Stability chamber calibration is a necessary aspect of ensuring that the conditions in a stability chamber are within the intended range and acceptable for conducting stability studies. 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 how they hold up over time and under certain conditions.

Stability Chamber Calibration in College Station, TX

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 your 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. 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.

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

• Temperature calibration consists of verifying the accuracy 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 located inside the chamber. If there is a difference between the two readings, we'll make adjustments until the readings are the same.
• Humidity calibration follows a similar procedure as temperature calibration. A reference hygrometer is located inside the stability chamber, and humidity readings are compared just as temperature readings are.
• Pressure calibration involves calibrating the pressure settings 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 guarantee that the conditions within the chamber remain consistent over time. This helps to ensure that you can rely on the results of your stability testing, and it also helps to avoid costly errors that could result in the need to repeat a stability study.

Calibration should only be done by a qualified 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 College Station, TX

A reliable stability chamber validation and qualification in College Station, TX should:

• 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 a three-part process:

• Installation Qualification (IQ) is utilized for providing records that the design, procurement, and installation adhere to the design intention. The IQ process includes an evaluation of the installation documentation, such as wiring diagrams, to confirm that the equipment has been installed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
• Operational Qualification (OQ) provides documentation that the unit and subsystems perform to the intended, anticipated, and need operating ranges. The OQ process may also consist of tests to validate the performance of the equipment under different settings. The OQ process also validates that safety measures and alarms are operating as they should.
• 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 the equipment, PQ validates a chamber's performance. The PQ process involves performing a series of tests and evaluations over a defined period of time, typically 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 a review of the operating and maintenance procedures to make sure they are adequate. The PQ process may also include tracking the equipment for alarms of malfunction, to make sure that any problems are caught and addressed promptly.
