Stability chamber calibration is a crucial aspect of ensuring that the conditions in a stability chamber are within the specified range and satisfactory for carrying out stability studies. 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 how they hold up over time and under certain conditions.

Stability Chamber Calibration in Sacramento, CA

We understand your field might have heavy oversight, which is why we use extremely precise calibration standards. We use these standards to ensure NIST compliance (NIST National Institute of Standards and Technology), in order to meet or exceed your specifications.

We provide several different programs to ensure that you recieve the service you need for your stability chamber in Sacramento, CA. 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 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 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 set of standards and making adjustments in order to achieve the intended specifications. The most common parameters that need to be calibrated include temperature, humidity, and pressure:

  • Temperature calibration consists of verifying the accuracy of the temperature readings in the stability chamber. This can be done by comparing the readings of the stability chamber with a reference thermometer, which is located inside the chamber. If there is a discrepancy, the stability chamber temperature control system can be adjusted until the temperatures match.
  • Humidity calibration follows a similar procedure as temperature calibration. A reference hygrometer is located inside the stability chamber, and the readings are compared with the readings of the stability chamber's humidity control system.
  • Pressure calibration involves verifying the pressure settings in the stability chamber. To read pressure, we use a reference barometer, and adjustments are made until they show the same thing.

Calibration is required to ensure that the conditions within the chamber stay precise for an extended period. This helps to ensure that you can trust the results of your stability testing, and it also helps to avoid simple mistakes that could result in the need to repeat a stability study.

You need a certified and experienced technician to make sure the calibration is done right. It is recommended to calibrate a stability chamber every 6 months to 1 year, depending on how often it is used.

Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in Sacramento, CA

A true stability chamber validation and qualification in Sacramento, CA should:

  • Include a list of instruments used for qualifications
  • Deliver documented evidence detailing the instruments adherence to correct calibrated state and standards

Qualification and validation are a three-part process:

  • Installation Qualification (IQ) provides documented verification that key aspects of the unit follow the installation design intention. 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 instructions.
  • 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 validate the performance of the equipment under different conditions. The OQ process also includes verifying that the chamber's alarms and safety systems are functioning correctly.
  • 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 a chamber's performance. The PQ process takes 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 a review of the operating and maintenance procedures to make sure they are adequate. The PQ process might also consist of observation of the equipment for alarms of malfunction, to ensure that any issues are detected and addressed promptly.
