Swiss-based Carbogen Amcis, has expanded its service portfolio and capacity for stability studies. In compliance with the latest International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) guidelines, and in response to customer demand, the company has installed new stability chambers at the Hunzenschwil (Neuland), Switzerland operations and offers short-term, long-term, accelerated, intermediate, follow-up and customized tests.

Carbogen Amcis' new fully validated and mapped stability chambers operate at ICH conditions (25°C/60% RH, 30°C/65% RH, and 40°C/75% RH) and at low temperatures (5°C, -20°C and -80°C). With a current shelf storage capacity of about 92 m², they provide secure and safe storage for API  samples, including highly potent material, employed for in-house stability studies.

"We are facing an increasing customer demand for stability studies, as a stand-alone service or tied to our API development and production efforts," Brian O'Neill, Carbogen Amcis sales manager, said.
