Pharmaceutical Stability Testing To Meet ICH Q1A and QIB Standards

Stability testing provides evidence on how the quality of a drug substance or drug product varies with time under the influence of a variety of environmental factors, such as temperature, humidity and light. This routine procedure requires highly reliable and accurate control throughout the entire process. Shelf life for drug products and recommended storage conditions are determined from the stability test.
  • CARON offers a complete range of chambers designed to meet the ICH standards for pharmaceutical stability testing.
  • The chambers are compliant with ICH guidelines for stability testing (QIA) and photostability testing (QIB).
  • They provide temperature, humidity, and/or light control and are available as bench-top or upright units.
  • We offer photostability chambers to meet either Option 1 or Option 2 of ICH standards for photostability testing.
