ICH Stability Storage

At KamTek, we provide ICH Q1A (R2)-compliant stability storage and testing to ensure your drug products or biologics meet global regulatory requirements.
We provide complete documentation throughout the study process and facilitate domestic and international shipping at predefined conditions to various labs for additional  testing requirements.

Stability Storage Services at KamTek

Following ICH Stability Testing Guidelines (ICH Q1A (R2)), KamTek provides a harmonized framework for assessing the stability of new drug substances and drug products by the following stability tests.

TypePurposeTemperatureHumidity
Long-term TestingEvaluates stability under normal storage conditions25°C ± 2°C60% RH ± 5% RH
Accelerated TestingAssesses degradation at higher temperatures and humidity40°C ± 2°C75% RH ± 5% RH
Intermediate TestingConducted when long-term and accelerated conditions differ significantly30°C ± 2°C65% RH ± 5% RH

These tests are conducted with a testing frequency of 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 24 months for long-term studies, with more frequent intervals for accelerated studies. Stability tests are typically conducted on at least three primary batches of a drug using the proposed packaging.

Stability testing is essential for regulatory approval and ensures that drugs maintain their intended efficacy over time.

Through this service we support:

  • Regulatory submissions: Required for drug clearance in clinical trials and human use.
  • Shelf-life determination: Establishes expiration dates under long-term conditions.
  • Packaging decisions: Helps select the best container-closure system.
  • Product quality assurance: Prevents degradation-related failures in the market.

We offer stability testing at a range of conditions, including:

  • 25C / 60%RH
  • 30C / 65%RH
  • 30C / 75%RH
  • 40C / 75%RH
  •     2C – 8C
  •      -20C
  •     -80C

KamTek provides stability testing not only for small molecule drug types or drug products, but also for peptides, vaccines, medical devices, biologics etc.

KamTek’s Approach to Stability Testing

Our advanced stability chambers adhere to ICH Q1A (R2)guidelines and are designed to provide precise and reliable environmental control for drug stability studies. We ensure:

  • Continuous Monitoring: External temperature and humidity probes track conditions 24/7, ensuring data accuracy and compliance.
  • Backup Stability Chambers: In case of equipment failure, backup chambers prevent interruptions in your study.
  • cGMP & ISO Compliance: We rigorously document all incidents, log environmental conditions in real time, and maintain transparent records  for client review.
  • Customizable Protocols: Based on study results, we allow refinement and modify testing protocols to meet specific regulatory and product requirements.

As our mission states, our primary goal is to bring success to your drug so that it effectively alleviates pain and improves the well-being of humans and animals.
