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 accuracy of stability studies depend on the stability chamber's ability to maintain consistent temperature, humidity, and pressure conditions.

Stability Chamber Calibration in Los Angeles, CA

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. We use these standards to ensure NIST compliance (NIST National Institute of Standards and Technology), in order to meet or exceed manufacturer’s 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. 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 recorded, and we will immediately notify you so that your team can take the appropriate actions.

Any instruments found outside of calibration can then be calibrated using the manufacturer's calibration process. Once calibration is finalized, the readings of the unit will be documented to detail the units calibration and operation within the manufacturer's tolerance.

The calibration of a stability chamber involves verifying its performance against a given tolerance 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 is most often completed by looking at the readings from the chamber against those from a reference thermometer, which is located inside the chamber. If there is a difference between the two readings, we'll make adjustments until the readings are the same.
  • Humidity calibration follows a similar procedure as temperature calibration. A calibration hygrometer is put 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 all of the readings show the same thing.

It is important to regularly calibrate the stability chamber to guarantee that the conditions within the chamber stay accurate 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 render your results invalid.

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

Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in Los Angeles, CA

An expert stability chamber validation and qualification in Los Angeles, CA 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 a three-part process:

  • Installation Qualification (IQ) is intended to provide records that 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 instructions.
  • Operational Qualification (OQ) is meant to provide documented verification that the systems and subsystems perform as they need to at all anticipated operating ranges (normally carried out with an unloaded chamber). The OQ process may also include tests to validate 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 with an actual product inside. Where OQ validates components, 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 a review of the operating and maintenance processes to make sure they are adequate. The PQ process could also consist of monitoring the equipment for alarms of malfunction, to make sure that any issues are identified and taken care of quickly.
