Environmentally Controlled Stability Storage And Testing Solutions For The Pharmaceutical Industry

Stability storage and testing is a critical component in drug development. It is conducted to determine how the quality of drug substance or drug product varies with time under the influence of environmental factors such as temperature, humidity and light.

Cambrex and Q1 Scientific’s stability storage and sample management capabilities serve the Pharmaceutical, Medical Device and Life Sciences industries, with locations across North America and Europe. We offer a variety of storage conditions, with walk-in and reach-in chambers that meet the ICH Q1A requirements. Our chambers are mapped and fully-qualified for long-term and short-term shelf life studies under various temperature and humidity requirements.
