Photostability Chamber at Best Price in India

Posted by Thermolab Scientific on December 14th, 2019

Photostability Chamber:

Photo-stability is a Light transmission measurement. As per the ICH (International Conference of Harmonization) guidelines every drug and drug product has to be photo-tested to ensure that the exposure to light does not cause any photochemical degradation of the product and packaging.

So how does this light transmission measurements occur? Or better yet how do we secure the authenticity of our drug and drug products?

From what we understand of the light transmission measurement, it’s aptly clear that some sort of contraption has to be devised which will ensure that the testing is done in a compact area to ensure accuracy.

Photo-stability chambers are designed with the sole intent to do near UV and visual light testing with fluorescent lamps as per ICH Q1B guidelines. This unit controls the temperature and light conditions through a touch screen interface. Once in operation uniform distribution of light and high-intensity levels allows fast-paced degradation testing and results and confirmatory studies. These confirmatory studies help identify anticipatory and precautionary measures needed to manufacture or formulate the product and if light-resistant packaging is needed. Once the exposure tests are over the samples are checked and closely monitored for any changes in physical properties such as appearance, clarity or color of the solution for any assay degradation.

Thermolab prides itself on Photo-stability chamber manufacturers and suppliers. Thermolab’s Photo-stability chambers are developed according to the ICH 1Qb guidelines ensuring that light testing is an integral part of the stability testing. The chambers closely monitor temperature, Humidity (optional) and light intensity on the drug and drug substance.

Photo-stability Chambers manufacturers in India are scarce due to the high level of precision, inch-perfect algorithms to yield perfect results Thermolab is in a continuous effort to produce state of the art chambers and competitive pricing. With its humble beginning in 1967 with only three operators, to manufacturing humidity chambers. We acquired our first production facility in 1996 and since then there was no looking back. Our relentless hard work and efforts in this niche market have given us adequate acknowledgment for us to propel forward and be on top. We stepped into the international market in 2003 with our participation in our first international exhibition in Frankfurt Germany.  Thermolab has been awarded “Leaders in Sustainable Chambers” by India Pharma Award in 2015. Having completed 50 years in this industry we are proud exporters of our equipment to over 50 countries and we guarantee photo-stability chambers at the best price in India which is inclusive of the following:-

Standard Features: 

Independent control of near UV and cool white VIS lamps are provided to eliminate overexposure for confirmatory tests and provide flexibility for forced degradation studies. 

In "Automatic" mode, lights turn off at the end of a programmed exposure or timed test. 

"Manual" mode allows a flexible test time duration and makes validating the chamber easily 

Shelves slide-out for quick and easy loading and unloading of samples. 

Strategic lamp spacing provides enhanced light uniformity. Overhead lighting results in a large 

Illumination area for maximized direct lighting. 

A door safety switch turns lights off when the door is opened. The lockable door prevents accidental disturbance of in-process tests. 

Optional Features:

21 CFR Part 11 compliance window-based communication software for data management.

Humidity system.

Stand by refrigeration system & Stand by humidity system.
