Stability testing and shelf-life determination are essential components of QC Pharma. Stability testing evaluates how a product’s quality, safety, and efficacy change over time, considering factors like:
1. Temperature
2. Humidity
3. Light
4. Storage conditions
The goal is to determine the product’s shelf-life, ensuring it remains stable and effective throughout its intended lifespan.
Stability testing involves:
1. Accelerated stability testing: Exposing products to extreme conditions to simulate long-term storage.
2. Real-time stability testing: Monitoring products under actual storage conditions.
3. Stress testing: Evaluating products’ responses to extreme temperatures, humidity, or light.
Shelf-life determination considers:
1. Product formulation and composition
2. Packaging and storage conditions
3. Stability testing results
4. Regulatory guidelines
By conducting stability testing and determining shelf-life, QC Pharma teams can:
1. Ensure product quality and safety throughout its lifespan
2. Establish appropriate storage and handling conditions
3. Provide accurate expiration dates or retest periods
4. Meet regulatory requirements
