Track and Trend Photostability Degradation Profiles in Stability Studies

Understanding the Tip: Why photostability tracking is essential: Photostability studies assess how pharmaceutical products respond to exposure from light sources, including UV and visible wavelengths. Monitoring the degradation profile over time reveals how the product deteriorates under light stress, which is crucial for determining protective packaging needs and validating shelf life. Trend analysis ensures that…

Protect Photostability Samples from Secondary Light Exposure During Testing

Understanding the Tip: What is secondary light exposure and why it matters: Secondary light exposure refers to unintended light contact that occurs outside of a controlled photostability chamber—during transport, sampling, weighing, or even post-exposure storage. Such exposures can introduce variability, unexpected degradation, and compromise the reproducibility of your study results. Photostability testing is designed to…
