Environmental simulation
In order to guarantee the quality of products such as technical, organic and pharmaceutical products, it is necessary to check the effects of environmental influences. The aim of environmental simulation is to simulate an accelerated product life cycle and to be able to draw conclusions about the service life, functionality and effectiveness of products.
Our test chambers give you the ability to simulate temperature and humidity precisely and to test products for their properties under changing climatic conditions.
Stability chambers: Stability tests and ageing tests in the pharmaceutical industry
What is a stability chamber?
The simulation of thermal and climatic conditions plays a particularly important role in pharmaceutical quality assurance and development, as deviations in the quality of products can have a direct impact on the health of consumers. With the help of our high-precision climate chambers, you can draw conclusions about changes in the quality of active ingredients under certain environmental parameters and define the shelf life and storage conditions.
The main requirement for climate chambers for stability tests is that the parameters in the climate simulation can be controlled as precisely as possible and kept stable. This gives you sound and reproducible results.
Stability studies for pharmaceutical products are required by the guidelines of the ICH (International Conference for Harmonization). These guidelines define the requirements for drugs and pharmaceuticals for all climate zones. We offer you the perfect tool for stability testing in the pharmaceutical industry. Already calibrated to all ICH climate profiles and equipped with a GMP qualification package, the STKK climate chamber for ICH guidelines is perfect for stability testing of pharmaceuticals.
Accelerated shelf life tests in the food industry
To determine the shelf life of a product, it must be stored under real conditions. However, testing the shelf life in real time would take too much time.
Accelerated shelf-life testing enables the artificial simulation of degradation rates and stability changes that occur under real storage conditions. The changes (chemical, microbiological and physical) are measured at specific time intervals until the product no longer meets the quality or food safety requirements.
In addition to predicting product stability over time, accelerated shelf life testing is necessary for a number of other purposes, for example to determine food safety under improper storage conditions, to highlight errors in the initial stages of product development and manufacture and to assess the suitability of product packaging.
Our chambers are ideally suited to the food industry due to their long-term, highly stable temperature and humidity values and the ability to carry out precise climate change tests.
Conditioning of plastics and materials
The conditioning of materials is used to convert them into a condition required for processing. In the field of plastics processing, the conditioning of polyamide plastics is of particular importance. The material, which is brittle when dry, gains impact strength and loses strength through the absorption of water.
Equipped with high humidity ranges and moisture stability, our climate chambers enable you to achieve exact conditioning and obtain precise test data to guarantee the quality of your products.
Calibration of temperature and humidity sensors
If you need to calibrate industrial temperature and humidity sensors, you need a reliable temperature or humidity source.
Our climate and temperature chambers offer an excellent combination of accuracy and value for money for industrial calibration applications. When selecting a chamber for the calibration of industrial sensors, you should consider the temperature or humidity range, the accuracy and stability, the flexibility of use, the throughput and the immersion depth of the sensor.
The temperature range limit of a chamber must at least meet the test requirements
of your sensors. The ideal calibration span covers the entire usable range of the test sensor.
of the test sensor.
In addition to our climatic chambers and temperature cabinets, we offer calibration baths, temperature calibration chambers and humidity generators specially designed for calibration.
