Pharmacuetical Stability Chambers
Stability studies in the pharmaceutical industry
Pharmaceutical stability chambers are engineered to meet the precise and stringent stability storage requirements essential for GxP compliance.
Biopharmaceuticals, vaccines, solid dosage forms, topical formulations, and sterile products, all undergo stability testing for shelf-life evaluation. This ensures individual pharmaceutical product safety, quality and efficacy for the assured benefit of the consumer.
Requiring precise environmental management, pharmaceutical stability studies utilise temperature, humidity, and light sensitivity control to assess product integrity. Pharmaceutical testing chambers can be multi-functional, which allows for pharmaceutical product assessment against various parameters using a single unit.
Pharmaceutical stability chamber applications:
Pharmaceutical stability testing
The types of stability testing employed will vary depending on the product characteristics, the regulatory requirements and the intended use. Different types of pharmaceutical stability testing include:
-
Longitudinal stability testing
-
Accelerated stability testing
-
Forced degradation studies
-
Microbiological testing
-
R&D stability testing
Pharmaceutical stability storage
Pharmaceutical stability chambers are the ideal environment for product preservation, conditioning and long-term storage. The stored products include pharmaceuticals such as drug formulations, APIs/excipients and finished products, biologics, and packaging materials such as containers and labels.
Medical devices such as implantable devices, biodegradable implants, diagnostic reagents and test kits along with sterile packaging will further be stored in a pharmaceutical stability chamber.
Compliant pharmaceutical stability chambers
As an essential tool in quality assurance, pharmaceutical stability chambers utilised in GMP processes are built to adhere to stringent regulatory protocols, encompassing guidelines established by authorities such as the ICH, EMA, and the FDA.
All building and structural considerations must be in adherence to the UK’s Building Regulations, British Standards, as well as industry best practices. This ensures that the overall structural integrity, site preparation, appropriate ventilation and additional health and safety components are in line with regulatory expectations.
All pharmaceutical stability chambers are built to include the same structural features which include temperature and humidity control, uniform airflow distribution and monitoring systems for tracking environmental parameters. Pharmaceutical customers we have worked with often look to an advanced stability chamber solution in a bid to meet the highest standards of GXP and quality assurance.
These include:
-
High-quality insulation material
-
Corrosion-resistant interior material
-
Appropriate sample storage configuration
-
A reliable air circulation system
-
Safety and protection features, including a power failure recovery system
Our customers also often require pharmaceutical stability walk-in and reach-in chambers where manufacture involves wider structural considerations beyond internal features.
