STABILITY TESTING SERVICE
Stability Testing Services in Navi Mumbai, India
Stability testing is a fundamental step in the pharmaceutical product development process. It helps to evaluate how a drug product retains its quality, efficacy, and safety over time, especially under varying environmental conditions such as temperature, humidity, and light. The goal is to determine the shelf life, expiration date, and storage conditions required for drug products. Stability testing also ensures that products meet regulatory requirements and industry standards, making it critical for market approval and global distribution.
At Topiox Research in Navi Mumbai, India, we offer comprehensive stability testing services for a range of pharmaceutical products, including oral solids, injectables, topicals, herbal medicines, and combination products. Our services comply with FDA, EMA, and ICH guidelines, ensuring that your products are safe, stable, and effective throughout their lifecycle.
Why is Stability Testing Important?
Ensuring Product Quality and Safety
Stability testing plays a pivotal role in determining whether a pharmaceutical product maintains its intended quality and safety throughout its shelf life. Key concerns addressed by stability studies include:
- Degradation of active ingredients over time due to exposure to environmental factors like temperature, light, and humidity.
- Changes in the physical properties of the product (e.g., color, consistency, odor).
- Efficacy and safety of the product, ensuring no harmful by-products or contaminants form during storage.
Regulatory Compliance
Stability studies help pharmaceutical manufacturers comply with FDA, EMA, ICH, and USP guidelines. Regulatory authorities require stability data to approve new drug applications (NDAs) and to validate the expiration dates and storage conditions of products.
Shelf Life and Expiration Dates
Accurate stability testing provides crucial data for determining the shelf life of drug products. By evaluating the product’s behavior under various environmental conditions, we help establish precise expiration dates for pharmaceuticals.
Our Stability Testing Services
Stability Testing of Pharmaceutical Products
We conduct comprehensive stability studies for a range of drug formulations, including: Oral Solid Dosage Forms, Injectables, Topical Formulations, Herbal Medicines, Combination Products. Our testing simulates real-world conditions such as temperature, humidity, and light exposure to predict how the product will perform during its lifecycle.
Stability Protocol Development
Stability protocols are essential to ensure that stability studies are conducted consistently and meet regulatory guidelines. We provide customized stability protocols that define the testing conditions, time points, and sampling methods. These protocols help ensure that your stability studies are scientifically rigorous and regulatory-compliant. The analytical testing conducted during these studies ensures precise results. Discover how our Analytical Testing Services complement protocol development.
Accelerated and Long-Term Stability Studies
We offer both accelerated stability studies (using elevated temperature and humidity) and long-term stability studies (typically at 25°C/60% RH or 30°C/65% RH). These studies help predict shelf life and establish expiration dates based on real-time or accelerated data.
Stability Sample Management
Efficient management of stability samples is crucial. We handle sample tracking, storage, and testing to ensure traceability and regulatory compliance throughout the testing process.
Stability Testing of Herbal Drugs
We specialize in stability testing for herbal medicines and natural products, addressing the unique challenges these formulations pose due to their complex active ingredients and biological variability.

IVRT Methodology at Topiox Research
Our IVRT studies are conducted using the latest technologies and methodologies to provide precise and reproducible results. The process involves:
Apparatus
We use Franz diffusion cells, which are the standard tools for IVRT testing. These cells simulate human skin or membranes for accurate drug release analysis.
Dissolution Medium
We use physiologically relevant media, such as phosphate buffer at body temperature (37°C), to mimic the conditions under which the drug would be absorbed in the human body.
Sampling and Analysis
Periodic samples are collected from the receptor compartment and analyzed using advanced analytical techniques like HPLC and UV-Vis spectrophotometry to quantify the active ingredient. This methodology helps us evaluate the efficiency of the formulation and ensure its therapeutic performance.
Applications of IVRT Studies
IVRT is used for a wide range of pharmaceutical products, including:
Topical Formulations
Creams, gels, ointments, and lotions.
Transdermal Drug Delivery Systems (TDDS)
Ensures the API is delivered effectively across the skin in patches and other transdermal devices.
Combination Products
Drug-device systems, ensuring that both the API release and device functionality are optimized.
Regulatory Submissions
IVRT data supports NDA, ANDA, and Clinical Trials submissions, demonstrating product quality, consistency, and performance.
