Stability Chamber Calibration, Validation, Qualification in Greensboro, NC

Stability Chamber Calibration, Validation, Qualification in Greensboro, NC. It is critically important that stability chambers operate at a peak performance level, and that they are also operating safely. Your team needs to be assured that your stability chambers are operating correctly, and that qualified technicians have validated it's performance. To ensure that your stability chambers in Greensboro are fully and safely operational, or stability chamber engineers can provide, our stability chamber technicians can provide stability chamber calibration, stability chamber validation, and stability chamber qualification. To learn more about our stability chamber services, or to or to discuss your needs with a staff member, please call Darwin Chambers now at (314) 534-3111 or fill out this form here.

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 studies are a critical aspect of ensuring the quality and effectiveness of various products, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, food, and chemicals. These studies require a controlled environment to test the product's stability under a variety of conditions, and stability chambers are used to provide this environment. The reliability of stability studies depend on the stability chamber's ability to maintain consistent temperature, humidity, and pressure conditions.

Stability Chamber Calibration in Greensboro, NC

We use precise calibration standards to ensure quality performance within every chamber. 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 your needs.

We can also fit our services to meet your needs, whether this be calibrations, qualifications, or verificatiopns. 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 an instrument is found to be outside of the allowed tolerance, we will inform you of the findings so that you can take the appropriate steps necessary.

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 set of standards and making adjustments in order to achieve the desired specifications. The most common parameters that need to be calibrated include temperature, humidity, and pressure:

  • Temperature calibration involves verifying that temperature readings are accurate. This can be done by looking at the readings from the chamber against those from a calibrated thermometer, which is placed inside the chamber. If there is a discrepancy, we'll make adjustments until the readings match.
  • Humidity calibration is similar to temperature calibration. A calibration hygrometer is located inside the stability chamber, and humidity readings are compared just as temperature readings are.
  • Pressure calibration involves calibrating the pressure settings in the stability chamber. In this case, we use a reference barometer, and adjustments are made until all of the readings show the same thing.

It is important to regularly calibrate the stability chamber to guarantee that the settings within the chamber stay consistent over time. This helps to ensure that you can trust the results of your stability testing, 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. 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 Greensboro, NC

A reliable stability chamber validation and qualification in Greensboro, NC will:

  • 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 three different parts:

  • Installation Qualification (IQ) is utilized for providing documented verification that all key aspects of the design, procurement, and installation follow to the design intention. The IQ process includes an analysis of the installation documentation, such as equipment specifications, to confirm that the equipment has been installed according to the manufacturer's specifications.
  • Operational Qualification (OQ) is utilized for providing recorded verification that the systems and subsystems perform as they need to at all anticipated operating ranges (normally performed with an unloaded chamber). The OQ process may also include tests to evaluate the performance of the equipment under different humidity and temperatures. The OQ process also validates that safety measures and alarms are operating as they should.
  • Performance Qualification (PQ) is utilized for providing documented verification that the process does what it is intended to do (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 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 assessment of the operating and maintenance processes to ensure that they will achieve the continued operation of the chamber. The PQ process may also consist of observation of the equipment for indicators of malfunction, to ensure that any issues are detected and taken care of promptly.
