Stability chambers are an indispensable part of any laboratory, that are used to store and study the stability of products under simulated environmental conditions. These chambers are used in a wide range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, and food, to ensure the safety and efficacy of products over time. To ensure that the results obtained from stability testing are accurate, stability chambers must be calibrated, validated, and qualified.

Stability Chamber Calibration in New Orleans, LA

We understand the critical role that calibrations have in your regulated industry, which is why we use extremely precise calibration standards. 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 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 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 as necessary to ensure that it meets the desired specifications. The most common parameters that need to be calibrated include 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 contrasting the readings of the stability chamber with a reference thermometer, which is put 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 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. In this case, we use a reference barometer, and adjustments are made until they match.

Calibration is required to guarantee that the conditions within the chamber stay accurate 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.

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

Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in New Orleans, LA

A true stability chamber validation and qualification in New Orleans, LA should:

• Provide a list of instruments used for qualifications
• Provide documented evidence the chamber’s instruments are in a current calibrated state

Qualification and validation are three different parts:

• Installation Qualification (IQ) is utilized for providing documented verification that all key aspects of the design, procurement, and installation adhere to the design intention. This includes verifying that the equipment has been installed in the correct spot, that electrical components are properly connected, and that it can maintain the necessary 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 include tests to assess the performance of the equipment under different load 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 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 are adequate. The PQ process could also include observation of the equipment for alarms of malfunction, to ensure that any problems are caught and taken care of swiftly.
