Stability Testing and Shelf-Life Studies
Yes — stability testing is an integrated part of our formulation development process, not an optional add-on. Every newly developed formula undergoes stability evaluation before it is released for production.
Accelerated stability studies: Samples stored at elevated temperature and humidity (typically 40°C / 75% RH) for 6 months. Testing at 0, 1, 2, 3, and 6-month intervals covers appearance, disintegration or dissolution, potency of active ingredients, moisture content, and microbial limits. This provides early indication of formulation robustness.
Real-time stability studies: Samples stored at recommended conditions (25°C / 60% RH) and tested at 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24-month intervals. This data determines the official shelf life for your product label and supports regulatory submissions.
Photostability testing: Products in transparent or translucent packaging are evaluated under ICH Q1B conditions to confirm that light exposure does not degrade active ingredients.
What you receive: A stability study report with all testing data, trend graphs, and a recommended shelf life with supporting justification. For regulated markets, this report is part of your technical dossier.
