Stability Test (Shelf Life)
Stability tests are critical analyses performed to determine or verify the shelf life of a product. In these tests, it is expected that the product does not undergo any physicochemical deterioration and remains microbiologically appropriate. Stability tests can be conducted by storing the product for its standard shelf life period, or through accelerated stability testing by altering environmental conditions (e.g., increasing temperature).
Accelerated Aging Tests: In these tests, the product is exposed to higher temperatures than standard shelf life conditions, reducing the duration of the test. This allows for quick results regarding the product’s durability and shelf life. These tests are frequently applied, especially for medical products, as accelerated aging tests.
Stability Tests for Medical Products: Stability tests for medical products are generally performed in accordance with ASTM F 1980 standard. This standard enables the calculation of the temperatures a product can withstand and its real-time shelf life based on the structure of the product and its packaging characteristics. As a result of this calculation, the accelerated aging period of the product is determined.
At Oxigen Analysis Laboratory, we precisely perform these stability tests to accurately determine the shelf life of products. We provide reliable results regarding the durability of products under temperature and other environmental factors.
