Sample Transport Validation and Control

View Webinar

Hosted by StabilityHub, this free webinar explores the challenges, risks, and best practices involved in transporting stability samples while maintaining data integrity and regulatory compliance.

Stability samples are regularly transported between manufacturing facilities, testing laboratories, storage sites, and contract partners. While significant focus is placed on the storage and testing of stability samples, the journey in between is often overlooked. Yet uncontrolled transport conditions can jeopardise the integrity of stability studies, introducing uncertainty into data that supports critical regulatory and quality decisions. This webinar examines why transport matters, how risks can be assessed and mitigated, and what organisations can do to ensure confidence in their stability data during transportation.

Ensuring stability data is reliable requires more than carefully controlled storage chambers and robust analytical testing. Every movement of a stability sample creates the potential for exposure to temperatures outside of approved conditions.

This free webinar, hosted by StabilityHub, discussed the practical realities of transporting stability samples. Designed for professionals working across pharmaceutical, biopharmaceutical, medical device, and advanced therapy organisations, the session provides practical guidance on validating transport routes, assessing risk, defining acceptable excursions, and implementing controls that protect stability data throughout the sample lifecycle.

What you’ll learn about stability sample transport

Stability studies are only as reliable as the samples used to generate the data. While storage conditions are tightly controlled, transportation events often receive less scrutiny despite their potential impact on study outcomes. Understanding how to manage transport risks is essential for maintaining confidence in stability data and supporting regulatory expectations.

During this webinar, you’ll gain insights into:

  • Why sample transport matters
    Understand how temperature excursions and uncontrolled transit conditions can impact stability samples, compromise data integrity, and create regulatory risks.
  • Transport risk assessment and validation strategies
    Learn practical approaches for evaluating transport routes, identifying risks, establishing acceptance criteria, and validating transportation processes.
  • Defining and managing temperature excursions
    Gain insight into how organisations can assess the significance of excursions and develop scientifically justified approaches to managing transport deviations.
  • Building a robust transport control program
    Discover how temperature monitoring, packaging qualification, logistics provider management, and documentation controls can strengthen compliance and confidence in stability data.
  • Case studies and lessons learned
    Hear examples of common transport challenges, inspection observations, and practical solutions for reducing risk across the stability programme lifecycle.
  • Live audience Q&A
    A panel of SMEs answering questions on transport validation, excursion management, regulatory expectations, and best practices for protecting stability samples in transit.
