Q1 Scientific provides stability storage at 15-25°C, ideal for long-term storage of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and certain biological materials. This temperature range, often referred to as ambient or room temperature, helps ensure the stability and efficacy of products that are sensitive to higher temperatures but do not require refrigeration.

25°C / 60% RH

Long Term ICH

Q1 Scientific provides stability storage at 25°C/60% RH, typically used for long-term storage of pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and certain biological materials. This temperature and humidity condition helps ensure that products remain stable and effective over extended periods and is suitable for ICH climatic zones I and II.

30°C ±2°C / 65% RH ±5% RH

Intermediate and Long Term ICH

For intermediate or long-term stability storage of pharmaceuticals and medical devices at ICH conditions, Q1 Scientific offer storage at 30°C / 65% RH. This condition helps to test the stability of products in moderately warm and humid conditions, typical of many regions. 30°C / 65% RH storage conditions are suitable for intermediate and long-term trial conditions for climatic zones I, II, III and IVa.

30°C ±2°C / 75% RH ±5% RH

Long Term ICH Zone IVb

Q1 Scientific offers long-term stability storage at 30°C / 75% RH, perfect for products destined for hot and humid conditions. 30°C / 75% RH storage conditions are suitable for studies specific to climatic zone IVb and ideal for trial batches destined for challenging environments. These conditions are essential for products intended for markets in tropical regions, providing confidence that they will perform as expected despite the challenging climate.

40°C ±2°C / 75% RH ±5%

Accelerated ICH

Conduct accelerated testing, stress studies, and forced degradation studies at Q1 Scientific to simulate high-temperature and high-humidity conditions. This helps predict the long-term stability of products in a shorter time frame. 40°C ±2°C / 75% RH storage conditions are suitable for all ICH climatic zones, making them versatile for global stability testing. These conditions are essential for ensuring that products can withstand the most challenging environments, providing confidence in their long-term stability and performance.

50+°C

High Temperature

Use Q1 Scientific to meet specific testing and storage needs at very high temperatures. Ideal, for those unique cases where only the hottest conditions will do. It is particularly useful for assessing the durability and stability of products under very high-temperature conditions to ensure they can withstand extreme environments. Also for conducting research that requires high-temperature conditions to study the behaviour and properties of materials or compounds. These high-temperature storage conditions provide a rigorous testing ground for products that need to meet the most demanding standards.
