Feature
What are the main features of a pharmaceutical stability testing chamber (temperature, humidity and light)?
The following may help you better understand this chamber:
1. Temperature control: Pharmaceutical stability testing chamber can maintain precise temperature control, the temperature range can be as low as -20°C to as high as 70°C.
2. Humidity control: The humidity level inside the stability pharmaceutical chambers can be set to simulate different humidity. This is particularly important for moisture sensitive drugs, such as certain types of solid dosage forms and biologics.
•Programmable touch screen controller
. 100 programs, 1000 segments 999 steps, 99 hours 59 minutes for each segment.
. P.I.D automatic calculation function.
. RS485 communication interface / a built-in printer available, for data storage and playback of history curve.
. Data recording and fault diagnosis display, once a fault occurs, the cause of fault will be dynamically displayed on the controller.
3. Lighting control: Some drugs are light sensitive, and may degrade if exposed to certain wavelengths of light. Therefore, Climatest Symor® drug stability test chamber has lighting controls, like UV light, to determine the effect of light on the drug product.

The role of a pharmaceutical stability testing chamber (temperature, humidity and light)
Pharmaceutical stability testing chamber is designed to meet strict regulatory requirements and industry standards, such as those set by the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH Guideline). The chambers can be used for a variety of purposes, including:
*Long-term storage stability testing: This type of testing is used to determine the stability of a drug over an extended period of time, typically several years.
*Accelerated stability testing: This type of testing is used to evaluate the stability of a drug under harsh conditions, such as high temperatures and humidity, in a short time.
* Shelf life testing: Pharmaceutical stability testing chamber is used to determine the shelf life of a drug, which is the amount of time a product can be stored under specific conditions without losing its potency, efficacy, or quality.
Based on the results of stability testing, the manufacturer can determine the shelf life of the product and make necessary adjustments to the formulation or packaging, to ensure the product remains stable over time. This data is critical to regulatory agencies, who use it to determine the appropriate storage and handling requirements for the drugs.
Accelerated testing in a pharmaceutical stability testing chamber (temperature, humidity and light)
Accelerated testing is carried out under regular conditions, and its purpose is to speed up the chemical or physical changes of the drug for drug review, packaging, transportation and delivery. Below is an example to show the accelerating test procedures:
Applicable products: Raw materials and pharmaceutical preparations
Batches: 3 batches, market packaging
Storage condition: 40℃±2℃; 75%±5%
Storage time: 6 month
Assessment: Take out samples from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd batches after 6 months, inspect them according to the established quality standards, if they do not meet the standard, then test @30°C±2°C, 65%+5% for 6 month.
Temperature sensitive drugs are expected to be stored in the refrigerator (4~8°C). The accelerated test can be carried out @25°C±2°C; 60%±10%, 6 month.
Certificates of Climatest Symor® pharmaceutical stability testing chamber (temperature, humidity and light)
