1 week stress test to determine whether the formulation is robust enough for a full Stability Trial.
Sample Quantity Required: 100ml.
Samples stored in:
- 4°C Control
- Accelerated Condition (Usually 45°C can be adjusted) – Thermal Stability
- Freeze Thaw Cycling (-10°C to 40°C over 24 hours) – Temperature variation
- Intense Instrumental Irradiance Control – Photo Stability
A predictive study used to estimate the expiry date
Sample Quantity Required: 500ml / 5 filled packs (minimum)
Samples stored in our standard 5 conditions:
- 4°C, 20°C, 40°C, Window Light & Freeze Thaw Cycling
- 12 week duration with tests conducted at regular intervals
Test services vary upon product type & Client request
Interim updates & images provided throughout the trial, with full report on completion
Real Time Stability / Compatibility Test
Bespoke Stability / Compatibility Test
As an add-on to the Accelerated Test, additional samples are stored for intended shelf life (up to 30 months for PAO) to determine the actual expiry date
Sample Quantity Required: 200ml / 2 filled packs (minimum)
Samples stored in 2 conditions:
4°C & 20°C
Test duration dependant on the Clients intended shelf life:
