Stability chamber calibration is a necessary part of ensuring that the conditions in a stability chamber are within the intended range and satisfactory for carrying out stability testing. A stability chamber is a controlled environment used to test the stability of products under specified temperature and humidity conditions. This chamber is used to store and test samples of pharmaceuticals, cosmetic, food, and chemical products to determine their shelf-life and effectiveness over a period of time.

Stability Chamber Calibration in Las Vegas, NV

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 specifications.

We can also offer programs that are tailored to fit your needs, such as single point or loop calibrations and verifications. Our procedure provides a 3-point “as-found” calibration 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. Any instrument outside of tolerance will be documented, and we will immediately notify you so that your team can take the appropriate actions.

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 set of standards and making adjustments as necessary to ensure that it meets the intended specifications. Most calibration procedures involve verifying 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 located inside the chamber. If there is a discrepancy, we'll make adjustments until the temperatures are the same.
  • Humidity calibration is similar to temperature calibration. A calibration hygrometer is placed 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 settings in the stability chamber. In this case, we use a reference barometer, and adjustments are made until they match.

Calibration is required to ensure that the conditions within the chamber stay precise 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 result in the need to repeat a stability study.

Calibration should be performed by a certified and experienced technician. The frequency of calibration depends on the stability chamber usage and the level of precision required.

Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in Las Vegas, NV

A true stability chamber validation and qualification in Las Vegas, NV should:

  • Include a list of instruments used for qualifications
  • Provide documented evidence the chamber’s instruments are within the intended tolerance levels

Full qualification services in Las Vegas, NV are generally 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. The IQ process includes an evaluation of the installation documentation, such as wiring diagrams, to confirm that the equipment has been installed according to the manufacturer's specifications.
  • 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 validates that safety measures and alarms are operating as they should.
  • Performance Qualification (PQ) ensures and documents that the unit can reach the temperature, humidity, and pressure settings as intended, either in a simulation or product load. Where OQ validates the equipment, PQ validates a chamber's performance. 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 will support the continued operation of the equipment. The PQ process may also consist of observation of the equipment for alarms of malfunction, to make sure that any problems are detected and taken care of quickly.
