Stability Testing Pharmaceutical stability testing is the process for determining how long a substance or product remains effective and safe for use at specific storage conditions. The process of stability testing is done by storing the substance at defined conditions and testing its properties periodically. In order to achieve this critical task, researchers and manufacturers of pharmaceuticals and other medical products must have access to reliable and accurate stability chambers such as the wide range of chambers available from Darwin Chambers. What Do You Need from a Stability Testing Chamber? Whether you work in pharmaceuticals, other medical devices, or any FDA-regulated products, stability testing is essential. In order to perform stability testing that adheres to strict industry standards and regulations, your operation needs qualified personnel in addition to precise stability chambers and stability rooms. Your team may have access to the best minds in your field, but that is irrelevant without access to quality stability chambers that are designed especially for FDA and ICH stability testing. Purchasing equipment like stability chambers for your operation to fulfill your stability testing needs is no small investment. Your stability testing work and entire operation depend upon the performance of your stability chambers and it is important that you select a quality product that meets your precise needs. Whether you need a small bench-top model for supplemental stability testing or need a completely customized walk-in stability chamber for high-volume stability testing, Darwin Chambers has the right product for you. When selecting the stability chambers for your stability testing work, it is important to evaluate your options on the following criteria: Control - A chamber is useless to you for stability testing if its control of conditions does not adhere to ICH requirements. This is generally ± 2°C and ± 5% RH. Our products far exceed these specifications, with standard controls with a range of ±0.2°C and ±0.3% RH. Our line of stability chambers, refrigerators, and freezers come standard with easy-to-use precision controls or optional virtual touchscreen technology. Conditioning - Your chamber must have a uniform distribution of temperature and humidity throughout the interior of the chamber and must be able to recover from open doors or loss of power. Darwin Chambers' stability chambers are regulated with ultrasonic humidity and thermoelectric cooling technologies, which both allow for superior uniformity and eliminate the presence of hot spots. Equipped with multiple, independent cooling units for cooling redundancy, the conditions within our stability chambers will remain as consistent as possible for your stability testing application. Construction - Look for quality construction to ensure that your stability chamber is prepared to serve you without fail for years to come. Our chambers designed for stability testing are constructed with stainless steel exteriors, positive seal self-closing doors, and foamed-in-place high-density insulation. The majority of the components on our chambers can be serviced quickly and simply.
