Stability Studies
Our stability studies are supported by rigorous analytical testing to ensure accuracy and reliability. We provide comprehensive data and detailed reporting, supporting regulatory submissions and adherence to international standards.
Regular Stability Studies
Our regular stability studies are integral to assessing the long-term consistency of pharmaceutical products. Conducted under standard storage conditions, these studies provide valuable insights into the product's stability over its intended shelf life, ensuring quality and efficacy.
Intermediate Stability Testing
Our intermediate stability testing pushes the boundaries beyond regular studies, exposing products to more challenging conditions. This approach is essential for predicting how a product might behave under unexpected storage scenarios, providing an additional layer of assurance in product stability.
Accelerated Stability Testing
To swiftly predict a product's shelf life, we employ accelerated stability testing. This method involves subjecting the product to elevated temperature and humidity levels, offering early indicators of its stability profile. Such testing is valuable for rapid assessment and timely decision-making in product development.
ICH Climatic Zone Testing
Understanding the global reach of pharmaceutical products, we conduct stability studies across various ICH climatic zones. This ensures that products maintain their stability and effectiveness, regardless of geographical and environmental variations, catering to a global market.
In-Use Stability Testing
Specializing in in-use stability testing, CCrest Laboratories evaluates the stability of products post-opening and during use. This is particularly vital for multi-dose formulations, where stability can be affected once the packaging is opened. Our testing ensures the product remains stable and effective throughout its usage period.
