CD Formulation possesses extensive experience and expertise in providing long-term stability analysis services for nucleic acid drugs. Utilizing cutting-edge methods, we conduct detailed and precise assessments of nucleic acid drug stability across diverse environmental conditions, ensuring their performance and safety throughout storage and use.
The main objective of conducting long-term stability tests for nucleic acid drugs is to confirm the drug's safety and effectiveness in real storage conditions. Evaluating stability helps set valid expiration dates, ensuring patient use remains effective and safe. Typically, these tests are performed in controlled settings like 25℃±2℃ with 60%±5% humidity, or 30℃±2℃ with 65%±5% humidity, mimicking real-life storage scenarios. Such tests can uncover potential degradation or adverse changes during storage, offering scientific backing for determining expiry dates and storage guidelines.
