Stability Testing of Pharmaceuticals and Biopharmaceuticals Training Course
Design efficient stability studies that are suitable for global marketing. Be able to carry out appropriate stability studies and manage stability samples and facilities, learn how to save resources on stability testing and improve the likelihood of regulatory approval of stability protocols.
Details
Course overview
By attending this intensive two-day seminar, delegates will learn how to:
- Carry out appropriate stability studies and manage stability samples and facilities
- Design stability studies that are suitable for global marketing
- Increase the likelihood of studies receiving regulatory approval
- Save resources on stability testing with potential large financial savings
A series of practical exercises will take place throughout the programme to give participants the opportunity to apply their knowledge under the guidance of our experienced trainers.
Please note that we are delighted to confirm that this course will now also include particulars of the stability of biopharmaceuticals.
Benefits of attending:
- Comply with stability requirements for new and existing drug substances, products and line extensions
- Gain knowledge on storage tests, conditions and protocols
- Learn how to design highly efficient protocols for global marketing with potentially large financial savings
- Discover how to manage stability samples and facilities
- Understand what stability testing is required following changes to a product
- Discuss data treatment, shelf-life assignment and extrapolation
