ICH Stability Storage

ICH stability and sample storage are essential considerations in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. The International Council for Harmonization (ICH) has developed guidelines for stability testing of new drug substances and products to ensure their quality, safety, and efficacy over time. 

The ICH guidelines provide specific recommendations for stability testing and sample storage, including the number of samples to be tested, the testing intervals, and the analytical methods. Regulatory agencies worldwide recognize and follow these guidelines, ensuring that pharmaceutical and biotech products are safe, effective, and high-quality. 

CCIT Study: ICH Stability and Sample Storage

Stability testing involves subjecting the drug substance or product to various environmental conditions – such as temperature, humidity, and light – to determine its shelf life and storage requirements. The results of these tests are used to establish appropriate storage conditions and expiration dates for the drug substance or product.
