Nicotine Product Stability Studies
Stability studies, often referred to as shelf-life studies, are crafted to guarantee that a product maintains appropriate quality and safety throughout its intended lifespan. These studies involve long-term testing, occasionally under accelerated conditions where temperature and humidity during storage are meticulously regulated. While these conditions can vary across industries, the International Council for Harmonization of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use (ICH) guidelines are widely acknowledged as best practice in the pharmaceutical sector and are often applied to tobacco product testing.
At NLRC Laboratories, we boast cutting-edge stability storage facilities equipped with Binder and Stability chambers, ensuring stringent control over both temperature and humidity. The advantage of onsite storage eliminates any delays in initiating stability studies and minimizes the risk of product loss, damage, or temperature excursions.
