Stability Chamber Calibration, Validation, Qualification in Philadelphia, PA. It is critically important that stability chambers operate at a peak performance level, and that they are also operating safely. Your team needs to be assured that your stability chambers are operating correctly, and that qualified technicians have validated it's performance. To maintain your stability chambers current quality and production levels, our stability chamber engineers can provide stability chamber calibration, stability chamber validation, and stability chamber qualification. To learn more about our stability chamber services, or to or to discuss your needs with a staff member, please call Darwin Chambers now at (314) 534-3111 or contact us online.

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 chambers are essential pieces of laboratory equipment used to store and study the stability of products under controlled 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 a long period. To ensure that the results obtained from stability testing are reliable, stability chambers must be calibrated, validated, and qualified.

Stability Chamber Calibration in Philadelphia, PA

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 needs.

We can also fit our services to meet your needs, whether this be calibrations, qualifications, or verificatiopns. Our procedure provides a 3-point “as-found” calibration verification. Our calibration readings determine whether a unit is within tolerance, and allows units that are within tolerance to continue operations. If any instrument does not meet requirements, we will promptly notify you, so that you may take the necessary steps to make note of it and fix the issue.

If an instrument's "as-found" readings are outside of the recommended tolerance level, the instrument can be calibrated using the manufacturers 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. 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 calibrated thermometer, which is located inside the chamber. If there is a difference between the two readings, 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 verifying the pressure readings in the stability chamber. To read pressure, we use a reference barometer, and adjustments are made until they match.

Calibration is required to guarantee that the conditions within the chamber remain accurate over time. This helps to ensure that you can trust the results of your stability testing, and it also helps to avoid costly errors that could result in the need to repeat a stability study.

You need a qualified 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 Philadelphia, PA

A reliable stability chamber validation and qualification in Philadelphia, PA should:

  • Consist of calibration records of all instrumentation used during the qualification
  • Deliver documented evidence detailing the instruments adherence to correct calibrated state and standards

Qualification and validation include a three-part process:

  • 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. This includes verifying that the equipment has been installed in the right location, that electrical components are properly connected, and that it can maintain the necessary temperature and humidity control.
  • Operational Qualification (OQ) is utilized for providing recorded verification that the systems and subsystems perform as intended at all anticipated operating ranges (normally performed with an unloaded chamber). The OQ process may also include tests to evaluate 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 can reach the temperature, humidity, and pressure settings as intended, either in a simulation or with an actual product inside. Where OQ validates hardware and software, 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 intended and meets the specified requirements for its intended use.

    The PQ process also includes an assessment of the operating and maintenance processes to ensure that they will achieve the continued operation of the instruments. The PQ process might also consist of monitoring the equipment for alarms of malfunction, to make sure that any issues are caught and addressed promptly.
