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 essential pieces of laboratory equipment 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 accurate, stability chambers must be calibrated, validated, and qualified.

Stability Chamber Calibration in Fort Collins, CO

We understand the critical role that calibrations have in your regulated industry, which is why we use extremely precise calibration standards. The use of these standards will ensure that your instruments follow to NIST compliance (NIST National Institute of Standards and Technology), in order to meet or exceed manufacturer’s needs.

We can also offer customized programs, such as single point or loop calibrations and verifications. Our procedure provides a 3-point “as-found” calibration 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 documented, 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. 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. 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 looking at the readings from the chamber against those from a reference thermometer, which is placed inside the chamber. If there is a difference between the two readings, we'll make adjustments until the temperatures are the same.
• Humidity calibration is similar to temperature calibration. A reference hygrometer is located inside the stability chamber, and humidity readings are compared just as temperature readings are.
• Pressure calibration involves verifying 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.

Calibration is required to ensure that the settings within the chamber remain accurate for an extended period. This helps to ensure that you can trust the results of your stability testing, and it also helps to avoid costly errors that could render your results invalid.

Calibration should be performed by a qualified and experienced technician. It is recommended to calibrate a stability chamber at least once a year, or more frequently if it is used frequently or if the results of previous calibrations indicate that it may be necessary.

Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in Fort Collins, CO

An expert stability chamber validation and qualification in Fort Collins, CO will:

• Consist of calibration records of all instrumentation used during the qualification
• Deliver documented evidence detailing the instruments adherence to correct calibrated state and standards

Full qualification services in Fort Collins, CO are usually described in terms of three different parts:

• Installation Qualification (IQ) is intended to provide records that the design, procurement, and installation follow to the design intention. This includes verifying that the instruments are in the right location, that electrical components are properly connected, and that it can maintain the necessary temperature and humidity control.
• Operational Qualification (OQ) is meant to provide recorded verification that the systems and subsystems perform as intended at all anticipated operating ranges (normally performed with an empty chamber). The OQ process may also include tests to assess the performance of the equipment under different conditions. 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 the equipment, PQ validates how a chamber works. 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 an evaluation of the operating and maintenance processes to ensure that they are adequate. The PQ process might also include tracking the equipment for alarms of malfunction, to make sure that any problems are identified and addressed quickly.
