Introduction
Stability testing is crucial for ensuring the quality, safety, and efficacy of pharmaceutical and food products. However, this process can be particularly challenging for complex and sensitive items that require precise storage and handling conditions. In this blog post, we’ll explore how Revol LIMS Stability Study Module assists pharmaceutical and food industry labs in overcoming the common challenges of stability testing, improving efficiency, compliance, and reliability.
Common Challenges in Stability Testing
Manual Data Entry and Documentation: Manual processes are prone to human errors and inconsistencies, which can affect the accuracy and reliability of test results in both pharmaceutical and food labs.
Difficulty in Tracking and Managing Samples: Many labs struggle to effectively track stability samples, schedules, and results across varying conditions and time points, leading to inefficiencies.
Lack of Automation and Integration: Without automated workflows and integration with testing instruments and data analysis tools, labs face challenges in maintaining streamlined operations.
Inefficient Resource Allocation and Forecasting: Labs often encounter difficulties in optimizing resource allocation, leading to delays in responding to deviations or issues during testing.
Compliance Risks: Insufficient data integrity, traceability, and documentation pose risks to the compliance and regulatory adherence of stability studies.
Revol LIMS Stability Study Module: Closing the Gap
Flexible Protocol Creation: Easily design stability study protocols that include product details, storage conditions, time points, and testing requirements. Revol LIMS supports ICH and WHO guidelines for pharmaceuticals and FDA and EU standards for food products.
Barcode Generation and Sample Tracking: Generate barcodes for samples to streamline registration, tracking, and retrieval. Receive alerts and notifications for scheduled events with real-time sample status updates.
Workflow Automation and Integration: Automate stability testing workflows, instrument calibration, and data analysis to reduce manual work and improve accuracy. The system supports instrument validation and calibration, with built-in audit trails and electronic signatures.
Resource Optimization and Forecasting: Optimize resource allocation and enhance forecasting with dashboard insights and reporting features. Monitor progress, generate custom reports, and quickly respond to deviations.
Compliance Assurance: Maintain compliance with critical quality standards, including ISO 17025, GLP, GMP, and 21 CFR Part 11. The platform ensures data integrity and comprehensive documentation. It also generates custom certificates of analysis (CoA) for stability samples to aid in regulatory compliance.
Trend Analysis for Risk Assessment: Use advanced statistical tools to perform trend analysis on stability data, identifying shifts in key parameters over time and assessing risks related to out-of-specification (OOS) or out-of-trend (OOT) results.
