The new Pol-Eko KKS ICH climate chambers are specifically to meet the rigorous requirements of ICH Q1B photostability testing. While they are designed specifically for pharma testing, they are also ideal for cosmetic stability testing, food shelf-life studies, and chemical formulation light sensitivity assessments.
Pol-Eko KKS ICH: Engineered for ICH Photostability Testing
The new chambers are purpose-built for pharmaceutical environments where strict adherence to ICH Q1B is essential. They feature:
- Temperature control from 10–50 °C
- Humidity range of 10–90%
- UVA and visible light sources meeting ICH Q1B specifications
- Uniform illumination across all shelves, ensuring each sample receives consistent exposure
- Integrated CFR21 Part 11-compliant software for secure, audit-ready data
These capabilities support the complete photostability workflow for both drug substances and finished products, from early development through to final registration studies.
The KKS ICH chamber is available in two sizes: 923 or 315 L
User-Centric Design and Customisation
As with all Pol-Eko equipment, the chambers can be configured to meet specific workflows. Key features include:
- Adjustable stainless-steel shelves
- Optional access ports for probes, sensors or third-party instruments
- Modular configuration options to suit testing volumes, sample types and validation requirements
This adaptability ensures the chambers integrate seamlessly into both high-throughput QC environments and more exploratory R&D settings.
Outstanding Value Without Compromise
Pol-Eko continues to offer performance comparable to high-end global brands while maintaining a far more accessible price point. The combination of reliability, regulatory-ready features and long-term ease of service means these chambers deliver exceptional value, particularly for laboratories looking to expand or upgrade their stability testing capability.
