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 over time, and stability chambers are used to provide 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 Nashville, TN

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

Any instruments found outside of calibration can then be calibrated using the manufacturer's calibration procedures. 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.

The calibration of a stability chamber consists of 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 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 calibrated thermometer, which is located inside the chamber. If there is a discrepancy, we'll make adjustments until the readings match.
• Humidity calibration is similar to temperature calibration. A reference hygrometer is placed inside the stability chamber, and humidity readings are compared just as temperature readings are.
• Pressure calibration involves verifying the pressure readings in the stability chamber. In this case, we use a calibrated barometer, and adjustments are made until they match.

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 costly errors that could render your results invalid.

You need a certified and experienced technician to make sure the calibration is done right. The frequency of calibration is based on the stability chamber usage and the level of precision required.

Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in Nashville, TN

A true stability chamber validation and qualification in Nashville, TN should:

• Consist of calibration records of all instrumentation used during the qualification
• Provide documented evidence the chamber’s instruments are in a current calibrated state

Qualification and validation include three different parts:

• Installation Qualification (IQ) provides documented verification that key aspects of the unit adhere to the installation design intention. The IQ process includes an analysis of the installation records, such as wiring diagrams, to confirm that the equipment has been installed according to the manufacturer's requirements.
• Operational Qualification (OQ) is meant to provide recorded 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 consist of 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) is utilized for providing documented verification that the temperature, humidity, and pressure settings work in the correct and anticipated manner (normally performed with either a simulated or actual product load in the chamber). Where OQ validates hardware and software, PQ validates how a chamber works. 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 processes to make sure they will achieve the continued operation of the chamber. The PQ process may also consist of observation of the equipment for alarms of malfunction, to ensure that any problems are detected and addressed swiftly.
