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.

STABILITY CHAMBERS FOR PHARMACEUTICALS

Visit our catalog and search for the room or stability chambers that best fits your stability storage needs for pharmaceuticals.

Walk-in Rooms
Versatile modular rooms that can be configured to a specific application or size requirement. These rooms will also maintain ±0.5% relative humidity control and ±0.2° C temperature control.

Conditioning Systems
The same conditioning systems we provide for the walk-in rooms can also be applied to existing rooms, chambers or manufacturing processes.

ICH STABILITY CHAMBER VALIDATION AND COMPLIANCE SERVICES

Parameter’s validation services group can provide turn-key cost effective solutions to your validation and compliance challenges. Whether it is the challenge of setting up a validation or qualification program or an emergency response to a critical compliance situation, our validation services team will respond to your needs with proven resolution, expertise and confidence.

Temperature and Humidity Conditioner | Precise Control & Energy Efficiency

Benson — Thu, 09 Feb 2023 05:50:05 +0000

Our conditioning units are specifically designed to provide conditioned air for small and large humidity control rooms in a variety of different fields such as the pharmaceutical, agriculture and tobacco, electronics, textile, and packaging industries or others as needed. Our conditioners are designed to produce very precise humidity and temperature control.

We offer horizontal units, such as the 100-200 CFM conditioner, which allows our conditioners to sit on top of existing chambers or rooms and circulate conditioned air through the contained space. Conversely, if you do not have ceiling space to house a conditioner, we recommend a vertical unit, such as the 250-400 CFM conditioner. This vertical unit attaches directly to the wall of the room to minimize floor space required.

100-200 CFM HORIZONTAL CONDITIONER
250-400 CFM HORIZONTAL CONDITIONER
250-400 CFM VERTICAL CONDITIONER
400-700 CFM HORIZONTAL CONDITIONER
400-700 CFM VERTICAL CONDITIONER
400-800 CFM HORIZONTAL CONDITIONER
400-800 CFM VERTICAL CONDITIONER
800-1,200 CFM HORIZONTAL CONDITIONER

UVCTest Material Exposure Instrument

Benson — Tue, 30 Aug 2022 03:00:00 +0000

The Atlas UVCTest™ is designed to test the durability of materials exposed to UVC radiation centered at 254 nm. It is based on the popular UVTest fluorescent/UV platform, with special modifications for safety and reliability. The output of the UVC-254 lamps simulates the ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) used by many sterilization devices.

Due to Covid-19 and other factors, UV-C is becoming more and more popular as a means to sterilize surfaces. Main applications are automotive interior, trains, planes, textiles, plastics, coated surfaces, as well as furniture in public, educational, health and other facilities. UV C radiation is considerably more aggressive to most materials than sunlight and may add a new risk factor for product failure.
