Photostability Chamber Qualification Services
Light and Environmental Controlled Testing Compliance
Pharma Integrity Validations & Services specializes in the qualification of photostability chambers used for drug substance and product stability testing. We verify light energy emission, temperature control, and relative humidity in accordance with ICH Q1B guidelines.
Key Validation Parameters
1. Lux & UV Light Intensity Uniformity
Visible light intensity mapping (ensuring $\ge 1.2 \text{ million lux hours}$)
Near-UV energy mapping (ensuring $\ge 200 \text{ watt hours/m}^2$)
Spectral distribution and light bank automatic shut-off verification
2. Thermal & Humidity Control
Chamber temperature mapping during active light exposure
Relative Humidity (RH) distribution and stability testing
Regulatory Guidelines Complied With
