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 simulate 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

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. The use of these standards will ensure that your instruments are calibrated to NIST compliance (NIST National Institute of Standards and Technology), in order to meet or exceed manufacturer’s specifications.

We provide several different programs to ensure that you recieve the service you need for your stability chamber in Greensboro, NC. 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.

Additionally, if the “as-found” readings are not within the manufacturer’s tolerance, the instrument is then calibrated using the manufacturer’s calibration procedure. 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 given tolerance and making adjustments in order to achieve the desired specifications. Most calibration procedures involve verifying temperature, humidity, and pressure:

• Temperature calibration consists of verifying the reliability 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 discrepancy, the stability chamber temperature control system can be adjusted until the readings are the same.
• Humidity calibration follows a similar process as temperature calibration. A reference hygrometer is placed 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. To read pressure, we use a calibrated barometer, and adjustments are made until they show the same thing.

Calibration is required to ensure that the settings within the chamber remain consistent 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.

Calibration should be performed by a certified 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 Greensboro, NC

An expert stability chamber validation and qualification in Greensboro, NC 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 Greensboro, NC are generally described in terms of a three-part process:

• Installation Qualification (IQ) provides documented verification that key aspects of the unit adhere to the installation design intention. This includes verifying that the instruments are in the correct spot, that it is properly connected to electrical and other services, and that it meets the specified requirements for 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 consist of tests to validate the performance of the equipment under different humidity and temperatures. 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 the equipment, PQ validates how a chamber works. The PQ process involves conducting a series of tests and evaluations over a defined period of time, 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 an assessment of the operating and maintenance procedures to make sure they are adequate. The PQ process might also consist of tracking the equipment for indicators of malfunction, to ensure that any problems are caught and taken care of promptly.
