Humidity Stability Test Chambers
Nor-Lake Scientific Humidity Stability Test Chambers feature patent-pending technology and are the first in the industry to utilize natural hydrocarbon refrigerants. Equipped with a programmable logic PID controller, variable speed compressor, and ultrasonic humidification, these chambers represent advanced testing capabilities for demanding laboratory applications.
Applications
These Humidity Stability Test Chambers are ideal for ICH Q1A stability testing, shelf life evaluation, package testing, and accelerated aging across a variety of products and packaging in the following industries:
- Environmental
- Industrial
- Life Science
- Clinical
- Any Application with Controlled Temperature

Performance Specifications
Temperature Uniformity
+/-1°C @ +4°C to +70°C. The published temperature uniformity is derived from the maximum deviation of 9 thermocouples are placed on 3 horizontal planes, each plane having the thermocouples evenly spaced diagonally across the shelf from the left and right inner wall, and the middle sensor placed in the approximate geometric center of the shelf. Performance data is based on cabinet set at +23°C, 50% RH ambient conditions, type T-24 Ga. thermocouples with 1.0 oz. brass slugs attached and no product in the chamber. Data may vary if; ambient conditions change, product load is added, or other changes cause interference to chamber airflow.
Humidity Variation
+/-3% @ +10°C to +70°C (humidity controlled range) and RH within performance graph. Humidity variation is derived from the maximum deviation of the humidity sensor during the test period. Performance data is based on cabinet set at +23°C, 50% RH ambient conditions, type T-24 Ga. thermocouples with 1.0 oz. brass slugs attached and no product in the chamber. Data may vary if; ambient conditions change, product load is added, or other changes cause interference to chamber airflow.
Control System
A fully programmable PID, proportional integral derivative, control with non-volatile memory provides a user interface through an LCD display. All set points are adjustable by one multi-function interface key pad. The standard control includes: Fully programmable ramp soak functions with 21 schedule points, product and air temperature Centigrade scale, alarm/temperature logging, system mode indicator heating/cooling, high/low audible/visual alarms, real time clock, power failure alarm, sensor failure alarms, service prompts and user password entry system. The modular system includes expansion slots on the control board for the ability to add options at a later date.

Optional Accessories
Water Recycler: The water recycler is designed to be a standalone water source. The water recycler can utilize clean tap water and collected condensate from a Humidity Stability Chamber, eliminating the need for a piped water supply. The water recycler also eliminates the need for a drain, as all condensate is filtered and recycled back to the cabinet. (Installation required)
Temperature Monitoring Device: WiFi enabled, single or dual probes.
Additional Shelves: 304 Stainless Steel Perforated Sliding Shelves
IQ/OQ/PQ Validation Packages: Available upon request.
Access Port 2": Provided with a spring-loaded cover on the side of the cabinet. (Installation Required)
