Hydrolytic Degradation Product Profiling Testing
In the pharmaceutical industry, ensuring product stability and quality is paramount. Hydrolytic degradation products (HDPs) play a critical role in determining the shelf life and safety of drug formulations. Eurolab offers comprehensive testing services to profile these HDPs through hydrolytic degradation product profiling testing.
This service involves simulating real-world conditions under which a pharmaceutical product may degrade over time due to exposure to moisture, heat, light, or other environmental factors. The primary goal is to identify and quantify the breakdown products that form during this process. This information is essential for understanding potential risks associated with long-term storage and use.
The testing protocol typically begins by selecting appropriate conditions that mimic those expected in the intended application environment. For instance, if a drug product will be stored at room temperature or higher temperatures like 40°C (104°F) under high humidity levels as per ICH guidelines, we replicate these scenarios in our controlled laboratory settings.
Once conditions are set, samples of the pharmaceutical product undergo incubation periods ranging from days to weeks depending on expected stability timelines. During this time, various analytical techniques are employed to monitor changes within the sample matrix. These methods include High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), and Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR).
Following analysis, detailed reports are generated listing all detected HDPs along with their concentrations relative to the parent compound. This data helps pharmaceutical manufacturers make informed decisions regarding formulation adjustments or additional stability studies if necessary.
A key advantage of Eurolab’s approach lies in its ability to provide insights beyond mere detection; our team works closely with clients throughout the entire testing process, offering expert interpretation and recommendations based on findings. This collaborative effort ensures that each client receives personalized attention tailored specifically to their unique needs and goals.
- Comprehensive understanding of HDP formation mechanisms
