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 fields, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food, to ensure the safety and efficacy of products over time. To ensure that the results obtained from stability testing are reliable, stability chambers must be calibrated, validated, and qualified.

Stability Chamber Calibration in Detroit, MI

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. Our Engineers calibrate each chamber to NIST compliance (NIST National Institute of Standards and Technology), in order to meet or exceed manufacturer’s needs.

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.

Any instruments found outside of calibration can then be calibrated using the manufacturer's 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 intended specifications. The most common parameters that need to be calibrated include 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 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 are the same.
  • Humidity calibration follows a similar process as temperature calibration. A calibration hygrometer is put inside the stability chamber, and humidity readings are compared just as temperature readings are.
  • 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.

It is important to regularly calibrate the stability chamber to ensure that the conditions within the chamber stay consistent 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 force you to have to carry out the study again.

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.

Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in Detroit, MI

A true stability chamber validation and qualification in Detroit, MI will:

  • 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 Detroit, MI are usually 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 a review 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 load conditions. The OQ process also includes verifying that the chamber's alarms and safety systems are functioning correctly.
  • Performance Qualification (PQ) is intended to provide 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 takes 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 procedures to make sure they are adequate. The PQ process might also consist of monitoring the equipment for alarms of malfunction, to make sure that any problems are identified and taken care of swiftly.
