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 necessary part of ensuring that the conditions in a stability chamber are within the specified range and satisfactory for carrying out 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 how they hold up over time and under certain conditions. Stability Chamber Calibration in Colorado Springs, CO 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. The use of these standards will ensure that your instruments adhere 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. 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. If any instrument does not meet requirements, we will promptly notify you, so that you may take the necessary steps to document the event. 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. In order to perform calibration, you must verify a stability chamber's performance against a set of standards and making adjustments as necessary to ensure that it meets the desired specifications. Most calibration procedures involve verifying temperature, humidity, and pressure: Temperature calibration involves verifying the accuracy of the temperature readings in the stability chamber. This can be done by contrasting the readings of the stability chamber with a calibrated thermometer, which is located inside the chamber. If there is a difference between the two readings, the stability chamber temperature control system can be adjusted until the temperatures match. Humidity calibration follows a similar procedure as temperature calibration. A reference hygrometer is placed 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 reference barometer, and adjustments are made until all of the readings match. It is important to regularly calibrate the stability chamber to guarantee that the settings within the chamber stay accurate for an extended period. This helps to ensure that the results of stability testing are reliable, and it also helps to avoid simple mistakes that could result in the need to repeat a stability study. You need a qualified 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. Download Calibration Brochure Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in Colorado Springs, CO A true stability chamber validation and qualification in Colorado Springs, CO 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 Full qualification services in Colorado Springs, CO are generally described in terms of a three-part process: 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. 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 requirements. 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 assess the performance of the equipment under different humidity and temperatures. The OQ process also includes verifying that the chamber's alarms and safety systems are functioning correctly. 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 the equipment, PQ validates how a chamber works. 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 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 ensure that they will support the continued operation of the instruments. The PQ process might also consist of tracking the equipment for alarms of malfunction, to ensure that any issues are caught and addressed quickly.
