Stability chambers are essential pieces of laboratory equipment used to store and study the stability of products under simulated environmental conditions. These chambers are used in a variety of fields, 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 Toronto, ON

Calibrations play a critical role in every stability chamber, and our engineers use precise calibrations to ensure perfect performance. 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 provide several different programs to ensure that you recieve the service you need for your stability chamber in Toronto, ON. 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 any instrument does not meet requirements, we will promptly notify you, so that you may take the necessary steps to document the event.

If a chamber's "as-found" readings are outside of the recommended tolerance level, the instrument can be calibrated using the manufacturers 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 consists of verifying its performance against a given tolerance and making adjustments in order to achieve the intended specifications. Most calibration procedures involve verifying temperature, humidity, and pressure:

• Temperature calibration involves verifying the accuracy of the temperature readings in the stability chamber. This can be done by looking at the readings from the chamber against those from a reference thermometer, which is put inside the chamber. If there is a difference between the two readings, 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 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 all of the readings show the same thing.

Calibration is required to ensure that the settings within the chamber remain accurate for an extended period. This helps to ensure that the results of stability testing are reliable, and it also helps to avoid costly errors that could render your results invalid.

Calibration should be performed by a qualified and experienced technician. How often you need calibration depends on the stability chamber usage and the level of precision required.

Stability Chamber Validation and Qualification in Toronto, ON

A true stability chamber validation and qualification in Toronto, ON should:

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

Qualification and validation include a three-part process:

• Installation Qualification (IQ) provides documented verification that key aspects of the unit adhere to the installation design intention. The IQ process includes an analysis of the installation documentation, such as wiring diagrams, to confirm that the equipment has been installed according to the manufacturer's requirements.
• 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 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) is utilized for providing documented verification that the process does what it is intended to do (normally performed with either a simulated or actual product load in the chamber). Where OQ validates components, PQ validates a chamber's performance. 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 processes to ensure that they will achieve the continued operation of the equipment. The PQ process could also include tracking the equipment for alarms of malfunction, to make sure that any problems are identified and addressed quickly.
