Thermostatic equipment · POL-EKO
Controlled conditions, repeatable results.
Incubators, drying ovens and climatic chambers for storing and testing samples at precisely set temperature, humidity and light. APICAL helps match the choice to application, capacity and validation requirements.
Mapping and qualification as part of thermostatic equipment validation
Incubators, drying ovens and climatic chambersA test result is only as reliable as the conditions in the chamber. Uniform temperature, documented validation and the right choice of unit go together.

Validation
From the unit to the evidence.
For incubators, ovens and chambers, reliability is proven by mapping temperature (and humidity) in the chamber and by IQ, OQ and PQ qualification. The results form part of validation of the process the unit supports.
ICH Q1A and Q1B
KKS, KKP and KKS ICH climatic chambers are intended for stability testing of medicines at controlled temperature, humidity and light.
Condition distribution in the chamber
Multi-point measurement of the empty and loaded chamber reveals the hottest and coldest spots and behaviour on door opening and power failure.
IQ · OQ · PQ
Installation, operational and performance qualification documents that the unit performs to user requirements. LabDesk software support is available, including a 21 CFR Part 11 compliant version.
What the path to validation looks like.
Scope and execution depend on user requirements, internal procedures and applicable regulations. APICAL helps with planning, while measurements and documentation are carried out by qualified specialists.
POL-EKO offers Smart and Smart PRO controllers (LAN, USB, plus Wi-Fi on Smart PRO), LabDesk software and calibration in its own accredited measurement laboratory. Option availability is confirmed per model; capacities are working volumes per manufacturer data. The above are general guidelines; actual requirements are defined by applicable regulations (e.g. GMP, ICH) and your quality system.
- 1User requirements
Define the samples, temperature range, humidity, capacity and process criticality (URS).
- 2Installation and IQ
Place the unit and verify connections, sensors, alarms and documentation.
- 3Mapping and OQ/PQ
Mapping of the empty and loaded chamber, alarm tests, door opening and power failure tests.
- 4Monitoring and calibration
Continuous recording and alarming, periodic calibration and requalification as planned.
