Stability Testing Of Pharmaceutical And Cosmetics.
Ensuring the safety, efficacy and shelf-life of your products through reliable stability studies and advanced testing solutions.
Need of Stability Testing
- Pharmaceutical and cosmetic industries in India have a great future lying ahead of them, having said that, the manufacturers’ have to take care of the product’s safety, integrity, and shelf-life.
- Stability testing provides cosmetic manufacturers with critical data about their product’s safety and can help in aligning products with Food and Drug Administration’s stability testing guidelines.
- Similarly, the testing of pharmaceutical products helps in achieving regulatory approvals. For a pharmaceutical product that fails to meet the quality standards prescribed by ICH and WHO, the product gets declined for approval that is required for commercialization.
What is Stability Testing
- The stability of a pharmaceutical and cosmetic product means how long the product can maintain its original formulation without any changes under factors like temperature, humidity, light etc.
- Stability testing is nothing but a form of analysis that helps the manufacturer understand its product’s safety and shelf life. Pharmaceutical and cosmetic products when stored for longer durations tend to undergo changes, which affects the product’s composition. The change in the product can also make it unfit for the user’s consumption/application.
- Our stability testing helps in attaining certainty about the product; it helps in determining that the product can be stored at room temperature and in controlled conditions.
Parameters Tested in Stability Testing
Both pharmaceutical and cosmetic products need to maintain their functionality and aesthetics when stored under appropriate conditions.
To check if the product maintains its intended physical, chemical, and microbiological characteristics, our experts at Anacon Laboratories conduct the following studies based on the tests
- Real-Time Stability Testing
- Retained Sample Stability Studies
- Cyclic Temperature Stress Testing
- Accelerated Stability Testing
Owing to the different nature of each cosmetic product, there is no mandatory stability test established for it. Therefore, at Anacon Laboratories we conduct the tests that are standardized and accepted by all the regulatory bodies. To analyse that, we conduct the following tests
- Physical / Chemical Stability Tests
- Microbiological Stability Tests
- Packaging Stability Tests
- Anacon Laboratories offer the best testing services for pharmaceutical and cosmetic testing. Our stability testing helps in determining the actual product that is set to hit the shelf including its packaging.
- Additionally, our experts also help you with ‘development and validation of stability-indicating methods’, ‘examination of stability-relevant parameters’, and ‘storage and management of stability samples.’ We follow stringent guidelines set by the regulatory bodies to deliver flawless test results. Our team takes into account every tiny detail, and we have set in place state-of-the-art technology in our laboratories.
