Stability chamber calibration is a necessary part of ensuring that the conditions in a stability chamber are within the specified range and suitable 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 monitor samples of pharmaceuticals, cosmetic, food, and chemical products to determine their shelf-life and effectiveness over a period of time.

Stability Chamber Calibration in Colorado Springs, CO

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 your needs.

We provide several different programs to ensure that you recieve the service you need for your stability chamber in Colorado Springs, CO. 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. Any instrument outside of tolerance will be recorded, and we will immediately notify you so that your team can take the appropriate actions.

Any instruments found outside of calibration can then be calibrated using the manufacturer's calibration process. 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 involves 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 can be done by comparing the readings of the stability chamber with a reference thermometer, which is put inside the chamber. If there is a difference between the two readings, we'll make adjustments until the readings match.
  • Humidity calibration follows a similar procedure as temperature calibration. A calibration hygrometer is put 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 reference barometer, and adjustments are made until they match.

It is important to regularly calibrate the stability chamber to guarantee that the settings within the chamber stay precise 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 render your results invalid.

You need a certified 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 Colorado Springs, CO

A reliable stability chamber validation and qualification in Colorado Springs, CO should:

  • Include a list of instruments used for qualifications
  • Deliver documented evidence detailing the instruments adherence to correct calibrated state and standards

Qualification and validation include a three-part process:

  • Installation Qualification (IQ) provides documented verification that key aspects of the unit adhere to the installation design intention. The IQ process includes a review of the installation records, such as equipment specifications, 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 include 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 product load. Where OQ validates hardware and software, 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 chamber can hold up as long as you need it to.

    The PQ process also includes a review of the operating and maintenance processes to ensure that they are adequate. The PQ process may also include observation of the equipment for alarms of malfunction, to make sure that any issues are caught and addressed quickly.
