide this environment. The accuracy of stability studies depend on the stability chamber's ability to maintain consistent temperature, humidity, and pressure conditions.

Stability Chamber Calibration in Charlotte, NC

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 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 service is provided as a 3-point "as-found" calibration and verification. Our calibration readings determine whether a unit is within tolerance, and allows units that are within tolerance to continue operations. 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. 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.

In order to perform calibration, you must verify a stability chamber's performance against a set of standards and making adjustments in order to achieve the intended specifications. Most calibration procedures involve verifying temperature, humidity, and pressure:

  • Temperature calibration consists of verifying that temperature readings are accurate. This can be done 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 match.
  • Humidity calibration is similar to temperature calibration. A reference 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 readings in the stability chamber. In this case, we use a calibrated barometer, and adjustments are made until they show the same thing.

Calibration is required to ensure that the settings within the chamber remain precise 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 force you to have to carry out the study again.

Calibration should only be done by a certified and experienced technician. 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 Charlotte, NC

An expert stability chamber validation and qualification in Charlotte, NC will:

  • Consist of calibration records of all instrumentation used during the qualification
  • Deliver documented evidence detailing the instruments adherence to correct calibrated state and standards

Full qualification services in Charlotte, NC are generally described in terms of three different parts:

  • Installation Qualification (IQ) provides documented verification that key aspects of the unit follow the installation design intention. This includes verifying that the instruments are in the right spot, that electrical components are properly connected, 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 validate 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 utilized for providing documented verification that the temperature, humidity, and pressure settings work in the correct and anticipated manner (normally performed with either a simulated or actual product load in the chamber). 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 evaluation of the operating and maintenance procedures 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 detected and addressed quickly.
