Stability chambers are an indispensable part of any laboratory, that are 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 accurate, stability chambers must be calibrated, validated, and qualified.

Stability Chamber Calibration in Washington, DC

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 provide several different programs to ensure that you recieve the service you need for your stability chamber in Washington, DC. 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. Any instrument outside of tolerance will be recorded, and we will immediately notify you so that your team can take the appropriate actions.

Any instruments found outside of calibration can then be calibrated using the manufacturer's 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.

In order to perform calibration, you must verify a stability chamber's 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 that temperature readings are accurate. This is most often completed by contrasting the readings of the stability chamber with a reference thermometer, which is placed inside the chamber. If there is a discrepancy, we'll make adjustments until the temperatures match.
  • Humidity calibration is similar to temperature calibration. A calibration hygrometer is placed 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 show the same thing.

Calibration is required to ensure that the conditions within the chamber stay precise 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 Washington, DC

An expert stability chamber validation and qualification in Washington, DC should:

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

Full qualification services in Washington, DC are generally described in terms of three different parts:

  • Installation Qualification (IQ) is intended to provide records that 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 validate the performance of the equipment under different settings. The OQ process also includes verifying that the chamber's alarms and safety systems are functioning correctly.
  • 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 the equipment, PQ validates a chamber's performance. 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 evaluation of the operating and maintenance processes to make sure they are adequate. The PQ process could also include tracking the equipment for alarms of malfunction, to ensure that any issues are detected and addressed quickly.
