Stability Testing and Storage

Comprehensive ICH stability services for pharmaceuticals and biopharmaceuticals with a full range of conditions for ICH storage stability and accelerated stability testing.

Intertek offers cGMP-compliant stability testing and storage programs for a wide range of pharmaceuticals (including biologics / biosimilars - see below) and related healthcare products to meet ICH guidelines, in addition to providing specialized non-standard conditions.  Comprehensive analytical method development and validation capabilities support testing of API's, clinical trial materials (CTM's), finished products, medical devices and compatibility of formulation components.

Intertek on-site storage stability facilities are located at QTI (Whitehouse, NJ), Bioclin (Ireland), PROBE (Australia) and ASG (UK).  'Walk-in' chambers are available for all standard ICH conditions and 'reach-in' chambers for specialized conditions. All chambers are continuously monitored by automated monitoring systems with full back-up power and water supplies. ICH stability services include long-term stability, accelerated stability, photostability, comparative stability and forced degradation studies (including characterization of degradants).

Storage Stability Conditions: 

  • 25ºC / 60% RH
  • 30ºC / 60% RH, 30ºC / 65% RH and 30ºC / 70% RH
  • 40ºC / 75% RH
  • 50ºC / 75% RH
  • 2-8ºC, -20ºC, -40ºC and -80ºC storage capacity
  • Photostability (ICH Options 1 & 2)
  • Specialized conditions
Stability testing provides essential data on how the quality of a pharmaceutical varies over time under the influence of different environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and light. This enables recommended storage conditions, re-testing intervals and shelf-lives to be established. Comprehensive testing capabilities also include dissolution, Karl Fischer, hardness, disintegration, friability and characterization of impurities and degradants.
