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 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 fields, 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 reliable, stability chambers must be calibrated, validated, and qualified. Stability Chamber Calibration in State College, PA Calibrations play a critical role in every stability chamber, and our engineers use precise calibrations to ensure perfect performance. The use of these standards will ensure that your instruments are calibrated 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. The “as-found” readings are documented and verified to be within the manufacturer’s tolerance, if found within the tolerances the device is then returned to service. 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. Additionally, if the “as-found” readings are not within the manufacturer’s tolerance, the instrument is then calibrated using the manufacturer’s calibration procedure. 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 consists of verifying its performance against a set of standards and making adjustments in order to achieve the desired specifications. Most calibration procedures involve verifying temperature, humidity, and pressure: Temperature calibration consists of verifying the accuracy of the temperature readings in the stability chamber. This can be done by contrasting the readings of the stability chamber with a reference thermometer, which is put inside the chamber. If there is a difference between the two readings, we'll make adjustments until the readings are the same. Humidity calibration follows a similar process as temperature calibration. A calibration 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. To read pressure, we use a reference barometer, and adjustments are made until they match. Calibration is required to ensure that the conditions within the chamber stay 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 result in the need to repeat a stability study. You need a qualified and experienced technician to make sure the calibration is done right. How often you need calibration depends on the stability chamber usage and the level of precision required. Download Calibration Brochure Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in State College, PA A reliable stability chamber validation and qualification in State College, 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 are 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 adheres to requirements for the intended use. The IQ process includes an evaluation of the installation documentation, such as equipment specifications, to confirm that the equipment has been installed according to the manufacturer's instructions. 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 humidity and temperatures. The OQ process also includes verifying that the chamber's alarms and safety systems are functioning correctly. 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 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 an evaluation of the operating and maintenance procedures to make sure they are adequate. The PQ process may also consist of observation of the equipment for indicators of malfunction, to make sure that any problems are detected and taken care of swiftly.
