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 chambers are an indispensable part of any laboratory, that are used to store and study the stability of products under simulated environmental conditions. These chambers are used in a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food, to ensure the safety and efficacy of products over a long period. To ensure that the results obtained from stability testing are accurate, stability chambers must be calibrated, validated, and qualified. Stability Chamber Calibration in Columbus, OH We use precise calibration standards to ensure quality performance within every chamber. 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 offer customized programs, such as single point or loop calibrations and verifications. 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 exceeds the tolerance, we will promptly notify you, so that you may take the necessary steps to make note of it and fix the issue. 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 intended specifications. The most common parameters that need to be calibrated include 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 comparing the readings of the stability chamber with a reference thermometer, which is located inside the chamber. If there is a discrepancy, we'll make adjustments until the readings are the same. Humidity calibration follows a similar process as temperature calibration. A reference 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 verifying the pressure readings in the stability chamber. In this case, we use a reference barometer, and adjustments are made until all of the readings match. Calibration is required to guarantee that the conditions 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 costly errors that could render your results invalid. You need a certified and experienced technician to make sure the calibration is done right. How often you need calibration is based on the stability chamber usage and the level of precision required. Download Calibration Brochure Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in Columbus, OH A true stability chamber validation and qualification in Columbus, OH should: Consist of calibration records of all instrumentation used during the qualification Provide documented evidence the chamber’s instruments are in a current calibrated state Full qualification services in Columbus, OH are typically 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 adheres to requirements for the intended use. The IQ process includes an evaluation of the installation records, such as wiring diagrams, to confirm that the equipment has been installed according to the manufacturer's specifications. 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 evaluate 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 hardware and software, PQ validates a chamber's performance. The PQ process involves conducting a series of tests and evaluations over a set period, 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 assessment of the operating and maintenance procedures to make sure they will support the continued operation of the chamber. The PQ process may also include tracking the equipment for indicators of malfunction, to make sure that any issues are detected and taken care of swiftly.
