Reagent Stability Studies

Get confirmation data on how your reagent performs over time, under defined storage conditions.

Diagram comparing real-time and accelerated reagent stability testing methods — Real-time testing reflects actual storage conditions, whereas accelerated testing applies controlled stress to evaluate long-term performance sooner.

Stability testing can be performed as real-time or accelerated studies:

Real-time stability studies begin at T0 (baseline) under the product’s typical storage conditions (for example, -20°C, 2-8°C, or room temperature), with testing at scheduled intervals (M1, M3, M6, and so on) through and beyond the intended shelf life. Post-shelf-life timepoints provide the data needed to support expiry date extension.
Accelerated stability studies, on the other hand, use elevated temperature and humidity to simulate long-term aging in a compressed timeframe. Stability under normal conditions is then predicted using the Arrhenius equation:

Accelerated studies are particularly useful for process validation and new reagent qualification, or when regulatory or development timelines can’t wait.
