In industries where quality takes precedence, meeting precise specifications for accurate, reliable and compliant stability storage is essential. Even minor deviations from specified conditions can compromise product integrity, making the design and construction of custom stability chambers a critical investment.   To meet specific regulatory, technical, and commercial needs, businesses often turn to bespoke solutions. Here, custom stability chamber manufacturers must not only possess a thorough understanding of the technical requirements and regulatory standards that govern stability testing, but also offer tailored designs that align with specific commercial goals and operational demands.   As specialist stability chamber manufacturers, MB3 Technical discuss the various design considerations and specifications behind designing and delivering GMP-compliant, efficient and fit-for-purpose stability chambers across a range of sectors. The diverse needs of a stability chamber Offering the exact environment required by stability storage protocols, the stability chamber provides strict temperature and humidity control to accurately assess product behaviour under various environmental conditions. Each chamber is designed to ensure regulatory compliance with authorities such as the ICH, FDA, EMA, and MHRA .   Each stability chamber are critical for maintaining the quality of pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, biological samples, seeds, medical devices, and agricultural products.   Its precision in design ensures that manufacturers can test product stability to accurately confirm shelf-life, identify degradation pathways, optimise storage conditions and confirm regulatory compliance.     When it comes to product storage, stability chambers are just as essential for ensuring that raw materials, consumables and ready-to-market products, are stored and preserved correctly, with integrity assured.   Given their significant value in providing precise environmental control, stability chambers are an essential component in many pillar industries. The main sectors include:     Pharmaceutical Agricultural Food and beverage Biotechnology Electronics   Naturally, the stability chamber needs of each target sector will vary. That’s not forgetting the individual facility or commercial operational demands that a business may also need to meet.                                                                                     Pharmaceutical manufacturers, for example, require product volume to maximise profit. However, floor space can often be limited, making strategic stability storage solutions that can be accommodated by your current facility the most beneficial.   In contrast, a food and beverage manufacturer often deal with highly perishable items that require rapid and large-scale storage solutions. These will likely require high-capacity chambers which prioritise ease of access and quick turnover.   Understanding the external governance factors of stability chambers As mentioned, the environmental specifications of a stability chamber are determined by the regulatory requirements specific to its industry. Whether it be a walk-in chamber, reach-in chamber, or cold room, your stability solution must always comply with the relevant standards.   Regulatory requirements extend beyond just operational and storage protocols such as set temperature and humidity parameters, impacting various aspects of stability chamber management.   Bodies like the ICH , FDA , and EPA , as well as industry standards such as ISO and GMP , play a role in shaping the chamber’s installation process, its maintenance schedule, and ongoing management practices. This is embedded in regulations governing calibration, data integrity, environmental and safety considerations, and requirements for training and documentation.   These external governance factors play a crucial role in shaping the design, construction, and operation of your stability chamber, influencing everything from the selection of optimal materials for ease of cleaning and maintenance, to the integration of precise environmental controls that ensure compliance with stringent regulatory requirements. Building a custom stability chamber Beyond the standard customisable parameters of your stability chamber, such as temperature and humidity control, various structural components can be customised entirely to your chamber build. Each component must be modified in a way that ensures safety, efficacy, and compliance depending on sector requirements. Modifiable elements include:   ·       Size and dimensions ·       Insulation ·       Lighting ·       Shelving and racking ·       Heating and cooling mechanisms ·       Air circulation systems ·       Control systems  ·       Safety features How do MB3 embed customisation in their turnkey solution?

Phase two: Design The chamber design conceptualises the above, including design features that meet commercial requirements by either maximising capacity, reducing operational costs or improving sustainability.   The MB3 team curate CAD design with accurate dimensions to offer visualisation of your proposed solution. Continuous collaboration is conducted to ensure client requirements and chamber design remain aligned with project objectives. The design stage ensures that all project constraints are accounted for whilst planning the execution. This is entirely tailored to the client, with risk assessment integrated. Phase three: Manufacture, construction and infrastructure All site preparations, building modifications, infrastructure preparation or alterations are identified and managed. As a turnkey solutions provider, all considerations of the client's specific site, as well as the appropriate logistics, are addressed by the MB3 team.   Features outside of the standard stability chamber, including energy and sustainability reviews, power supply installations, steel/metal construction requirements and more are all accounted for. Phase four: Installation and testing The final stage involves an onsite commissioning service by our engineering team. The installation of your stability storage chamber will be executed in a way that ensures minimal downtime and limited risk to your everyday operation.   The last deliverable will involve rigorous testing to ensure the functionality of the chamber. Performed by our technical team, qualification methods such as multi data point temperature and humidity mapping will be conducted to offer verification over the precise parameter conditions necessary. Additional testing methods include power failure recovery and door open recovery tests. The benefits of customising your stability storage chamber Beyond the standard benefits, such as custom temperature and humidity control, a custom stability chamber serves as a highly beneficial and transformative solution for your stability process.     Custom stability chamber manufacturers design a solution that fits exactly into your operational workflows. By aligning the chamber's features with your specific needs, unique product types, or specific storage conditions, the chamber maximises productivity and reduces disruptions.
