Application Area
In pharmaceutical development, quality control and stability testing, it is not enough to simply set temperature and humidity. What matters is that the specified conditions are maintained consistently, traceably and reproducibly over long periods. This is exactly what the Hornik climate chamber is designed for. It supports pharmaceutical, biotech and laboratory operations in the stability testing of drug products in accordance with ICH and provides a solution for applications where robust process control, efficient use of space and practical installation need to come together.
This page is therefore aimed at companies that are not simply looking for a standard climate cabinet, but for a climate test chamber that adapts to real laboratory requirements: existing rooms, defined climate setpoints, increasing sample volumes and testing workflows subject to documentation requirements.
ICH Context
For the stability testing of drug products, the relevant temperature and humidity conditions must be set and maintained reliably. The Hornik climate chamber is designed for the climate setpoints typically used in pharmaceutical and laboratory environments for ICH-related test programs and supplementary stress tests.
Temperature can be set to: 25 °C, 30 °C, 40 °C, 50 °C
Humidity can be set to: 60 % RH, 65 % RH, 75 % RH
What matters is not only the setpoint itself, but the uniformity of conditions throughout the entire usable chamber space. Especially in loaded chambers, this directly affects the validity of stability data. For decision-makers in the pharmaceutical and biotech sectors, this is relevant because it directly influences the reliability of development, registration and QA processes.
Technical Data
The Slide.in climate chamber HSC 4000 provides a chamber volume of 4,000 liters and a usable volume of 2,400 liters. The operating range is 10 to 50 °C and 30 to 80 % RH. The chamber operates with circulating air and is designed for uniform temperature and humidity control throughout the usable chamber space. A 7-inch color touch panel enables central control and monitoring of all relevant operating parameters. Visual and audible alarms, an event log and the tracking of historical values support traceable process control. For everyday laboratory operation, pull-out shelves with removable baskets are included so that samples remain quickly and ergonomically accessible.
Usable volume HSC 4000: 2,400 l
Temperature uniformity: spatial deviation ±0.2 °C, fluctuation ±0.1 °C
Humidity control: spatial deviation ±2 % RH, fluctuation ±1 % RH
Operation and documentation: 7" touch panel, alarms, event archive, historical values
Delivery and Installation
A key advantage of the Slide.in climate chamber is its modular design. This allows the system to be brought even into hard-to-access rooms and assembled directly on site. This is particularly relevant in existing laboratories where large devices cannot simply be transported or installed. The design is configured so that the chamber can be brought in through standard access routes and requires only a comparatively small footprint.
In addition, no clearance needs to be planned behind or next to the unit. This makes row installation easier and improves the use of existing laboratory space. For companies that need to accommodate growing test capacities in limited space, this is a practical and economical advantage.
Comparison: Slide.in vs. Conventional Climate Cabinet
Compared with conventional climate cabinets, the Slide.in solution offers advantages particularly when space is limited or access to the installation site is difficult. Instead of bringing a rigid unit into the room, the chamber is assembled modularly. This simplifies installation and allows the available space to be used more efficiently. At the same time, a large usable volume is available despite the small footprint. For many laboratories, this is the decisive difference between a standard solution and a climate test chamber that is truly suited to operational requirements.
References and Use Cases
The climate chambers are used in pharmaceutical application environments. Well-known pharmaceutical companies show that the solution is in demand wherever controlled climate conditions, reproducible results and reliable laboratory operation must fit together. For prospective customers, this is relevant above all because it shows that the systems are not only technically specified, but are aligned with real requirements in regulated environments.
