ICH Stability Chambers | Precise Control & Energy Efficiency

Benson — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 07:57:52 +0000

PGC have over 40 years of experience providing pharmaceutical stability chambers, validation, and compliance services. Our humidity control chambers enable you to test the stability and shelf life of your pharmaceutical products with precision. We accommodate moderate, long-term, and accelerated stability tests, allowing you the full range of conditions you may need to use to test the degradation of your pharmaceutical products via ICH stability chamber storage.

ICH GUIDELINES & TESTING PHARMACEUTICAL STABILITY CHAMBERS

Any drug product or substance must undergo stability testing in order to be approved by the US FDA and other regulatory organizations. Stability testing allows us to verify how a pharmaceutical product will react in regards to changes in the surrounding environment. Subsequently, this enables those in the pharmaceutical field to identify a product’s shelf life and determine whether any physical, chemical or microbiological changes affect the efficiency and integrity of the final product, thereby ensuring that a pharmaceutical or regulated product is safe and effective, irrespective of where in the world it will be supplied. These stability guidelines are outlined by ICH Q1A(R2) standards. We understand that in FDA regulated environments there is no room for error in monitoring or measurement. Parameter offers humidity stability chambers and associated services that meet ICH storage conditions for moderate, long term, and accelerated stability studies. If you are interested in learning more about these standards in relation to temperature and humidity control, please read our page on issues to consider when complying with ICH guidelines.

ICH CONDITIONS FOR STABILITY STORAGE

General ICH stability chamber storage conditions include, but are not limited to:

25°C/60% RH (Relative Humidity)
30°C/65% RH
40°C/75% RH

Our chambers can also control custom ICH conditions such as: 30/75, 30/35, 25/40, 40/25, 5°C, and -20°C

PARAMETER PRECISELY CONTROLS

Control Constancy – Parameter provides precise single point humidity and temperature control (±0.5% RH /±0.2°%C).
Uniformity across the conditioned space – Parameter provides a tight uniformity by engineering optimal distribution systems that evenly disperse the air through a conditioned area.
Sensor Accuracy – Parameter utilizes high-grade humidity and temperature sensors and maintains the calibration over the range of conditions required.

Colour Assessment Cabinets

Benson — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 04:08:16 +0000

Colour Assessment Cabinets(CAC) create the perfect alternative to natural daylight.

Colour Assessment Cabinets (CAC) create the perfect alternative to natural daylight. With the use of nine phosphors and calculated to the CIE 51 standard, the cabinet produces the best fluorescent D65 daylight simulator with the highest Colour Rendering Index (CRI) available to the colour viewing world. The CAC range has been developed for the visual assessment of colour in accordance with the British Standard 950 Part 1 directives and International Standards.

The cabinets are suitable for all industries and applications where there is a need to maintain colour consistency and product quality. e.g. Textile, Automotives, Ceramics,
Cosmetics, Dyeing, Food, Footwear, Inks, Knitwear, Packaging, and Printing. Our CAC cabinets offer a maximum choice of up to 5 light sources, from a selection of the CIE illuminants, Point of Sale illuminants and Ultra Violet. With multiple light sources it enables you to detect metamerism, where a colour seems to match under one light source but is clearly different under another.

To optimise consistency of viewing conditions the CAC range incorporates a specially selected white reflector, a neutral matt grey interior finish and a unique VeriVide control panel, which gives the user access to a variety of advanced features including: servicing indicator, auto sequence, warm up, power save and a data storage facility.
