RNA Based Drug Stability Testing
RNA-based drug stability testing is a critical component in ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of nucleic acid therapeutics. This specialized service evaluates how RNA drugs behave over time under various environmental conditions to predict their shelf life and stability during storage and distribution.
The importance of this testing cannot be overstated, especially given the increasing number of RNA-based therapies entering clinical trials and commercial production. These drugs are highly sensitive to external factors such as temperature, humidity, pH levels, and light exposure. Understanding how these environmental parameters affect their integrity is paramount for regulatory compliance and patient safety.
Our laboratory uses state-of-the-art equipment and follows internationally recognized standards to conduct rigorous tests that mimic real-world conditions. Our team of experts ensures accurate data collection and interpretation, providing reliable results that can guide formulation optimization and manufacturing processes.
Some key aspects covered in our RNA stability testing include:
- Determination of the drug's stability over time under different storage conditions
- Evaluation of the impact of environmental factors on product quality
- Assessment of potential degradation products
- Identification of optimal storage and handling protocols for extended shelf life
Understanding these parameters helps pharmaceutical companies make informed decisions about drug development, manufacturing processes, and final packaging designs.
To ensure comprehensive coverage, we also provide:
- Comprehensive reports detailing the results of each test run
- Recommendations for improvements based on our findings
- Support throughout the regulatory approval process
- Continuous monitoring services post-launch to track long-term stability
The following internationally recognized standards guide our testing methodologies:
| Standard | Description |
|---|---|
| ISO 17025:2017 | General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories. |
| IPEC Q6A (Guidance on RNA-based Medicinal Products) | Specific guidance related to quality assurance in the development, manufacture, and control of RNA-based medicinal products. |
In addition to these standards, we adhere strictly to current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) guidelines which are essential for maintaining high-quality manufacturing practices throughout the lifecycle of a drug substance or product.
Applied Standards
| Standard | Description |
|---|---|
| ASTM E3157-20: Standard Practice for Assessing and Reporting the Stability of RNA-Based Medicinal Products | This standard outlines a framework for assessing and reporting on the stability of RNA-based medicinal products, focusing on various testing parameters. |
| ICH Q1A(R2): Stability Testing of New Drug Substances and New Drug Products | A guideline from the International Conference on Harmonisation that provides recommendations regarding stability testing for pharmaceuticals, including considerations specific to RNA-based drugs. |
The combination of these standards ensures that our tests are both robust and aligned with industry best practices. Our expertise in this area allows us to offer tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of each client's product portfolio.
