ICH Stability Storage and Testing
Stability testing is performed to determine how a drug substance (active pharmaceutical ingredient or finished product) is altered over a given period of time, under the influence of various environmental factors, such as humidity, temperature, light, and typical storage conditions. The results determine the product’s shelf life, as well as optimal storage and shipment conditions.
Avoid drug development delays and accelerate FDA approval by partnering with Altasciences, a CDMO that can overcome any analytical hurdles that may arise during this critical milestone.
