Ophthalmic Product Stability Testing
Stability and shelf-life testing are critical components in pharmaceutical development. For ophthalmic products, these tests ensure that formulations maintain their efficacy and safety throughout the intended storage period under specified environmental conditions. This service is essential for maintaining product integrity and compliance with regulatory requirements.
The process involves subjecting samples of ophthalmic products to various stress conditions including temperature, humidity, light, and agitation. The aim is to simulate real-world exposure while identifying potential degradation pathways that could lead to loss of effectiveness or safety issues. This information is vital for determining the product's shelf life and ensuring it meets regulatory standards.
Our laboratory employs state-of-the-art equipment designed specifically for stability studies. These include environmental chambers capable of simulating different climates, UV light boxes for photostability testing, and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) systems to monitor chemical changes within the formulations. Compliance with international standards such as ISO 14592 and ASTM F1867 ensures reliability of our testing protocols.
The scope of this service extends beyond just physical stability checks. It also encompasses assessing sensory attributes like color, odor, and texture changes which are important indicators of product quality over time. Additionally, we conduct microbiological analyses to ensure sterility remains intact during the entire shelf life period. Our team uses advanced analytical techniques including high-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC), gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR).
Compliance with relevant regulations is paramount in pharmaceutical manufacturing. The European Pharmacopoeia, United States Pharmacopeial Convention (USP) General Chapters, and other industry guidelines provide stringent criteria for conducting stability studies on ophthalmic products. Our laboratory adheres strictly to these standards ensuring that every batch of ophthalmic product undergoes rigorous evaluation before being released into the market.
By partnering with us for your ophthalmic product stability testing needs, you can rest assured knowing that your formulations will stand up against stringent regulatory scrutiny. We provide accurate results supported by detailed reports highlighting any observed changes along with recommendations to extend shelf life if necessary.
