Real Time and Accelerated Studies Performed at our Pharmaceutical Stability Testing Laboratory

HMR Labs work to assist pharmaceutical manufacturers and research organisations to understand the chemical, physical and microbiological attributes of their drug compounds, determining shelf life and degradation pathways. 

Our stability testing laboratory strictly adheres to the international regulatory guidelines set by ICH, the FDA and EMA. These data driven insights are gathered and reported to our customers in real time to ensure pharmaceutical products meet all compliance requirements. 

In situations where time-to-market is critical, our stability testing laboratory can undertake an accelerated study by exposing drug candidates to elevated temperature and humidity conditions.  

Producing valuable stability predictions of long-term exposure even in shorter time frames, predictive analytics can provide more than just rapid results. It can estimate your products behaviour, facilitate accurate projections and plan the future of new, adapted pharmaceuticals with confidence from robust analytical data. 

Pharmaceutical Stability Testing: Forced Degradation and Photodegradation Studies

Placing deliberate stress on pharmaceutical products to gather heat, light, oxidation and pH related changes uncovers vulnerabilities in novel drug compounds. HMR Labs can characterise the degradation of pharmaceutical products and use our knowledge of testing protocols and procedures to equip you with proactive stabilisation strategies and maintain shelf life integrity. 

Our pharmaceutical stability testing laboratory also facilitates photodegradation studies for those products that exhibit light sensitivity.  We have invested in the latest technology to ensure the highest controlled testing environments, helping you quantifiably determine a developmental drug products’ quality and performance whilst subjected to varying conditions including light exposure.

Stability Testing Laboratory: Indicating Method Development 

With novel drug candidates entering the market each day, the assay methodologies used to provide accurate and well-understood stability testing results must also continue to expand.  

HMR Labs not only performs stability testing, but also develops stability indicating assay methods to accurately detect and quantify the degradation of products. We take into account the unique formulation and manufacturing challenges our customers face and provide a methodology that is a scalable and valuable asset for wider stability testing applications. 

Pharmaceutical Stability Storage

Our stability storage solution is expansive and compatible with a range of requirements to ensure the integrity and quality of pharmaceutical products. The state-of-the-art facility is located in Rochdale, UK, providing stability testing services without compromise to factors such as capacity, study length or turnaround times.

Covering a broad spectrum of testing conditions, HMR Labs can run storage studies to meet all standard ICH guidelines and conditions. We also offer specialised testing environments such as refrigeration, frozen and other bespoke conditions when requested.

We work collaboratively to ensure a streamlined process, from study design to execution. HMR Labs delivers the highest industry standards in pharmaceutical stability storage.
