Newtronic Photostability Chambers are specifically designed to meet the requirements for near UV and visual light testing as outlined in ICH Q1B Guidelines, Option 2. These chambers are ideal for forced degradation testing and confirmatory studies, which help identify precautions needed in manufacturing, formulation, and whether light-resistant packaging is necessary. With high-intensity fluorescent lamps, uniform light distribution, and precise temperature and humidity control, the chambers ensure optimal conditions for photostability testing. The user-friendly PLC-based control system, mobile alerts, and advanced features such as auto-switch-off of UV lights upon door opening provide seamless operation. Newtronic chambers also feature specular reflective surfaces that ensure proper spectral power distribution (SPD) for reliable testing results.
