The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) medical device testing lab provides pharmaceutical stability testing to confirm that products maintain quality and stability under controlled storage conditions. Pharmaceutical stability ensures a drug or product retains its quality, safety, strength, and effectiveness during storage. Stability studies monitor changes over time and support storage guidelines, retest dates, and shelf life.
What Can a Pharmaceutical Stability Testing Laboratory Test?
We test drug substances, intermediates, and finished products using stability programs customized to your requirements and industry standards. Our tests identify changes in chemical, physical, or performance characteristics due to temperature, humidity, light, and other factors. Our capabilities include:
- Long-term and accelerated stability studies
- Photostability and forced degradation testing
- Custom stability programs and excipient compatibility studies
We also develop stability-indicating methods, identify degradation pathways, and detect changes that could affect product quality.
About Our Laboratory Pharmaceutical Stability Testing Services
We provide stability testing with controlled storage and regular analysis throughout each study. Our lab supports ICH stability programs, including accelerated and long-term studies, photostability, forced degradation, and custom protocols. We adhere to applicable ICH guidelines, including Q1A to Q1F, and comply with U.S. regulatory standards. Our quality systems and laboratory operations are ISO/IEC 17025 accredited, supporting reliable results through appropriate methods, equipment, environmental controls, documentation, and technical oversight. Key capabilities include:
- Controlled stability storage and environmental monitoring
- Scheduled analytical testing and stability assessments
- ICH-compliant study protocols and documentation
How Can Pharmaceutical Stability Testing Support Regulatory Approval?
Pharmaceutical stability testing supplies data that supports regulatory evaluation of a product’s quality throughout its lifecycle. Stability data establishes shelf life, retest dates, storage guidelines, and acceptance standards by demonstrating how a product responds to various conditions over time. Studies conducted in accordance with ICH requirements support regulatory submissions and ongoing product management. Forced degradation and photostability tests also identify potential degradation pathways and confirm that analytical methods detect significant changes in product quality.
