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 variety of fields, 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 reliable, stability chambers must be calibrated, validated, and qualified. Stability Chamber Calibration in Fort Collins, CO We understand your field might have heavy oversight, which is why we use extremely precise calibration standards. We use these standards to ensure 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. 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 noted, and we will immediately notify you so that your team can take the appropriate actions. If an instrument's "as-found" readings are outside of the recommended tolerance level, the instrument can be calibrated using the manufacturers calibration procedures. 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 set of standards 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 involves verifying the reliability of the temperature readings in the stability chamber. This can be done by looking at the readings from the chamber against those from 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 is similar to 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 calibrating the pressure readings in the stability chamber. In this case, we use a reference 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 precise over time. This helps to ensure that you can rely on the results of your stability testing, 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. Download Calibration Brochure Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in Fort Collins, CO An expert stability chamber validation and qualification in Fort Collins, CO will: Provide a list of instruments used for qualifications Deliver documented evidence detailing the instruments adherence to correct calibrated state and standards Full qualification services in Fort Collins, CO are typically described in terms of three different parts: 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. This includes verifying that the instruments are in the right spot, that electrical components are properly connected, and that it can maintain the necessary temperature and humidity control. 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 assess the performance of the equipment under different conditions. The OQ process also includes verifying that the chamber's alarms and safety systems are functioning correctly. Performance Qualification (PQ) ensures and documents that the unit can reach the temperature, humidity, and pressure settings as intended, either in a simulation or with an actual product inside. Where OQ validates components, PQ validates a chamber's performance. The PQ process involves performing a series of tests and evaluations over a set period, typically several weeks or months, to confirm that the equipment operates as it should 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 indicators of malfunction, to make sure that any problems are caught and taken care of promptly.
