Stability chambersSphere Healthcare offers complete stability testing of all commercial products.

Stability trials are essential to determine the conformity to specification or label claim throughout the 'Shelf Life' of the product, and now the TGA are requesting sponsors to have evidence that their product is stable over the shelf life.

To support all Sphere’s valued customers, Sphere has established state of the art Stability rooms, and can tailor a stability program and develop a protocol to suit your needs or store and analyze samples according to your program.

These ovens are designed for long term stability, accelerated stability, and determining stability of products permeable to moisture.

The stability program can cater for:

  • Analysis of vitamins and herbs by HPLC.
  • Analysis of oils by Gas Chromatography.
  • Analysis of minerals by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry.
  • Herbal fingerprinting by HPTLC with digital photographic imaging.
  • Microbiological analysis.
  • Method development and Method validation.
  • Physical testing, dissolution, viscosity, p-anisadine value, etc
