What is a stability test chamber?

Stability test chambers for pharmaceuticals, also known as temperature and humidity chambers (climate chambers), are devices that create specific environmental conditions. They are essential and highly important for conducting ICH tests in the pharmaceutical industry. Drug sustainability tests are an important part in the development of pharmaceutical and medical sciences, which doubles the importance and sensitivity of the chambers. Stability chambers are mainly used for ICH GUIDLINE Q1A tests, which place the drug in temperature conditions of 40 degrees Celsius and 70% humidity, and measure the stability of the drug in 3-month, 6-month, and even 1-year periods.

Designers of this series of chambers have clearly aimed to meet the diverse needs of users while complying with international standards. To achieve this, features such as the DUAL SAFETY system (safety thermostat), unique HCT technology (for temperature uniformity at different points inside the chamber), advanced ARM series microcontroller, NON-CUT technology (for temperature accuracy and stability during cooling), and ANTIPOLAR technology (to prevent water level sensor failure) have been incorporated into this series of temperature and humidity chambers. Also, compliance with ICH, GMP and GLP standards are among the other advantages of these chambers.

The FG design manager assures you that this series of drug stability test chambers is fully competitive with European samples, which you will find after reviewing this series of chambers.

Types of stability test chambers

In general, environmental condition test chambers or drug test chambers are divided into different types, the smallest volume of which is desktop to the largest volume of which is from about 5000 liters to 25000 liters, and they are called WALK-chambers. It is called IN.

Applications of temperature and humidity test chambers

As mentioned before, stability chambers are part of the important equipment of laboratories and production lines and the quality control department of pharmaceutical factories. But in addition, the chambers are also used in the laboratories of food, health and cosmetic industries.

However, due to the simultaneous supply of temperature and humidity, they are also used in university laboratories and research and industrial centers. The external body of the chamber is made of iron sheet with electrostatic powder paint and the inner chamber is entirely made of stainless steel, in addition to its extraordinary strength, it has given the device a special beauty. By carefully looking at the inner compartment of the device and observing different angles, we notice the use of curved corners inside the device, which makes it easy to clean and safe for the user.

Also, the use of stainless steel makes the inner chamber resistant to humidity. In the other part, the ultra -advanced device controller comes with the latest ARM series microprocessors. The controller of the device has a significant contribution in temperature control and stability of temperature and humidity by using smart algorithms.

What components should temperature and humidity test chambers have?

The temperature and humidity chambers must have a precise temperature and humidity controller, a circulating fan for the uniformity of temperature and humidity inside the chamber, the possibility of warning in case of emergency, the ability to program, the ability to adjust the thermal gradient, the screen to show information, the ability to set the timer. and to be able to save information.

What points should be considered when buying laboratory chambers?

In some cases, it has been observed that the deviation of the temperature and humidity inside the chamber from the set values ​​causes damage to the test samples and sometimes a lot of damage, so the device must be equipped with a separate system to prevent the unwanted increase or decrease of temperature and humidity and to notify It is to the user in case of occurrence.
Another important point of the stability test chamber is the ability to calibrate the device. If the calibration is 1 point, the device is calibrated only at the same point, and by calibrating at one temperature, the calibration of other temperatures is out of adjustment.

Some devices are calibrated in two temperatures, in this case, the device considers a hypothetical line based on these two temperatures and calibrates the rest of the temperatures based on this hypothetical line. Since some points may not be in line with the hypothetical line of the device, calibration at two points cannot be guaranteed for the high accuracy of the device, so the higher the calibration points, the more accurate the calibration is done and the device works in all precise temperature range.

Another point is that you must have encountered the phenomenon of unwanted increase in chamber temperature and failure of laboratory samples. Today, international standards emphasize the control of the temperature of the chamber by an independent thermostat, so that when necessary, by cutting the voltage of the element, they prevent the increase of the temperature of the chamber and prevent possible damages. The ability to connect to FGLAB software is another advantage of this device.

By connecting to this software, you can view all device information including temperature, humidity and fan speed in the form of graphs and tables. The ability to zoom in a specific time range and print are also other advantages of these chambers.

All FG stability chambers are equipped with fans and are manufactured in five volume models: ZF120E, ZF240E, ZF400E, ZF700E, and ZF1400E liters. Additionally, custom designs based on customer requirements are also available upon request. Also, according to the requirements of pharmaceutical factories and the needs of respected customers, it is possible to provide QUALIFICATION documents including IQ, OQ, PQ.
