. Regulatory compliance: Stability chamber in pharma isrequired by regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, to test the stability of drugs and other healthcare products.

. Reduce costs: By testing the drug stability before releasing to the market, pharmaceutical companies can reduce the risk of product failures and recalls. This can result in significant cost savings.

. Improved product development: By testing thedrugstability under various environmental conditions, manufacturers can identify potential problems early in the development process.

Overall, stability chamber in pharmaplaysa critical role in ensuring the safety, efficacy, and quality of drugs and other healthcare products.

The function of stability chamber in pharma

Stability chamber in pharma is designed to meet strict regulatory requirements and industry standards, such as those set by the International Conference on Harmonisation (ICH Guideline). The chambers can be used for a variety of purposes, including:

*Long-term storage stability testing: This type of testing is used to determine the stability of a drug over an extended period of time, typically several years.

* Shelf-life testing: Stability chambers in pharmaceutical are used to determine the shelf life of a drug, which is the amount of time a product can be stored under specific conditions without losing its potency, efficacy, or quality.

*Accelerated stability testing: This type of testing is used to evaluate the stability of a drug under extreme conditions, such as high temperatures and humidity, in a short amount of time.

Based on the results of stability testing, the manufacturer can determine the shelf life of the product and make any necessary adjustments to the formulation or packaging to ensure the product remains stable over time. This information is critical to regulatory agencies, who use it to determine the appropriate storage and handling requirements for the drug.

Overall, stability chamber in pharma plays a essential role in ensuring the safety and efficacy of drugs, and they are an essential tool for the pharmaceutical industry.

Influencing factor test in a drug stability chamber

Stability chamber in pharma is often used in pharmaceutical research and development, quality control, and manufacturing facilities, as well as in regulatory agencies that oversee drug approval and safety.

Influencing factor test (stress testing, also known as intensive test) aimsto explore the inherent stability of the drug, understand the factors that affect its stability, and possible degradation pathways and degradation. Provide scientific basis for preparation production process, packaging, storage conditions and establishment of degradation product analysis methods.

Below is a test case to show the influencing factor teston pharmaceutical raw materials:

①High temperature test:

Temperature: @60°C

Time:10 days

Take out samples on the 5^thday and testthem according to the key stability inspection items.If the samples contentis lower than the specified limit, carry out the abovetest at 40°C; if no significant change at 60°C, no need carry out the test at 40°C.

②High humidity test:

Temperature:@25°C

Relative Humidity: 90%±5%

Time:10 days

Take out samples on the 5^thday and 10^thday, and testthemaccording to the key stability inspection items. meanwhile, accurately weigh thesamplesweight before and after the test,to investigate the moisture absorption and deliquescence performance.

If the weight gain is >5%,the above test shall be carried out in the same method under relative humidity of 75%±5%;

If the weight gain is <5% and other conditions meet the requirements, 75%±5% test shall not be carried out.

③Intense light irradiation test:

Illumination: 4500LX±500LX

Time: 10 days

Take out samples on the 5^thday and 10^thday, and testthemaccording to the key stability inspection items, pls pay attention to the appearance changes of the samples.
