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 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 St. Louis, MO

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 manufacturer’s specifications.

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.

Any instruments found outside of calibration can then be calibrated using the manufacturer's calibration procedures. 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 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 accuracy of the temperature readings in the stability chamber. This is most often completed by contrasting the readings of the stability chamber with a calibrated thermometer, which is located inside the chamber. If there is a discrepancy, the stability chamber temperature control system can be adjusted until the temperatures are the same.
• Humidity calibration is similar to temperature calibration. A calibration hygrometer is put inside the stability chamber, and the readings are compared with the readings of the stability chamber's humidity control system.
• Pressure calibration involves calibrating the pressure settings in the stability chamber. To read pressure, we use a calibrated barometer, and adjustments are made until all of the readings match.

Calibration is required to guarantee that the conditions within the chamber stay precise for an extended period. 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 qualified and experienced technician to make sure the calibration is done right. The frequency of calibration depends on the stability chamber usage and the level of precision required.

Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in St. Louis, MO

An expert stability chamber validation and qualification in St. Louis, MO should:

• Provide a list of instruments used for qualifications
• Provide documented evidence the chamber’s instruments are within the intended tolerance levels

Full qualification services in St. Louis, MO are generally described in terms of a three-part process:

• Installation Qualification (IQ) is intended to provide documented verification that all key aspects of the design, procurement, and installation follow to the design intention. This includes verifying that the equipment has been installed in the right location, that it is properly connected to electrical and other services, and that it meets the specified requirements for 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 consist of tests to assess the performance of the equipment under different settings. The OQ process also validates that safety measures and alarms are operating as they should.
• Performance Qualification (PQ) is intended to provide 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 the equipment, PQ validates how a chamber works. The PQ process involves performing 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 an evaluation of the operating and maintenance processes to make sure they are adequate. The PQ process may also include tracking the equipment for indicators of malfunction, to make sure that any problems are identified and taken care of swiftly.
